200m, cheese, cold cut, Goteberg, headache, loud, mayo, music, pray, sandwich, swim, tests

SO…last week was awesome =) I got to help run the grade 9 swim tests (200m on their front, 50m on their back…and when they say “on their front” and “on their back” that truly is the only requirement…)

Some of the kids were terrible – and just…vertical. It was truly amazing to see them complete the 10 lengths in a vertical position…

In other news, I went to Goteberg again for the House, which was pretty awesome. Sadly, I had a headache for most of it (they have some crazy loud music) but it was still good. Someone there prayed for me and my headache went away, which was also awesome =) AND! One of the few times that has worked…usually when people pray for my headaches to go away they get worse…

AND! IF you know me relatively well this will be amazing =P if not, you’ll just think I’m crazy, but! I ate a sandwich(!) today, with (melted) cheese (!) and some sort of cold cut (!) AND! mayonnaise(!)…ok I had no idea there was mayo on it, but still =P My mom is probably just staring at the screen wondering if this is even possible =)

Chrismas, fireworks, first week, Goteberg, holidays, New Year, school

So the break was amazing! I went to Goteberg, and spent it with 2 amazing families. Their kids were super cute (1st family) and for the 2nd family, the daughter is “my age” (actually 4 years younger, but whatever). And it was amazing. We had a great Christmas, and then a great New Years. It was great!

And then the week started. And I’ve been SO tired. We had kids firing fireworks or something through the hallways this past week, I’ve given out a bunch of detentions, written up reports, and given warnings. Woohoo. Great start to the New Year =P

And I’m falling asleep.

So I’m out. =)

Sooooo never going to the ballet again – unless it’s someone’s recital or something like that….

School starts again tomorrow. Continue reading →
