Updates

About a month ago, I cut and pasted all my old postings to see what I’ve written and I realized that I have some things I should update; this post is to tie up all those loose ends.

The entire 6th form really approves of my new hair color.

The cat got dirty the very next day. He is still disgusting, maybe even more so than before I tried to banya him. He probably went out and found mud to roll in just to teach me a lesson.

Even though it’s gross, I’m still eating stuff with a sauce made of mayonnaise and Tabasco sauce.

Our combined club is going really well. We have about three superstars who show up all the time and a few others who occasionally drop in. We are currently watching Gilmore Girls and talking about parent/children relationships while also looking at what some American lives are like. Our “resource center” is currently a collection of English books prominently displayed on a bookshelf in the town library. However, I found out last week that the librarians won’t let them check out the books, so I told them to tell me what they wanted to take and then to sneak them out… I think it’s more a problem of them not having the books catalogued or anything because they aren’t sure how to categorize them. We’ll work on that.

Once I get into my posts from the beginning of my service, I see titles with a lot of capital letters and exclamation points. “Site Announcement!”, “Site Visit!”, “INTERNET!”, “New Address!” I feel like somebody needs to sit that girl down and tell her to cool it.

Ok, I know I haven’t done this in a long time, but I’m asking PLEASE send me gossip magazines. I’ve got a lot of Time coming at me, but one of my students told me the other day she’s tired of reading about Barack Obama. It isn’t that she doesn’t like him, but she really wants to read more about… Brad Pitt, Britney Spears, etc… See? It isn’t even entirely for me; I give them to my school when I’m finished reading.
