Nov 8 2013: Three Minutes

Friday! Basically the weekend! Especially after yesterday and all, it was almost four days off. We each only had one class of the day, which were each of our good ones, so we had no worries at all! Eventually we pulled ourselves up, found the internet being a buttface, and headed over to the school.

Unfortunately, it sucked there, too. Luckily I had some short stories by Salinger to read on my computer, so I did that while Katie went and taught her class. Afterwards, I headed over to my Grade 5, and we got started. It took a while to smooth everything out, plus it’s basically the weekend, so it was just a fun word lesson- ‘pretty’ ‘awesome’ and ‘gross.’

Anyways, the head teacher stopped through to take pictures and even video tape me, I think, on her phone, and of the class before strolling out. It was pretty confusing and intimidating this time because it was just on her phone and stuff, which was kinda odd, I don’t really know. But I tried to keep things running and she eventually wandered out.

The kids got a bit crazy towards movie time, though they always shush when I clap. It almost helps sometimes, but these kids are definitely getting cocky! We’ll sort something out, I’m sure…

Class went pretty well, overall, and afterwards we headed to lunch which was pretty tasty.

On our way to school we had noticed some swimsuits they had switched out… and some were adorable… so ehm, we ended up buying them! I kid you not, Katie had even incidentally looked at the time- but we loved them and there was no place to try them on and the price was decent though we pulled off ten for each of us [100 for 2 say what?], and we were walking away with new cute swimsuits THREE MINUTES LATER. Three minutes! It’s insane!

But they’re cute, yay!

Soon after, we came back home, started laundry and got into our pajamas! Through a miracle we ended up getting through to Netflix after continual internet issues and started a real HIMYM marathon. Which was awesome! We took short breaks, grabbed food, switched out laundry…

Then we ended up dressing up to go back to the school for dinner. Katie didn’t even take a jacket, the weather was so nice! Twice as good as yesterday. Green grass and flowers blooming- definitely hard to believe that it’s November. It actually made me feel a lot like I was home!

Dinner wasn’t too bad, and then we headed out. We stopped by the bakery- Katie tried some pea yogurt which yes, was incredibly nasty but she did end up finishing the cup- I got some what looked like buttered bread but it really was like honeyed or something and pretty good though one of them was a bit stale- and then we headed back to our place.

Back into pajamas! And we wasted away the rest of the beautiful day with HIMYM. We ate candy, oh and we bought some cake at the bakery- we almost forgot about them but ended up getting to them- and finally finished the season, woo!

It was so nice to relax for the day, as beautiful as it was. Yesterday was a bit crazy for us, fun and stressful and so long- and tomorrow we’re most likely spending the entire day with another family which’ll take a lot out so it was nice to find a day to relax and cool out. And get cake and swimsuits, too!

Overall, quite the successful day!
