• Went to see Blindside last night, it was really good. World did an article on it in it's last issue I think.
• I was getting popcorn for my cousin and I, and a 12 year oldish boy started a conversation with me.
  

Boy: What you going to see?
Me: Blindside. How about you?
Boy:

• There is now an Australian Sheepskin Kiosk in the Dover Mall....why? I don't know. They sell these moccasin shoe-things that (I am assuming) are covered in sheepskin. But they also sell nailpolish.
  
• Right now I am watching this guy across the hall in the airport who is selling Magic Pens. He keeps blowing into some kind of kazoo thing when people walk by. I am wondering if this is a sales ploy? Or he is just nuts? Maybe he is a World-Renowned Kazoo player?
• I very nearly died as I was walking to my gate in the airport. One of those big handicapped passenger carriers came careening around the corner and missed me by about 4 inches.

What we ate for dinner:

I woke up this morning to:

"Jewwwwen? Jewen? Are you up there? On my bed? My earring itches."
"*grumbles* *looks at clock* ELIZA! GOT TO SLEEP! IT'S 430! ITCH YOUR OWN EAR!"
*sleeps*

"No, it's not."
"I want to open the window? Can I open the window"
"Yes. Be quiet."
*loud racket as she opens shades*
"Jewen! I see cars! I see the sun!"
*glares over bed at her*
"Sleep. Quiet. No talking."

We went to XBOS this afternoon, which is like a much nicer version of Chuck E Cheese. TT and I tried to play DDR, but failed miserably. I won a ton of tickets for the little ones, I am the Master of All Circular Timing Games bwahahahaha!

Then we came home and TT, Jem, and I watched the Ice Age 4 movie, which was pretty amusing.

Well, today was probably the funniest field experience I have had so far. Today was test day, and the whole school was doing their tests. Soon after I came in, my teacher lamented to me, jokingly (I think) that her "eyebrow was twitching" and "you know what that means!". She told me this as the students behind her were supposed to be doing their math test. I watched as many of the students began incredibly amusing imitations of eyebrow twitching, all the while trying to keep my calm as my teacher kept talking. In fact, she talked a TON. Or perhaps I was just stunned coming from the total lack of communication from before to sudden, actual conversations. Anyways, she spent a good amount of time telling me how I simply MUST go the Hot Dog Shoppe. She also told me about how she takes suitcases of hot dogs and chili via plane to her sister-in-law in Washington state. It was quite hard to keep a straight face. Then she told me how she had graduated from Geneva, was Catholic, had a granddaughter named Jordan, showed me pictures of her family, talked about how Washington does not have Snyder chips or pepperoni-by-the-stick, and reemphasized my need to visit the hot dog shoppe.
Then it was time for the class to go to Library Time. I enjoy this because I get one-on-one interaction with all the kids. Today one of the boys checked out a book on the jungle. In this book there were several pictures of naked men and women, which, of course, had every child in the class in an absolute uproar. The librarian intervened and removed the book, while I watched and tried desperately not to collapse in laughter. I also taught the students an optical illusion trick (one of them checked out an Optical Illusion book, so I showed them that when you focus your eyes dar away, then move your fingers toward eachother, it makes a hovering finger), which made me the Best Thing Ever in their eyes, especially the boys who made comments such as "OH GROSSSSS! AWESOME!". Little kids are very easy to please. :D
Statements made during this field experience:

"Do you like me and Annalee best?"
Me: "Um, I like you ALL."
"But...you like me and Annalee best right?"
Me: "*sighs* I like you all the same. Oh! Look at that! *changes subject*"

"You look like you're 10 years old."

Teacher: "What numbers make 15?"
Student: "7 and 8"
Student: "6 and 9"
Student: "1 and 2" *completely serious*
Teacher: "WHAT?"
Student: "1 and TWOOOO"
Teacher: "Add those. How do they make FIFTEEN??"
Student: "*ponders this* Um. Hmmm. *more pondering*"
Teacher: *making scoffing impatient noises*
Student: "I think they don't."

This is going to be a Super Random Post, but oh well. :D I have been (*coughs* and maybe forcing a certain roommate) daily checking the weather (10-day forecast) in anticipation of snow. As of yet, nothing has shown up. I think maybe I am jinxing it....

My roommate and I went on a spontaneous hike through the woods, during which I realized once more that my roommate is Very Klutzy. I was ahead of her and here is what I heard: *scuffle scuffle CRASH scramble heavy breathing small squeal SLIP CRASH* etc.

We celebrated a friend's birthday at a Chinese restaurant downtown on Saturday, during which we had Chinese Donut Cake (a bunch of Chinese donuts with frosting on top). Also on Saturday, we went with a group to an art center and painted plates (others also did scratch art). Alas, my plate....is ugly. Sooooo ugly. Though some have called it very "El. Edish". Still. It's pretty awful.

Sad News: Jojoba was laid to rest in a loving and quiet ceremony, attended by his close friends, about two weeks ago. His grave was later desecrated by Mulch-Planting Maintenance Men, who strewed disgusting stinky mulch about his small grave.

My roommate and I have watched the following movies:

• My Big Fat Greek Wedding (Windex.....useful for all injuries.)
  
• Hairspray (The only movie to sucsessfully put pure ADHD on screen in a format that most understand)
  
• The Gods Must Be Crazy (Bizarre. But funny. But bizzzzarrrreeeee.)
  
• Spirited Away (Anime, and pretty good. Some weird creatures though.)
  
• The Count of Monte Cristo (It was okay, we were in Not-A-Drama-Mood though, and so the movie became slightly comical after a while...)

The dining hall served chicken and dumpling soup one night...and then never again. :(

I recieved an Amazing List of 95 Reasons to Wear Socks...along with a Wonderful Pair of Flamingo Socks for Reformation Day!

I found an awesome pink argyle shirt at the Salvation Army...for $1.99!!!! It's good for field experience.

My roommate and I went and got a drink from Sheetz a couple nights ago. I went to the bathroom, because we walked past this fountain on the way and I just HAD TO GO. So, I chanced a Gas Station Bathroom and went in. I came out and immediately dragged my roomie over to the bathroom and showed her what I had found. Inside the bathroom, inside the thing that generally dispenses mints, toiletries, and assorted chapsticks, was:
