Ms.Bolin's Class, I love you!

Dear Mrs. Martin and 4th grade,
We just have a few questions.....
What do you like to eat? What food to you like? Are you going to come here? Please can you come here? Where were you born? Which book do you like? Do you like The Cat in the Hat? What do you like to play at recess? Do you like to play sports? What are some things that you like to do at home? Do you like to sleep? Do you like to play? What color are your eyes? How did you celebrate St. Patrick's Day? Have you seen a volcano? Have you seen a waterfall?
We wanted to ask you these questions. There are a lot of them and you can answer the ones that you would like. If your students would like to answer some of them, that would be great! My students also said that they "miss you" because they know that that is a kind thing to say to someone in a letter. (haha-they made me write that). Something funny that happened.Nicolas told me the other day that God was so big that He could eat His lunch in one bite. We colored Flat Stanley and made some clothes of our own. They should be in Kentucky on March 31st. I will talk to Mrs. Martin about this. Also, we bought some postcards from Brasilia. Stanley will be bringing those to you.
Your Friends,
Caleb, Nana, Thales, James, Nicolas, and Ms. Bolin

I will answer you as soon as I get finished with a SS lesson plan, math critique, and studying for BIO. soon, i promise...

with pictures!

one more, i know its three but i'm waiting around in the library

i have to watch Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" in the next two weeks for a conservation assignment.

here's an inconvenient truth, its freaking freezing here Al. FREEZING! Global warming needs closure.

ok, no more for tonight...

addendum

all righty, that was a little negative so I'm going to lighten this up immediately with some good news. i found out I got one of two teacher's scholarships and will be getting my little bit of money on the 21st for my student teaching semester. that's awesome. and God is in control. which makes me know the only real thing i need is Him.

and that helps closure.

Time keeps on tickin', tickin', tickin', into the future...

i hate being so busy that i cannot do the things that i like to do. like nothing. i'm pretty much the best at nothing as anybody doing nothing can be. i've talked to julie and ginger in 15 min. segments that only lead to open ended questions about our lives and for people who need closure,this, my friends is no good. speaking of needing closure, (i'm thiking this is a fallacy made up in the minds of psychologists that need work) if this semester doesn't end soon it will kill me. here's what i keep telling jeanne when we run, "why am i doing this, there are no jobs, and i'm old and in college. doing this with the anticipation of no work is very demotivating. oh, go do something fun, no, i can't I have a dramatic presentation of the life of Fredric Douglass to complete after I get off of star bucks at midnight" did i say there are no jobs here?

closure: to finish a bachelor's (for no job) only to be told you're not really certified until you finish your masters. Sighhhhh. really.

really. amanda, i'm flying myself to Brazil to work. maybe that will bring closure to my life...
