twinkies

once upon a time, i promised nicki i would keep blogging over the summer if she did.
she's doing better than i am for sure.

news:
my classroom is slowly starting to look like, well...a classroom.
i snuck into the school today after being informed that it would be just fine and nothing would go wrong. haha. never heard that one before. inevitably, the alarm went off and i frantically called my principal to give me a code. then i laughed at the thought of me being pinned to the ground and all these cops showing up. it seems funny in my mind, probably wouldn't be in real life. i snuck into my classroom, even though there was a big sign notifying me of the wet wax in the hallway right outside my door. forget that, i got stuffs to do!

i finished reading The Picture of Dorian Gray a while ago. read it, it's amazing.

i have become more aware of the proper way to ride a bike, not because i've been doing it, but mostly because i have been observing and taking mental notes. some people really struggle...

lately, a lot of skunks have been dying right outside my window. not very pleasant in the morning.

i've decided that i never want to change my last name. it's just too darn amazing. future husband...sorry.

a news report had me questioning human sanity. i was waiting at the doctor's office for my mom and watching the news with joseph. it was a report about some man driving around in a big hostess truck. he stops in front of a cheering crowd (30 people give or take) and starts throwing twinkies at them while they jump up and down and scream. joseph and i were so confused. so i assured him that people here are crazy and that what we just witnessed was the perfect example.

tonight we celebrated utah day with some delicious food and fireworks. we got together with a family in the ward and i was privileged to light all the fireworks with some of the kids.
boy: "amandine, will you hold these matches. i mean, maybe not, you're so hot the box might catch on fire."
too bad he's only 16.

i also got my first mosquito bite of the summer.

i'll post some pictures soon, i'm too tired to get that done right now.
