Once again I am extremely tired, but I deem it necessary as a devoted blogger to write about my undeniably exciting life...
Well, worked again today and instead of doing math homework or teaching a lesson I came home and talked on the phone. Then there was class in which I was extremely antsy as I blew bubbles with my gum, messed around with my water bottle, repeatedly put my sunglasses on and off and doodled thoughts and pictures all over my notes. Obviously I wasn't bored at all. Not one bit. It still boggles my mind how someone can teach math for three hours straight. And it boggles my mind even more that people can sit there and listen that long. I make it usually an hour and a half and after that I might as well not even be there. My teacher kept talking about the raging bull theroy of algebra, as in the answers aren't as hard as one might think so they zoom right by it. I think it would be better if the theory had something to do with algebra making me a raging bull by the end, especially when he drowns on about functions. And now that phrase is stuck in my head. Raging bull. Ha, I'll show you a raging bull.
On another note, I am really sore from lifting this morning. It's so sad because I did really easy stuff but it's been so long since I've lifted anything but either the watering can, a trash bag or my math book, that I'm hurting. It probably didn't help that I was throwing little kids around in the pool today either.
That's another thing I have realized this summer is that I am starting to love kids. I was dreading having to be around them all summer, but now it's almost as if I want to, I surround myself with them. I love making them laugh, and the things they say crack me up. All the kids in my lesson today agreed that I was the best teacher they had ever had. I was very flattered to recieve such a grand compliment from such wonderful members of society. But really, it's nice. They aren't dramatic, and I'm getting pretty good with the threats these days that they usually think twice before whining.
I was going to write about my weekend, but it sorta makes me sick to think about how much I ate and even more sick to think about how much I drank... So we'll go into that when we make a list later of other things I learned this summer.
Here is a quote that was discussed between friends that may give a little insight to the weekend (their intials will be used for their own protection)
AG: How was the rest of you night?
JD: Well I puked and made out with a Mexican named Sanchez
O man. And the army fatigues was a huge hit. I'm glad everyone was so entertained.
Anyway, It was a really good weekend, despite how it looks. I'm not complaining at all, I mean what more could you ask for, I had food, friends, and a good time all together.
Ok, well I am turning in a role of film, so I will have some more picts soon. I cannot beleive I only have one more week until North Carolina. I can't wait to get out of here and just take a week to relax and have nothing to worry about except my tan and which wave I'm going to catch next. I remember when I got to 50 weeks and lost count. And now it's one. Time sure flies.
Ok, time for bed, goodnight.

Slumberland
Well here are the wonderful new picts from last night. Ha, Kristin left me a comment on my last entry that pretty much described what we learned from that night, but I'll be back later to add more detail. Or maybe not, I don't really know if more detail is necessary. Tonight I was going to sleep at the pool since we had the guard party, but I am WAY too tired to sleep on a lawn chair. I will write more later, and I will have more picts from summer events in the near future. Now I am going to bed... ahhh, finally.

Learn something new everyday
I feel like it's been a long time since I've written anything worth while, so even though it's almost one in the morning, I feel it is my duty to write about my oh so exciting life...
It's been one of those tiring and extremely busy weeks and although I wouldn't have changed one thing about it, I am so ready to lay low. Unfortunately that won't be happening for quite a while. I feel like there are nights where I don't really care if I go out or not, and nights where I do want to go out there is nothing going on. And lately I have just not cared one way or the other, and I find myslef somehow going out every night. It's been fun though, nothing like summer, I can say that much.
Well since I don't really feel like explaining everything that I have done, I am going to make a list of the things I have learned from going out or work... or anything I have done this past week:
1. Even though things don't always work out and you can't meet up with everyone at the Hooka bar sometimes sitting in front of your house talking with an old friend is just as good if not better. Everything happens for a reason.
2. Keep old friends and make new ones, because you never know when they're going to meet, and then everyone can go to a fireworks show together!
3. 7-11 does NOT have marshmellows. I can't even beleive it.
4. Drinking margarittas really fast while watching Fantasia is not as relaxing as it sounds.
5. Kids work best with bribes or threats... I find threats are usually an easier way to handle things.
6. Swimming in foggy pools that makes your skin turn blue is probably not a very good idea... I'm going to stear clear of that one for a while.
7. You don't have to answer every questions you are asked.
8. When your kids in lessons start screaming "OH the horror!" Then you know you might have pushed them a little to hard.
9. When your kids in lessons start calling you miss piggy then you know that something has to be wrong with you.
10. Bike riding always sounds fun, and looks fun...but when you get to the hills you wonder why you wanted to do it so badly.
11. One word: Batman *sigh*
12. Hitting golf balls on the driving range is much harder than it looks...but I still don't think golf is a sport.
13. Being DD is should be considered a form of toture...next to sitting in math class for three hours.
14. Roasting marshmellows and sitting in the hot tub, on the other hand should be considered a form of pure relaxation. Now all we have to do is get a movie going out there and we got it made.
15. Trash juice has to be one of the most unplesant and annoying things ever.
16. When going ice blocking pre cautions should be taken...maybe some padding for the butt.
17. Guard parties should not have to be discused by the board members.
18. Eating half a container of icing in one sitting is not the best idea...and it makes you very thirsty.
19. Hitting people while they are driving is not always the best idea, but if it needs to be done, then it needs to be done.
20. Kids need a good cry before they really understand you are boss.
21. I think talking on the cell phone does cause brain problems, so much that listening math class is just not an option.
22. Sometimes we gave it all we got, and even if it didn't work out, we can look back knowing that there was nothing else that could have been done.
Ok, I am so tired, so I am going to bed. Hope that list provided for valuable learning skills. I know I've sure learned a lot this summer!

USA
Happy Fourth of July! I have to say that this has to be one of my favorite holidays, you can't go wrong with bbqs, swimming fireworks and partying! Gotta love it.
I worked all morning until 3:30, but it was barely like work at all since we were in relays and I was the announcer for part of it. So time went by fast and the only real work I did was backwash and fill the cholrine cylinders right before I clocked out. Then I just swam around and now I have to get ready for tonight. I don't really know what's going on--I just heard there were a few parties going on. But I better see some fireworks tonight, that would be pretty lame if we didn't. I will make sure of it.
Couldn't have asked for better weather today, it has been beautiful! It's going to make me miss summer a lot more. Hard to believe that a year ago I was on the beach in Hawaii. Man how time flies. Well I am going to get ready for the festive night! Happy Birthday USA!
