Cell Phones.

My cell phone stopped working about a week and a half ago. On one hand, I like having a cell phone. It keeps me more in the loop. On the other hand, sometimes I feel a little too easily accessible. I mean what if I want to take a nap? People can be so offended when you turn of your phone, as though it is a personal insult- like you just don't care if they call you or not. Really, all you want is some nice midday uninterrupted sleep. Also, I was receiving mutiple text messages each day from Movistar (the cell phone co.) about specials and deals. I once recieved 7 messages from Movistar in one day. I started feeling like the only reason I had a cell phone was to get crap messages from that crap company. v v obnoxious. If I get a cell phone again, I will def not be using Movistar. The desperation is really unattractive.

3 teachers have already left the school. Strange that I haven't yet been at the school 2 years, and I am the teacher who has been here 4th longest (and the others are married to Mexicans). That being said, I think my time here is about up. I mean really, the cell phone I bought when I first moved here just wore out. It's almost 2 years old. Time to moooove on.

***Note:From the photo, it may actually appear that the phone did not just "wear out" as aforementioned. It looks as though it may have been damaged. The reason being that when I realized it was dead and not to be brought back to life...I took the opportunity to throw the phone against the cement wall of my bedroom. Not out of anger, just felt like doing it. Therapy.

Mac n' Cheese

So for some reason, Mexico likes to sell certain foods, and then decide to stop. For example, the awesome tomato soup that I was addicted to for a while. Now I had to go back to the Campbell's and it is crap. More recently, however, they stopped selling Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. What did Kraft ever do to you, Mexico? What the heck, this is the one thing from the states that makes me feel better after a bad day (or a loooong night). BUT alas! I have discovered a new and IMPROVED mac n' cheese! It's made with REAL CHEDDAR CHEESE...in powder form....? They better not stop selling this one......and yes, it IS a great value.

Ay niños….

So I have some pretty funny (and strange students). Recently, the students had a vocablary quiz. It was a fill in the blank quiz with a word bank, including words like "guess, estimate, increase, decrease etc". One of the questions was 1) Sometimes I ______________when I don't know the answer on a test.


obviously the answer would be "guess". But one of my students wrote- "cheat". It wasn't even a vocabulary word! It wasn't in the word bank! But hey, at least he's honest. And he spelled it right. I mean, I was impressed he knew the word "cheat".

Most of my students just say "Miiiiiiiss he are doing tramp" (Trampas being cheating). Although I must say, I do find it interesting that he wrote cheat but obviously was not cheating at that moment since no one else in the class wrote cheat......strange. Not a v. good cheater. Of course he got a point for that question. Too bad that was one of the only. Again, not a very good cheater.


This picture is my favorite food chain drawn by a student. So awesome. Could be in a disney movie. Just look at that squirrel! Artistic genius...eat that dreamworks. Booya.

Aw hells yeah them papparazzi be tryin to get at me....

That's right....I am now a small town celebridad. That's me and Marlies at a party. There were like 20 people in someone's backyard. Clearly a newsworthy event. Clearly. If you want my autograph, best stand in line. I'm about as famous as this other girl in the newspaper who made the news because she eats corn. I hope I don't start to get a big head. It don't matter how many rocks that I got.
