The first day of school: take 2!

So yesterday was my first day of school with the sixth graders. And they are ADORABLE. I just wanna squeeze all their cute little cheeks and give them little kisses! haha. The boys are TINY and all have the cutest smiles! I don't want them to grow up, haha.

Yesterday was such an easy day for me. I had 3 classes and the kids were great in all three. One girl came running up to me in the morning and said, "OMG, ARE YOU MISS SARAH???" and was jumping up and down wildly and I said, "Yes...." and she continued to jump up and down and yelled, "YOU LOVE DR. WHO!???!??!" and I said, "Um... no." And she stopped jumping, got really depressed, and just said, "oh..." and walked away. And I don't even know who she was!?

I had the kids make "Extended Name Tags" yesterday in class and I love them! It's such a great way to learn about them. I also had them take a multiple intelligences test so that I could learn what their strongest ones are... and so that they know what each other's are. They did such a great job on everything and I just hope that they stay this sweet! Today, if we have time, we're going to play Fact Bingo where they have to find certain people wearing certain things and then we'll play Bingo with it. And I've got prizes, baby! I just have to go over all of my rules and procedures with them today. Whoohoo.

So a few nights ago, Sandra did my nails quite beautifully, and last night I already bit one of them off. I went to the gym yesterday afternoon for the first time in about a week and a half, and in the middle of the night, I couldn't take the pain in my legs anymore and had to take some meds. Holy cow, did that workout kick my butt! Then Beth and I went to see "Crazy Stupid Love"... and I'm not gunna lie, I cried. And I'd totally see it again!

In other news, I've almost killed my cat on multiple occasions because he insists on being SO close to me when I walk that I almost step on him. But he's so cute.. I can't be mad at him, haha. He keeps eating the dying plant in my apt, so I think I'm going to have to finally give up and throw it out ;-).

Overall, life in QRO is pretty dang sweet! I love the weather, I LOVE my coworkers, and most of all, I LOVE my kids. I wish I could post some pictures of them! I could just eat them up.... for real.
