Mr Rat's Brother, Sohkehs Rock, Ocean View, Address
Well, the first week went ok. But I can tell my students may prove to be a challenge now and then. I'm considered one of the "strict" teachers. But I don't let it get to me. Cause my sister warned me many times to be firm. And Mr. B backs me up 100%. I have some trouble makers. Most of them are in the 8th grade. They're a handful. And I'm their sponsor. :) So that should be interesting. I'm also teaching 7th grade, which is the class that Katie Craig had when she was here. People will ask me if I'm lindsey's sister. I'll say yes. They're say, "She has a really nice voice." I smile and says, yes she does.
Well, Mr. Rat #1 died. But his brother is still hanging around. I'm wondering how many more there are. Mr. Rat's brother isn't as much of a pest. But I'm a little mad at one of them...cause they nibbled on my camera case. Oh well. I knew all my belongings would be in peril here.
I'm loving it here! Last Sabbath we went on a hike to a waterfall. I think I told you about that. Yesterday we went to Sohkehs Rock. It was a huge climb, but it was fun. We were all sweaty and tired by the end of that. When we returned the SM's went to play basketball and volleyball at the gym with the youth of the church. That was fun.
Oh, we had a potluck with the SM's yesterday. It was pretty good. We all brought different foods. I made some pinto beans and tiffany baked some banana bread and some whole wheat cinnamon bread. It was good. We have been in the kitchen a lot. Erin Acosta, one of my housemates, is the queen of tortilla making! They are so yummy! I was so scared I would have to go without mexican food this year. But we had it for 3 meals last week...and we had breakfast burritos. Yummy!
Last week I went to Ocean View. It's a hotel that has a restaurant in it. I was talked into getting a fish burger. I tried a few bites, but was dissapointed. It just tasted like grease to me. So I still haven't been converted to fish eating. Give me a few more months. We'll see. Still seems fishy to me.
Well, we cleaned out the apartment today and helped pick up trash around the school. The kids trash it a lot. Well, sorry this is short, but I have some stuff to do. I stay really busy trying to keep up with grading and preparing my lessons. Thank you to all my teachers who worked so hard for me to get a good education. You are are saints. God bless you all.
Take care,

Some people have asked what we could use here. So here's the list:
long shorts (prefer mens basketball shorts)
Things that we can get here, but are expensive include any shower products or cleaning supplies. So if you want to throw it in, it would be helpful.
Water Socks (womens 6 1/2-7)
Vegefood (any kind...but I love fri chick, vegeburger, and linkets).
Dried Fruit
Canned Fruit and Vege's
Popcorn Kernals
Hope this is helpful to those who asked. Thanks!
