I like tater-tots

Leave it to Katie to make a fashionable late entrance. So good to hear from you it has been too fricken long. I was walking down the street last weekend listening to my i-pod and Lauren Hill's version of killing me softly came on and I tear came to the corner of my eye. I keep have those moments while I'm away. Do you guys ever have those where something reminds you of someone and for that moment you miss them really intensly and then it goes away. i have to say on the whole I've been so busy that I haven't had too much time to be very homesick, and lately going home has started to mean facing the reality of my future so I've been dreading it, but those moments happen often, especially when I haven't talked with some of you in months. Anyway enough schmaltz. I just have to say that when I read Anna's last post she said and I quote "I told marit but em, I regret to inform you that Joe and I-" and then it continued on to the next line but for a split second before I read the next line I thought she was going to say split up. Because on the line before you talked about being really bad off, with school and work and not enough water :) So while I'm really dissapointed we won't have a our european adventure I am relieved you and Joe are still together. I confident that we will make to europe together, I can picture you and me in Italy when we're old women feeding the cats in Rome and checking out the hot Italian boys while we eat a lot of Gelatto -becuase at that point we'll be so old that we won't care about our figures then.
So the news for me, I've felt ultra mega busy lately kinda like I'm back at school doing the 21 credit three job thing. Can't wait to be done teaching - 2 more weeks after this week. So, I have spent the whole of this week doing the school play, Medea, a greek tradgedy, but the really tradgedy has been the fricken red back drop that has been the bane of my exsistance for the last couple days, first a I had to drag a czech student around with me to go to fabric stores to get the amount of fabric I needed (I don't know if Katie feels this way but I am excited to be around english speakers again for a while, sometimes the simplist thing, like wieghing banans at the grocery store becomes an ordeal with the language barrier)Anyway, the performance is tomarrow and the backdrop is being hung in the gym while I type this. I have to try to buy some fake blood tonight, for the mass slaughter of the year two's tomarrow. It's been fun, the kids are so cute in their little white togas.
~changing subjects: Yesterday I had to give my favorite student, Tung, detention becasue he didn't do his homework for me. That was hard, he's such a sweetie. He gave me a rose for international womens week.
Hmmm what else... Last weekend we had a surprise party for my cooperating teacher.Than he and I went dancing at a gay club and when I was leaving someone definitely grabbed my ass. Is that an insult or a compliment at a gay club? Yikes, this is going to be a hurried post because I need to get going. I'll write some more when life slows down a little. -Hey Kirks coming to see me tomarrow, he'll be here for a week, really looking forward to that, he's one of those Duluthians i really miss. Ok gots to go. -Anna I'm going to try to call you this weekend. I want to hear how you are. -Katie go on your hot mexican date, and where lots of red. Marit make oatmeal raisen cookies and watch ,movie this weekend. this is my parting advice to you all. Miss you more than words can say. Em
