And the winner is....and then you can throw me off your Blog

How far will you have to read to figure out my identity? I am 5'4'' tall, recent owner of an adorable blind 17 year old Jack Russell mix terrier who had to be euthanized this July .:-( I'm sneaky and love to make the Elders think and say hmmmmmm. Especially Kahn. I do not wish to intrude in your personal blog, so I won't make any more posts. Thank you for honoring me with the name of the Blog. You didn't have to do that. And if you all wish to change the name in times to come, I won't be offended. You are all very, very special to me, and those who haven't posted from that group as well. Thank you Emily and Rick for MOST of your comments. Rick I really, really appreciated your offer to help me figure out this Blog thing. (I still need to learn how to post a picture.) And I am going to start a Blog for those who want to write about their pets, in honor of my dog Borky. And thank you to those who sang me happy birthday in August. Sincerely, the One who loves red obsidian, geodes, and old songs because I am old. Ha Ha.

Rita secret is yet to unveiled

Atleast who ever the hell rita is they he she whoever doesnt post often enouph. But RTIA is not maria geeze. Its prolly kahn we should vote if rita isnt unveiled to get rid of this rita.

Christ

My sister has created "Ms. Marin's Science Blog".

I haven't been able to see it, because I don't know the URL. I only know that because I walked into the room and she minimized it, and that's what I saw.

Uncreative, copying cow.

wow

and ppl thought i was random

hi,

i still think rita is mrs soto. i had practice 2day, didnt think it was possibly 2 kill my ankle on friday and pull a muscle on saturday. how fun. now im doing hw. seing as u all noe who this is, and im 2 lazy 2 change my profile, deal w/ it. im gonna go put ice on my ankle now.

Look kahneo

I had to wake up early to go to baseball practice you pleased now i dont feel like guessing who rita is so you should just tell us who it is!

God, Rick

You get up BEFORE SEVEN on a SATURDAY????? What time do you go to bed? Do you have a computer in your room? Or are you out in the family room, on the computer at the crack of dawn?

Anyway, take a guess on who Rita is. I'm quite sure you'll get it. And I would NEVER invite anyone who doesn't have something to do with Soto's Earth Science, I'll give you that much.

Cheers now.

I'm off to post about my dream on me other blog.

Another post from riggy!

Ok now let me start this off i do not read kahneos blogeo. Now this wouldnt have started if you would have just said i am inviting a new member to our blog named rita who is so and so instead of being your obnoxios self and saying i will not tell. Also rita if this is his her or its real name isnt any body from the new Ms.Martizes class and even less from ms.soto earth science class so i do not see a reason why somebody should join if they have no relation to our class. Now why would "littlerita" want to disguise his/her/its self why would you be hiding everyone else in out blog has been willingly able enter as there actual name without a problem. Then i havent even seen a post of introduction his/her/its first post was

Ta da!: Nice group you have here.

Usually when you enter a blog you at least say who you are! So you may be getting pissed off kahneo but me and maria are getting aggravated aswell that this rita is oblivious to the fact that we keep asking who she is and she just with responds with to much home work for the weekend? So RITA READ THIS AND READ IT CLEARELY CAN YOU PLEASE PLEASE TELL US WHO YOU ARE AND SAY WHAT RELATION YOU HAVE TO KAHN THE BIO CLASS IF ANY AND EVEN IF YOU GO TO CARVER!

this site rocks my socks

http://thesurrealist.co.uk/disease.cgi?

I did everyone in our science class. Here are a few inspiring ones:

Good lord! You are suffering from Caitlinitis.
Cause: bad noodles
Symptoms: sudden terror, flacidity, mildly blue spots, neck shortening
Cure: fresh air

Bad luck! You are suffering from Carolina's Disorder.
Cause: improperly prepared celery
Symptoms: second-degree burns, steam whistling from ears, clicking sounds, extremely swollen appendix
Cure: take three anti-depressants every day for the rest of your life

Textbook example. You are suffering from Patricia's Syndrome.
Cause: the wrong type of snow
Symptoms: squawking, extreme jaw dislocation, sudden rashes, sudden thirst for human blood
Cure: don't do it again

Et cetera.

You know what?

I have had it up to HERE with Rick and Maria. However sneaky you were, Maria, in changing your username and nickname (as administrator, I can see that), it is quite obvious that the name "Maria" is missing from both the list of contributors and my list of members. And even if it WERE possible for Rick to bring "Camila Martinez" to the blog, which it is not, as he is not an administrator, I would: (A) be informed of the new member; and (B) informed that Maria has quit, which is not in fact the case, by email. And all this is really pissing me off, and so I am even less likely to tell you the identity of Littlerita. I'll let her tell you. And, although this whole secret-keeping started as a joke, I am really naarked about how immature and obnoxious you are being, just to satisfy your own curiosity. I think you must have OCD or something.

And one more thing Rick: do you still read my blog?

Let me introduce

CHUMI! My good friend here has joined the blog along with rita!

im chumi

hi im chumi, rick got me here, how fun.

yes it would be

so i suggest u tell me who rita is

Well well well

My dear Riggy Riggofski Riggoferous Riggson.
It appears that your choice weapon has been stolen. Terribly sorry, mate.

So, Littlerita. Shall we reveal your identity? It's your call. I must say I have done a splendid job of keeping your secret, despite numerous threats from whom this post is addressed to. Wow, that was a hell of a bad sentence. Anyway, I hope to reveal you before the weekend is out, because I do believe that Rick's curiosity is such that it is unhealthy, and that he will take a cricket bat to me in an madly obsessed rage, which will be most unhealthy to me.

if u were observant

You would know who chumi is and its not me i know who it is so chumi you keep ur identy a secret until kahn reveals little rita!

HEY!

Who in the fuck is "chumi"???? It is you, Rick, and I swear to Bob I will remove you from this blog if you don't get rid of your friend "chumi".

Riggy posteo numero 3!

Hmph call me an arse an ass but im gonna get answers one way or another kahn if that means a continuation of screwing with the blog or facing you with a bat in my hands one way or another RITA! will be discovered!

Rick

You are an arse

more work than I can get done by Monday, good bye weekend

Will have to sleep less in order to do all the homework. Take me back to the good old days of preschool! sandbox, snack, nap on a blankie...

im thinking...

maybe rita is mrs soto, undercover, or it could just be anyone else tryin 2 provoke conversation. hmm... rick, if u think we hav 2 much hw now, wait till next year, aint i the optomistic 1? = D watchin charmed, must go

Riggy loves to be the first post of the day!

Hmm mayb "rita" is YOU kahn with a different screen name trying to confuse and disorient us the bloggers. I dont know why i woke up so early i have to be up like 7:15 but im up at 6:45 im excited for some reason i cant recall that either. Theres way too much damn homework this year wait let me say that again the i want it to be read... THERES WAY TO MUCH FREEKING HOMEWORK THIS YEAR!!! yes every one has heard. Hmmm anything else to say this early on this day the ninth day of school. No i think riggy must now go do something else. I love pe first period gets me excited about the first 45 minutes of my school day then it all goes downhill from there.

Hmm

I am in a very capricious mood. I think I'll wear a skirt tomorrow! Yippeee!!!!

I'll never tellllllll

I am under the impression that Littlerita has concocted this moniker in order to remain annonymous. But think about it. Who would join? I'm sure you'll figure it out. In fact, I don't know whether or not I regret inviting Littlerita (what's with that name, anyway?). It's going to change the whole tone of the blog. Maybe. Oh well. It will get to a point when we don't give 3 flying monkey turds (my, am I creative tonight--that's almost as good as calling Rick an horse's uterus) about who reads it. Anyway, I suggest that whenever we make a post of substance, not just a one-liner, we stick to a standard. We type whatever we want, and then, at the beginning or end, we do something like:

homework? just finished.
wearing? my pjs: my DARE shirt and blue fleecy sweats.
hair? same style as school, only now wet and chloriney.
what did you do today? school, homework, read newspaper, Internetted, and went swimming. (We're going to resurface the pool, so we're emptying it. I swam in an almost half-empty pool. It was neat. I could stand everywhere, and our pool gets to 8 feet.)

You are welcome to edit it. Or even nix it. It's just an idear.

i have joined maria

in the world of the lost and yes WOOHOO WE HAVE REACHED 500 Rita show ur identity.

lost...again...

who' r u rita? hey! we reached 500

??????

more ?????????????????????????????? i need to know who the new member of the blog is

may i politely ask

Who is Littlerita?

ta dah!

Nice page you have here...

ta da!!

Nice group you have here.

eh ya

Well for my name is short nad i got riggy and trout and all sorts of crap but maria theres nothin to nick it with so just stay maria maria and being goody goody i meant to u were like that really young then u slowly get worst as u get older now i must go read ch.2

....

nah, i wouldnt mind a nickname its just that my names so short, havin a nickname is sorta pointless. and just 4 the sake of argument, i never wanted 2 be a good-goody EVER. sry, just not in my blood, my parents were trouble maker along w/ the rest of the family. now they're still pretty much the same.

This blog:

Me posts.
Me reads.
Me smiles.

Dude, this article is awesome!!!! John Lennon Converse!!!! Me needs. Me gets. Me smiles.
Y'know, in History today, I pissed off Ms Sanchez. This is how it went:

Ms Sanchez: The Inuits eat only fish and meat blahblahblah....fish and bears and seals and walruses--
Me (interrupting):
WALRUSES??!!!!??!!?
Ms Sanchez: Ye-es. Walruses.
Me: But John
Lennon was the walrus! They can't eat walruses.
Some student: John who?
Me (thinking she didn't hear): John Lennon.
Same bloody student: Who's he?
Me (shocked, appalled, incredulous): WHO'S JOHN LENNON????????!!!!!@@!!!!!!!!!?
Ms Sanchez: OK, we are NOT getting into this...
Me: Hmph.

Anyway, here's the article (PLEASE read it):

Beatles fans will soon be able to buy their very own John Lennon sneakers,
after Yoko Ono agreed a deal with Nike to produce trainers featuring her late
husband's image.

The shoe, which is being manufactured by Nike's subsidiary Converse, is in the same style as those worn by Lennon on the cover of the Abbey Road EP. It features a self-portrait of the legendary musician on the side and the words "Imagine All The People Living Life In Peace" emblazoned across the toe.

A percentage of the profits generated by the runners will go to non-profit organisations working to promote world peace. And Converse has promised to issue a new design every year until that noble aim has been achieved.

The "Peace Chuck" is just one of around 400 different takes on the classic Chuck Taylor runner
produced by Converse each year. And the simple basketball shoe, which has been around since 1923, is still winning plenty of celebrity fans.

"Chuck Taylors are going to be around forever," said Will Smith recently.
"The Egyptian Empire left the Pyramids, the Roman Empire left the Colosseum. I think when America is gone 500, 800 years from now, Chuck Taylors will still be around.

Well sounds good

Let me start off this post with something.
THANK GOD SOMEBODY POSTED I ALMOST FELT I WAS TALKING TO MYSELF!!!!!
So i will respect your want to be "maria" so i guess you will remain with your original name. Also i do think as you get older you behave worst. Like when your in first grade you want to be a goody goody little boy then as you get older you get bored of the fact of going to school so you can start getting away with sh** (censored for ms.sotos reading of "the blog") stuff. Ya mayb ms.Martinez is used to little kids shes not used to the group or 8th graders. Todays bio class wass good we had poisonous acids oooo and barf smelling juices. MMMM now thats the stuff. OO were almost at post 500!!!! Woot this blog has really been useful since the middle of 7th through suymmer and now 8th lets keep this thing going im going to start to do a count down to 500.

plain ol' maria

i've never had a nickname, excpet 4 family, which i preffer not to discuss here. look, im posting. i dont mind mrs rios, i preffer 2 figure things out on my own, i do however agree that the whole count 2 4 thing lose a point is childish, but give her sum time, she is used 2 6th graders, though i doubt they appreciate being treated like kindergartners. though 4 sum odd reason, i think they are better behave than we are. hey but i read sumwhere that the smarter u are the more diorganized and loud u tend 2 be, hmmm should tell my mother that when told 2 clean my room.

HMMMM

NAMES WELL LETS ILLUSTRATE WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY!
Emily: The kahn, emily, 7th grade name: thing with suspenders
Rick: Riggy Riggy ,Rick , The tout, Tunamelt
Erik: Ernie
Allison: Alvin,Alvinator
Maria: Hmm doesnt have one yet mayb the one who was lost na to long
Margaret: Caitlin, Margerin (butter)
Gio: ?
Emily n: Uhm another i dont know pig nose =D
So we are missing an official name for Maria,Gio and Emily n.
Damn come post people go ONLINE!

YEAH!!!!!!

RIGHT ON, TUNAMELT!!!!!! WE NEED OUR POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where IS everybody today, anyway?

Rick. YOU ask Francisco and Mark tomorrow. Since you are male, they'll probably be able to explain it to you quicker, easier, and more painlessly.

Mmmm. My mom dug up some old Girl Scout Cookies (Thin mints), and I've been grazing on them. There. I've just had 140 calories. 4 cookies. Sad, eh?

So. What's going on? Mrs Rios is a cow. Waaaaayyy too much homework. I almost prefer dear old Szmuly in that at least she EXPLAINED things. This cow just defines the terms, but doesn't exemplify the problems. Hmph. Mrs Martinez is OK too, but I think the whole "count-to-four-then-you-lose-a-point" is totally pathetic and first grade. Although playing with the droppers and acids and bases was fun.

No one's said about the whole names thing, which I am really curious about. I suppose that question is really directed towards Rick and Erik and Maria, because I know the Usual Suspects. Or at least Caitlin. Alvin and Emilyn tend to go silent whenever things like this are discussed.

C'mon fellow bloggers

We need to have our daily serving of POST!

The early Riggy post!

Ok i have had permission by Francisco to call him "Franki" he doesnt seem to care because i have called himm that in the halls and he doesnt lash out and say my name is francisco not "FRANKI!".Ok let me see the blog on further things to respond to...
Oh yes you should ask "franki" in geo on thursday to see what he meant by the now famous-in-the-blog "warm fuzzy feeling".Oh and on my title Alvin its not riCKy its riGGy so no further changes to my second name! =)

AWWWWW!!!!!!

MORE warmth and fuzzies. I don't know why. We're so comfortable with each other. I LOVE you guys.

It's OK, Rick. No need to panic. Or look within oneself. I am the one to be fed to a polar bear. Why? I do not know. Let's find out.
Em? Why am I to be personally fed to a polar bear? The Laurent thing?

And Rick. FRANKI???? That's terrible. That's like butchering the poor chap's name. But what DID they take it as? I dunno...orgasm or something? Man, this is hard to write knowing Soto is to read it. Oh well. Shhe taught it to us. I don't care any more. I want a peach.

Further, Rick, it was not YOU wearing your hair in a bun, so I don't very well expect you to remember. But us girla take notice of these things. How should I wear my hair tomorrow? I'm leaning toward my two Princess Leia buns. I LOVE the name Leia. If I had a daughter, I would name her that. And a son would be James. What about you lot?

Erik/Ermie, and Alvin-Caity-Giode: S&D is more work than expected, no?

Cheers, you lot!

Reasons not to miss bio on monday

1.We cooked sand! Oh how fun to watch liquid rise.

2. We saw oil and water seperate and how much oile and water weighed in a CUP!

So yes you dont ever want to miss the great fun from bio!

lost...

note 2 self, never miss bio again. and now i remember the bun. warm fuzzy feeling, cant think of another meaning or how some idiots found another definititon for it. well g2 finish the torture, i mean hw

Welleo

"looks within" Why must i be eaten by a polar bear?WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG!

yupeo

Hmm i dont exactly remember the bun? But the "warm fuzzy feeling" that was funny. I saw it on the blog and copied and pasted it to emily n, as i thought she was that posted it the blog but i guess i was wrong. I heard her say the "warm fuzzy feeling" and mark uhm and franki I guess they thought of it sumthing else. So i guess ill see all of you tomorow!

Attention, people in the know!

I was talking to Emilyn today in Geometry, and she mentioned my warm-and-fuzzy post. Francisco and Mark overheard, and they seemed really disgusted by the term. Will somebody in the know please explain: is that another term for something else that I am not aware of.

Maria, I think it was Thursday in Bio. It was a loose bun and at the nape of your neck and it seemed kind of hurried. It looked really nice, you really should wear it like that more often. And I didn't see whether it was held be a pen(cil) or a scrunchie.

Oh, does everybody know Laurent? Of course. He's in our class. Well, the Alvinator, Caitlin-hear- me-roar, Gio-I-won't-get-involved, Krista, and Emily-I hate-homework, and myself were sitting at lunch, and Laurent happened to be next to us, sitting with some males. We start an avid discussion about condoms and menstruation and all sorts of other stuff, and poor old Laurent won't be sitting near us anymore. SORRY DUDE.

Hmm. It is so much harder to post now that Mrs Soto reads it.

wow ur...

random, and i dont remember having a bun at skool

I had a thought...

It would be really hard to teach....err....you know...human growth and development if you were pregnant.

Awwwww

I just got a big warm and fuzzy feeling. I don't know why.

My iPod came back today. Hooray.

And Maria, you should wear your hair in a bun more often. It looks really pretty.

eh....

Well i keep my opinion on elders but i do agree you can let any ANYBODY ON EXCEPT JUSTINA HANS YES SO this blog is open to anybody but the annoyance!

hmmm

i missed class today, had a docs appointment, anyways, "neato" interesting choice of words, happy belated birthday mrs soto. elders, interesting idea, i however will stay neutral, very touching emily. i dont mind omar joining, however i do not know how he will fit in considering he didi not hav mrs soto for earth science, and justin, i whole heartedly oppose the idea, i cannot tolerate him. plz refrain from telling him about the blog. must do hw (no matter how painful) and i just noticed, where is allison?

I'm going to bed.

Wee Willy Winky runs through the town
Upstairs, downstairs, in his nightgown
Rapping at the windows
Crying at the locks
"Are all the babies in their beds, for now tis eight 'o clock!"

Or something like that.
I'm guessing everybody is already in bed--except Giovanna, who never goes to bed.
I just watched a little bit of "Pay it Forward" on TV.
I've read the book a billion times--I love it, but it took only about 8 minutes to see how badly they've butchered it. Reuben isn't black, or even scarred enough. Further, Reuben isn't even Reuben, he's Eugene. Egads. Trevor looks about 7 years old, though he's supposed to be twelve. Whatever.
I turned it off right after Eugene and Arlene (Gawd. Eugene and Arlene) have a sleepover and Trevor is really pleased.

I went to Lan for dinner. I think I'll have a McVittie, a cup of milk, and go to bed.

Yes, that sounds like a nice plan.

Goodnight.
P.S. I'm wearing a neato black shirt and jeans.

i am now known as the trout

and so is emily the kahn

I'm with Gio

What are we thinking? The elders idea is so...frigid. Anybody who others to read about an issue should be able to vote. And yes, anybody can join if they ask to. I'm not going to go out and mail invitations, but yes. I love this blog. It's made us better friends, I think. Well, the only three who weren't already my best friends were "the Trout", Eric/Ernie, and Maria. But they count as good friends too.

Anyway, you HAVE TO go to this site. It's amazing. It made me cry. It shows the sick humor of Republicans. This guy is f'ing amazing with words.

AYEO!

AYEO!

This is it, folks

Soto wants to join the blog. Let's see if it will really happen.

Does anybody know what I did with the nail clippers?

All with too much homework say aye:

AYE!!!!!!

Revised list of "elders"

The list..."the kahn",alvin,gio,caitlin,erik,emily n,maria,me. i think this list is complete tell me if im wrong and i will make yet a third list of elders!

Erik--ERNIE--, be nice

I agree with you about Justin. I feel bad for the dude, but I simply cannot bring myself to be his buddy or anything. As to Omar, I don't know him, but he seems OK.

The rest of the rules are all good and approved, but Rick, I think Gio (who dug us out of our technical problems), Caitlin--the cow who pulled me and Allison out of bed, and took our covers-- and the great Alvinator should be part of the "Elders" too. The only ones who aren't allowed are Caprice and Agui (who joined but haven't posted a word in their miserable lives), and Isabela, who's posted I think 3 times only.

So. Mrs Soto. You are today's monkey king, and in your honor all shall sing:

HAPPEEE BIIIIRRTHDDAAAAAYYY TOOOO YOOOOUUUU
HAPPEEE BIIIIRRTHDDAAAAAYYY TOOOO YOOOOUUUU
HAPPEEE BIIIIRRTHDDAAAAAYYY DEEAAARRR MRS SOOOOTTTTOOOOO
HAPPEEE BIIIIRRTHDDAAAAAYYY TOOOO YOOOOUUUU!!!!!!

Oooooorrrr, we could do the preschool Raffi (is that how you spell it?) version:

Haaappeeeeeeeeee Birthday
Haaappeeeeeeeeee Birthday
Weeeeee loooooove Youuuuuu
Haaappeeeeeeeeee Birthday
And may all your dreeammms coommmeee truuue

When youuuu bloow ouuut your caaaaandles
One light stays aglooooowwww
It's the love lighting your life wherever you may gooooooo.


You lot are lucky I don't have sound recording equipment like Alvin does, or I'd fix it so my voice would loop over and over whenever you view this page.

Um ok.

Sounds good erik so our elders are the grand creator "the kahn" the other emily you maria and me nobody else has posted recently enouph for me to remember them so these 5 people r the "elder and will vote on all important issues an internet blog can have.

COME ON, PEOPLE

VOTE VOTE VOTE. USUAL SUSPECTS, THIS MEANS YOU.

By the way people, Mrs Soto has begun to read the blog. Just to let you know. She also suggested a name: "Fast Track". She says this way nobody's name is used, and it is fair to everybody.

I still say we stick to Soto.

I'm going to change the subtitle to say we are now 8th graders.

Indeed

Mrs Soto really was something special. She was an eccentric--HEY LOOK THE METRO!!!--sorry. I'm used to saying "look, train!" whenever the metro comes by because my babies would always do that.

But Soto really was an eccentric old nutcase who just loved what she taught. There was a fat load of work, but God...I went to visit today, and I'd give anything to be back in that classroom. There is something fabulous about that room. The atmosphere, the jam-packed crammed look of it. Just stuffed full of anything to do with science. She reminds me of Ms Frizzle.

So, even though the official voting time was this weekend, I also vote to keep it. Maybe I'll add something to the subtitle, but yes. Soto is so barmy, so batty, so unabashedly enthusiastic...

i agree

we should keep the title the same for the same reasons as Maria so 2 votes for sotoblog to stay

title

i vote that we stay w/ the current title. mrs. soto was sumthing special. besides we wouldnt hav ended up in biology w/out getting through her class 1st.

(no title)

Well i have nothing to add on changing the title but i do have to add that i have had my science class as 5th period the whole time ive been at carver. what else oh ya well seee how biology is today.

'Ere we go, 'ere we go, 'ere we go...

In under twelve hours, we will be back in school. In a few hours more, we shall be in our new Biology class.
Anyone realize that Earth Science and now Bio are both 5th period?

IDEA: OK, how's about we give it until Friday afternoon, or the weekend, to make the final descision on whether or not to change our name to "Mrs Martinez's Biology Class Blog" or not. Egads, I sound like a cheesy remake of "Survivor" or something. That will give us two classes, plus time to think. I personally think that the Bio title doesn't sound as good as the Earth Science. We'll vote any time between 3:45 Friday afternoon and 11:59 Sunday night. I'll also be taking suggestions on entirely separate names, and we'll add those to our ballot. If you have an idea, post it before 3:45 Friday.

Well...here we go...

My summer firsts

Well. Over the summer, I:

1. had my first real job outside of my parents' law firm, at a preschool, with the 2-year-olds.
2. changed my first diaper...and several after that (thankfully none with brown stuff...I left that to the adults)
3. fell in love with 14 two-year-olds...some more than others
4. rekindled a love for animal crackers and Gummi Bears...to the expense of my belly and thighs
5. relearned that all you need to have a really great time is your lungs...and sometimes somebody else's hands
6. saw a two-year-old wearing a Burburry bathing suit, and another one in Air Jordans (they're twins...and their parents own Sandals...yeah...those resorts)
7. had a kid come running into my arms sobbing...on more than one occassion
8. had a kid suck her thumb in my lap as she burried her head in my chest and cried
9. learned that there is nothing that hugs and a popsicle can't cure
10. handled my first medical emergency...sort of...that I dealt with all by myself. See, Jonathan had fallen off the slide, and busted his lip open. He starts howling, and I sprint over to the other side of the playground to see blood gushing from his mouth. After several paper towels, a popsicle, and a lot of snuggling, he was fine.
11. layed down on the floor only to be covered in, sat on, and layed upon, by about six two-year-olds all clamoring to play.
12. learned that one of my kids spent a weekend asking her mother repeatedly to go to "Emily camp".
13. observed two-year-old girls in bikinis, their little tummies poking out, their soaking diapers about to explode, flopping repeatedly into a plastic pool, crowing with delight, and realized, that this is humanity at its purest, most innocent, most unselfconscious, beautiful sweetness.
14. got such overwhelming waves of warm fuzzy feeling that I almost just cried.
15. decided that this would be one of the greatest jobs in the universe.

Wow. Pretty soppy, eh? But pretty great.

Oh yeah, one more: watched Josh do his happy dance (bend knees up and down, stomp feet, shake arms, open and close fists, and crow/jabble) as he holds a bag that his mother handed to him to give to me. He was very pleased with himself for giving it to me. It was my last-day present from them. A makeup case filled with Hershey's kisses. I like the filling better than the outside.

Interesting, though.
Allison works the 3's for 2 weeks, and gets a $10 certificate from her counselors. I work the 2's for 6 weeks, and get nothing from my conselors. I got that from Josh and Co cos I had mentioned that it was going to be my last day. But I'm not complaining. I LOVED working with my babies. I swear I'll incorporate them into every speech topic in S&D...

One more Josh memory. Sometimes he needs help eating lunch, because he is a lot slower developed than the others, though just as sweet.
He asks "Baba?" (Baba is his term for bottle. He is the only one who still uses them, because is is so much slower developed)
I tell him no, eat your cheese first.
So he tries again, thinking I don't get it.
"Bottle?"
I tell him no Josh, eat some berries.
He must be thinking Man, this girl is stupid as anything. So he tries once more. This is his piece de renessaince, a word that he learned to use only two days before...
"Milk?"

It was just SO FUNNY. You had to know him to have the full effect... But these kids all had defined pesonalities and favorite counselors. I am proud to say that I was Sophia's, Maia's, Josh's, Sarah's, and Jonathan's favorite.

OK, this is getting long, I wanna do some homework (THANKS MRS RIOS AND MRS ROBLEDO) and go to BED!

nuthin betta 2 do...

noi believe i hav hw. dont feel like doing it. i detest history. mr redmond is kool. dont noe wat i hav 2morrow but i rly wish we had mrs. vazquez 4 biology instead of martinez. i should go now gotta finish that shit b4 my mother gets home.

Homeroom

I'm in 104. I think that's the old computer lab. Gio's in 106. The Alvinator and Caitlin are together in 302, and Emilyn is in 203. Sorry if you lot didn't want that published. HAHA! Erik! I think you and I have a chance of NOT being in 6/8 of the same classes...
