So, I now have 2 followers...wow this is exciting! Too bad Jenna is one of them, so she'll will already know what happened in Brussels and won't need to read this, but I'll take what I can get.

I decided that I should e-mail the teacher that I'm student teaching with just to let her know that I'm coming. She tells me that I have 16 students and 4 of them are pulled out for different reasons. So technically, I only have 12 students for a portion of the day. Yes, my sanity should remain with me.

But that's not the best part of the e-mail conversation. She then e-mails me again to apologize for not inviting me to this party she calls "New Years Drinks". I immediately think that she is really confused because new years happened a month ago, but I open the invite anyways. UHHHHH turns out she is a "lady" and her husband is a "sir" and they are throwing a party and thought that it would be a great idea to invite 4 21 year olds that they have known for 2 days since the party is on February 1st! Not even 2 days...the day of the party will be the first day that I start student teaching with her. I really need to make a great first impression...crap. Those aren't exactly my strong points. I'll try and upload the invite so you guys (Samantha and Jenna since they are the only ones who read this) can see how official this party is.

Maybe I'll meet some handsome silver fox and he'll teach me how to dance and then make me a lady. And by "lady", I mean the kind of lady that my teacher is. I'll have to keep you posted on how the night goes.

The weather update is 25 degrees. It says that it should be snowing the day we arrive.


Ok...so the attachment wouldn't work. I copied and pasted it and it came out funky. On the invitation their crest was on the top and it was is nice cursive font. This will get the point across to you though...
