Today I got to play hookie from school for the first time... aside from the nightmares of all hell breaking loose in my classroom, it was nice to have a day off. I spent the day in Ogden at the UFLA (Utah Foreign Language Association) conference. It was fun for the most part- though it did get a little long. It was really strange being the only one there who is teaching Italian but it was really cool at the same time. The strangest thing happened when I was sitting in one of the sessions learning about foldables (different ways to fold paper to engage students in learning various things) when I realized who the lady was sitting at the table next to me. It was Mrs. Comisky. My French teacher from Jr. High. Wierd! Seeing her brought back a lot of memories. The boot- a tool for learning verbs, repeating french words 7 times in a row because "when you repeat something 7 times, you will remember it." And the memory that will forever be burned in my memory, old lady boobs. I know... I am laughing too... I remember one day I was sitting in class and had a question. so Mrs. Comisky came over to my desk and bent down... her shirt was kinda low and when I turned my head... yup, old lady boobs right in my view... Nasty! It is one of those memories you just wish you could forget! It was good to see her though. Aside from the boob experience, she really did teach me a lot.
On a more exciting note (maybe!)Wrestling is going well. It would be better if I actually knew more.. but every practice I go to I am learning a lot and it is fun to see the guys work hard for something they want and work as a team. Knowing some of the guys that are on there I never would have imagined the level of team work that I have seen. I am so proud of them and I am excited to work with them and see them improve throughout the season.
My life seems to be consumed with school and wrestling- but is that really a surprise?! Hopefully one of these days soon I will get a chance to get out and do something exciting!
