More Good Stuff

I couldn't make it to the house of restoration on Thursday because of the stomach bug I aquired from Avery's 2-3 year old pre-school class. Unfortunately, I got sick in the middle of class and had to leave school early. Most of my day was spent in bed fighting off nauseusness or in the bathroom. But the next day I woke up and felt like a $100 bucks. All that to say....I did not get to go the house of restoration, but John did. And he will blog about it later today.

Okay, so yesterday I got my haircut, a manicure, a pedicure, and Ally got her nails and toe-nails professionally painted. Right now your thinking, "Hold up! You guys are poor missionaries. How in the world did you afford that?" Great question. We afforded it because the grand-spanking total for all of the glamorous work was only $23 dollars. Yep! Not joking! And my hair actually looks really nice - especially for a $7 haircut. So I'll break it down for you - $7 manicure, $5, pedicure, $2 for ally's toes and another $2 for her fingers - with cute little flowers on each finger. How awesome is that! And everything was done at a very high quality. Not that you care (my girlfriends will), but she cut off 2 inches and put some layers on the bottom of my hair. I like it mucho!

Yesterday at school, the director called us out of class and informed us that 2 grammar classes were going to be re-shuffled. Our teacher teaches 2 classes and they want to make a class that goes at a slower pace and one that goes at a more rapid pace. What an honor that they asked me to go to the fast class. My response? NO THANKS! Please don't change a thing. I would've had to switch conversation teachers as well and I LOVE HER and the way she teaches us. So, I might be going at snail's pace this tri-mester but I was thinking that I would rather speak in quality than in quantity. :) I'm really in no rush and I seriously want to laugh and have a good time and not be stressed at all. And this first 2 weeks has been much better for me than the stress of last trimester so I requested that nothing change. Oh yeh, plus my good-buddy Paula (that has been with us since training in Richmond) is going to be in my class now and we are going to laugh and learn together.
