Oh school, how I cannot wait until you are over. Until I no longer have to endure your teachings and put up with the freaks you contain. Please, school, end now!! Oh well, seeing as that is not going to happen this week, I'll tell you about yesterday, which I would have told you about yesterday if I didn't have to explain the past few months. So we had a field trip to the town's elementary school where we taught transition kids (aka 6-year-olds who weren't mature enough for first grade) and fifth graders about protagonists and antagonists! Fun, right? Well, sorta. The fifth graders just stared at us like we were telling them that we had colonized the moon ourselves. Just a little bit annoying when they seem to take no interest in a project that you're getting a grade on. The transition kids were wicked fun though. They were all hyper and adorable, and actually wanted to learn about what we had to teach them! Although we did make one of them cry. He was this really shy boy named Timothy, and he didn't come up when we were passing out prizes, so we didn't realize that he hadn't gotten a teddy bear! Unfortunately, we were one short on the stuffed animals, so he started crying. I gave him a "special" key chain from our school and a bunch of pencils, but he kept crying. So one of my group members went and got some prizes from the other group teaching the kids. I tried to give him those, but he kept crying. Then the teacher called him to her desk, but he kept crying! It was so sad! Except for poor little Timothy, the little rug rats were awesome! After our lesson, they put their teddy bears on their chairs, so the whole room was full of stuffed animals sitting at desks! Awwww! It kind of makes me think of what I want to do with my life. I'm pretty set on being an actress, but what about a teacher? Without teachers, what would we know? They teach us how to read, add, subtract, everything! And quite frankly, they get no where near the recognition they deserve. Who knows, what the future holds for me, or anyone. We'll just have to wait and see..."It's not faith if you're using your eyes"
