And the school year begins...

It was so great to have our first official day of school yesterday, however, I will have to readjust back into wearing "teacher" clothes all the time again. (I really need to find a job wearing gym shorts and t-shirts all day like I had during the summer!). 

Happiness Journal (Sept. 10):

• seeing the full student body returning to school with excitement and anticipation of the upcoming year! 
• student quote: (walking into our newly painted office) "So this is the new crib...I like." [not sure how I feel about my office being called a "crib" but if it gets more students to come and visit, I'll take it...]
• having a delicious Minnesota delicacy for dinner : Tater Tot Hot Dish!! yummmm.
• buying Dunkin' Donuts Pumpkin Spice ground coffee so I can make my own at home and save on money #lifeofavolunteer

Happiness Journal (Sept 11):

• having the whole student represented through unity of the terrorist attacks wearing remembrance pins all day
• presenting to some of the freshmen religion classes about "Who is John Baptist de La Salle?" and "What does it mean to be Lasallian?"
• finding "Headless (Lasallian) Horseman" in our house tonight after dinner [see picture below...]
• receiving a package from one of my college campus minister's, Sabrina, with an awesome shirt from one of my favorite mission trips we do!
