Tuesday

Today was an awesome day. Granted it started a little sketchy with this man on the train doing his "preachin'" to me about how I "look a f****n' fool readin' like that, and the only true way is the bible". At dinner, Ed told me I am turning into a true New Yawk-er by ignoring him and realizing all that is going on around me while doing a particular task on the train! Hooray for me? Lol. Anyways, at work, my boss Melissa and I got the BEST laugh of the year courtesy of one of our religion teacher's, Mr. Woody. To put it short, we gave a lesson last week and what it means to be Lasallian, and they took a quiz today and what they remembered. One of the questions was "Name the two adults who work in Campus Ministry here at Bishop Loughlin?" Simple enough I'd say, seeing how we introduced ourselves. The pictures below though show a different side to the story. Gotta say, at least these kids are honest...

Happiness Journal (Sept. 18):

• Basil's Birthday Bagel Bash (Theology Dept. Chair's birthday was last week, so we had a little party!)
• laughing SO HARD at the responses to the quiz via Mr. Woody [see pictures below]
• finishing this AWESOME script I started yesterday on the train ride home today
• predicting both contestants right for the winners of this season's So You Think You Can Dance! 
• realizing the joy of blogging, and how exciting this will be to look back and see all the wonderful memories I had during my experience as an LV!

And now...the pictures...

I got to hand it to the students, they had me laughing for a good 5-7 minutes. Evaluating the situation, as a teacher would, this has taught me that I need to wear a 2 ft. long by 1 ft. high name tag on retreat with all of these students. ;). Lol.
