Sneaky

Mood: mischievous

Last week after school: Student named K comes up to me. (Ms. Wong is my mentor)

K: Hey Ms. Lieu. (sneaky grin)
Me: Hi K! How are you doing?
K: I'm okay. You know. (: (:
K (whispering): So Ms. Lieu. How does Ms. Wong treat you?
Me: haha. She treats me alright.
K (still whispering): You know if she treats you bad you can rePORT her!
Me: oh really now...
K: yes. Yes you can.

minute later. I over hear K...

K: Hey Ms. Wong! Ms. Wong!
Ms. W: Hi K...
K: So Ms. Wong....How does Ms. Lieu treat you?

GOSH THESE KIDS ARE SUCH TROLLS. I love them.

Calm Before the Storm

Mood: Calm

Last Friday was orientation for all grad students.  It was GREAT. I got all the free things! :D

One tooth brush, one toothpaste, one shopping bag, one laundry bag, one toilet paper roll, 8 pens, 2 pencils, 4 high lighters, one tea bag, one fork, one lollipop, one biscotti, two giant paper clips, 6 button pins, three bruin tattoos, one chapstick 6 sticky note pads.  

I am in heaven! 

Also, there are so many perks to being a grad student! the best of which is the 250 free copies I get in the grad resource center.  At the orientation we ate and drank wine like kings and queens. Tomorrow is orientation for the teacher ed program.  I'm looking forward to more free things!

Life is great right now. I don't have to teach for a week and i have no work to do because summer session just ended and we ave orientation all week. (And by no work i mean, no real work.  I still make worksheets and stuff for class, but no lesson planning! and no homework!) All weekend I lied around in bed, went to malls and eateries with Darius and watched movies.  Right now it is midnight and I am leisurely blogging and watching Amelie while sipping soymilk.  I feel like this is the calm before the storm. But who says i can't enjoy it??

All across California, freshmen and returning college students are streaming into their universities.  It feels weird because I've already been in full swing school mode for 2 months but the start of the school year always excites me.  Brand new school things, fresh motivation not to mention the anticipation of the holiday season are a few of my favorite things!
