Leave Your Big Mac At Home

Wednesday March 26, 2008

It’s a good thing that I didn’t bring a hamburger to class today…because today we were told “the rules for eating in the classroom.” We now know exactly what we can and can’t bring to eat for snacks in between classes. Things that we cannot bring to eat: hamburgers (yeah, because I usually bring a hamburger in my backpack for a quick snack), vegetables (darn, there goes my eggplant fetish) and fruit. Can you say random? I literally started laughing out loud when she told us that we couldn’t eat hamburgers in the classroom. I haven’t had a hamburger in months, let alone, why would I bring one to school?

 I received a picture c.d. in the mail today from a couple of my parent’s best friends (Gary and LaVonne) and it was a great idea! Most of the pictures are from back in the day (2005), but it was still fun going through all 200 of them and reminiscing. A lot of them made me laugh. The c.d. has a lot of pictures from my graduation party. With this being said, I can’t believe that it’s been 3 years since I have graduated from high school! When I get back it will already be Molly’s turn to graduate. Ah, I’m getting old! I remember when we used to have slumber parities and bake cupcakes at Gary and LaVonne’s and now, we are all grown up. How scary!

 Today Encarna cleaned our room and bought a mosquito repellent machine (I’m not quite sure that’s the technical term, but for our purpose it works) for our room, finally! This past weekend I killed 9 mosquitoes in two days, so lets hope this little machine works miracles. While she was mopping she moved our stash of shoes out from under our bunk bed and told us that she was going to take all of our shoes and sell them to become rich. I think that Encarna thinks that we have a lot of shoes, which is really funny because those shoes aren’t anything compared to the collections that we all have at home.

 In international news: Mattel has created a “Spanish Barbie” as a part of their Dolls of the World collection. This doll is clad in a black and red flamenco dress, wears the traditional lacey head covering and carries a black fan- the whole stereotypical works. The cool thing about this doll is that its style is based off of the Andalusian style of flamenco. Why exactly is that cool? Andalusia happens to be the region of Spain that I live in! The dolls are 22 euros here, so keep your eyes open for the new “Spanish Barbie” to hit the States.
