Ruby wants to quit school. That news hurt worse than I would have guessed. I had a weird crying-in-front-of-Mr. Surina-moment when I walked her back to chemistry class.
Max, Cody, and Dana's sister Sarah joined us at school today. The boys read a story and I was amazed at their reading ease and capacity for understanding stuff my sophomores struggle with. They also learned to serf the net with Google. They looked up images of sea turtles, sharks, lions, tigers, and a host of other strange and wonderful sea and land creatures. They called it "logging on to" whatever page they discovered. "Dude, I'm logging on to tigers." "No, log on to penguins, you have to see this." "Aunt Gina, can we come back here another day to log on to stuff?" It was scoops-adorable!
The dead mouse is still in the return vent in my classroom. This is day 3 of rotting animal corpse smell. The maintenance guy tells me it cannot be removed, and that it will stop smelling in a week or so. He called that "good news." I'm still trying to see it that way.
We all sit now at Aurelios waiting for our pizza and salad. Dana is taking great care of us. The whole place smells like God.
