And today makes three...

Today is our third cold morning in a row, but I've finally gotten smart. I brought my heater fan from my apartment! After all, it's small enough to fit into my backpack, and it feels great blowing on my feet when I'm sitting at my desk. The door and windows are closed (or at least, as "closed" as they get here with this style of window), but I still don't think this heater has anything on this room. Poor kids... Maybe the sun will come out and it will warm up quickly today.

I had a weird dream last night about being at "home", but it was the people that made it home - not the place. My parents were helping me figure out which car to drive to go somewhere with my sister and two other people, and we ended up taking the car that I had when I was 16. I remember my sister getting really mad at me at one point (Yep! Just like home!!!), and I also remember passing a lot of Party City's (Party Cities?) and saying, "Wow. This culture must like to party! We have Party City in Honduras too..." (We don't...) I don't know... I have no explanation. But last night, I was with my mom, dad, and sister - and I didn't want to wake up. :)

Today, one of the PE teachers is starting 5th and 6th grade intermural soccer during recess. 5A kicks it off playing against us (5B) and then 6A will play 6B. This is the talk of the school, and it's nice because we (the teachers) get to choose who is eligible to play based on behavior, turning in assignments, etc. This is really working out in my favor, and I hope it will motivate some of them to be more responsible...

Okay... I need to go. We're about to start division with two-digit divisors for the first time in their lives. It's a big day in 5th grade!
