Letters

So I sponsor a kid through Compassion International and I have slacked on writing him letters. He is 11 years old and lives in India. He is such a cutie! I just sent him an e-mail and I hope to write him a lot more now. I absolutely love receiving letters so why wouldn't anyone else?! I plan on sending him one every other month, if not more. He has sent me one letter and drew a picture for me. It is the cutest picture! I have it hanging on my fridge!

Confessions

Well it is 12:41 AM. Tomorrow is Opening Ceremonies for the final trimester. I am super excited to see my kids, but I think I am suffering from some jet lag. My vacation was AWESOME! I plan on blogging more about that later so stay tuned! My NEW camera decided that it wasn't going to work for me so I sadly was not able to take any pictures myself. I will be getting pictures from Melanie, Ally, and Logan though so don't worry, you will be able to see some!

Ok well the point of this blog is to A) try to make me tired and B) confess a few things. Here is part B):

The 24 goals that I have made for myself are a lot harder than you think! I have obviously failed at blogging once a week because of my vacay. However, I plan on giving you a few blogs that are based off of my trip so that should compensate. Another goal I failed at was not eating chocolate. I ordered a dessert in Rome and it was covered in chocolate...I paid for it, so I had to eat it...oh and I also ate a chocolate muffin that one of my students brought me on his birthday...please cut me some slack on that one. I still plan on avoiding chocolate products though. Now I have also been avoiding carbonated beverages....but yet again I FAILED! I had some flavored sparkling water on Christmas Eve! But let me specify, the reason why I made that goal was so that I wouldn't drink that many cokes..etc.

Well please don't think less of me people.

So I'm still not tired, I will get back to watching the Pineapple Express. I just ironed my suit for tomorrow (we are taking staff pics) and straightened my hair hoping to be tired afterwards...it didn't work!

Happy New Year!!
