Odds and Ends (lots of photos)

(I put the smoke alarm up.  Surprisingly I've been cooking every night and it hasn't gone off yet!  That is a record for me)

I decided my bedroom walls needed some decorating and tape wasn't holding anything up.  The solution?  String and paperclips.  I realized I only brought a few family pictures and I can't get any printed off of Facebook here.  So, if any of my friends would like to drop a few in the mail that would be great.

Thank you to everyone who has given school supplies!  I have now received three boxes this sized packed to the top!  I think I am good on supplies for now.  I will post if there are any other needs in my classroom.

Also in my boxes were some "Kristina Supplies"  Thank you mom!

The coveted grade book.  I still feel like I shouldn't be touching it.  I guess it is going to take a while to get use to not being the student.

This is how I spend my evenings and Sundays.  Grading, lesson planning, and now watching Boy Meets World.  It's the American part of me that allows me to multi-task effectively.

The next picture of the ocean near our house.  The area is called Sliding Rock.  Sara and I found out why.  Those rocks are slick when they are wet.  We did not manage to find the area there that is swimmable.  I'm going with one of my students this week to find out where the swimming hole is.

A few of my "tough" boys that came along to protect Sara and I.

Please look at the gear shift of this super cool bus.
