Live(kinda) from Wisconsin!



I am wilting right now. I am tired. I only slept for about six hours last night and then traveled across this great country after being at school for half a day of babysitting. (It really felt like that today)

So, I dyed my hair. Actually, I did not dye it, a friend did. She was very excited to dye it as well. She truly was like a kid in a candy store. I actually think it looks pretty good. I think that brunettes have more fun, honestly. At least in the last 24 hours I have had lots of fun. I had to dye my hair because my students raised over 220 dollars for Sub for Santa. I like to do things for charity. Most of the students really liked my hair. Some thought it wasn't dark enough. I think it is plenty dark. They also enjoyed me walking around in the dress. Too bad I forgot to take a picture in it before playing basketball.

The students actually beat us today in the faculty-student basketball game. That did not make me happy. I was not a good sport and had to eject myself from the game. Sad, sad story. Today at school was overall a good experience. My Leadership(3rd Hour, kinda like an advisory class) were very cute today. We always do a school wide service project and write to former students who are currently serving in the military. My students wrote more letters than last year. I was impressed by how well they decorated them. Good job! Besides two incidents where I wanted to strangle students today, things went pretty well. I even got on my airplane easily thanks to a ride from a special someone at work (you know who you are and thank you again!). It was a great ride to the airport talking with this friend from work. I like to get to know people better.

Okay, the last section of today's post will be about what I would change about flying.

1. There would be no "First Class"; all seats would be bigger. There also would be more leg room. There would not be an elite group of people who would get better seats. All seats would be the same price. This way people would not be poked in the side by bony elbows the whole time as somebody typed on their laptop. (My flight from SLC to Minneapolis was experienced this way.)

2. The plane would then be boarded from back to front. It is totally stupid to have the people who sit in the front of the plane board first. I feel like it is as if, in society, the rich people would get to do everything first and it would be rubbed in the rest of our faces. It would also be like having to go past all the Lexus, Cadillacs and Hummers before seeing the rusty 1977 Gremlin at the used car lot, which would be the only car you can afford. "Ha ha. You can't afford any of these nice comfortable cars! We just wanted to walk you through here so you could pine over them!"

3. If you store things in the overhead compartments, you would have to deplane last. I hate the whole pile up after the fasten seat belt sign goes off. It is stupid for people who actually bring something that can fit under the seat in front of them to have to wait for all the people who carried on everything they own.

4. There would be meals in all flights over two hours. I find it very silly that even before serving drinks today they came through selling candy. It was like being at the movie theater, where you know the candy is not worth the 8 dollars they charge! Seriously.

5. Each seat would come with noise cancelling head phones. My new head phones are spectacular and it made for fun flying today. I watched Happy Gilmore and an episode of The Office and all I could hear were the sounds from the shows. Spectacular.

Well, I think five will have to suffice for tonight. My bed is looking pretty spectacular right about now. I am very excited for ten days with family and friends. Woo Hoo!
