Summer School...
Oh the joys of summer school! I get the opportunity to teach health to the same group of kids for six hours! HOLY COW.. I love health, but teaching six hours of it to the same people is tough! I have to come up with different ways to entertain! We totally did meditation today =) I was actually super stoked about that, and the student took to it pretty well... I was pleasantly suprised. I have to admit I am glad I am teaching summer school... the last week I had off was miserable. I didn't know what to do with myself- Nothing good is on TV, I can't get myself to want to tan outside, and I have read so many books I am taking a break from it. The only thing I found myself doing was playing the piano- I am definitley getting better at it. Oh, did I mention teaching summer school is a pretty cushy job! Why didn't I ever think of this before?

THINGS I LEARNED FROM THE MOVIES
1- Large, loft-style apartments in New York City are well within the price range of most people--whether they are employed or not.
2- At least one of a pair of identical twins is born evil.
3- Should you decide to defuse a bomb, don't worry which wire to cut. You will always choose the right one.
4- Most laptop computers are powerful enough to override the communications system of any invading alien society.
5- It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts: your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors.
6- When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in your bedroom will still be clearly visible, just slightly bluish.
7- If you are blonde and pretty, it is possible to become a world expert on nuclear fission at the age of 22.
8- Honest and hard working policemen are traditionally gunned down three days before their retirement.
9- Rather than wasting bullets, megalomaniacs prefer to kill their arch enemies using complicated machinery involving fuses, pulley systems, deadly gasses, lasers, and man-eating sharks, which will allow their captives at least 20 minutes to escape.
10- All beds have special L-shaped cover sheets that reach the armpit level on a woman but only to waist level on the man lying beside her.
11- All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of French bread.
12- It's easy for anyone to land a plane providing there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.
13- Once applied, lipstick will never rub off -- even while scuba diving.
14- You're very likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.
15- Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German or Russian officer, it will not be necessary to speak the language. A German or Russian accent will do.
16- The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window in Paris.
17- A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating, but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.
18- If a large pane of glass is visible, someone will be thrown through it before long.
19- If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises in their most revealing underwear.
20-Word processors never display a cursor on screen but will always say: Enter Password Now.
21- Even when driving down a perfectly straight road, it is necessary to turn the steering wheel vigorously from left to right every few moments.
22- All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts so you know exactly when they're going to go off.
23- A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty.
24- If you decide to start dancing in the street, everyone you meet will know all the steps.
25- Police departments give their officers personality tests to make sure they are deliberately assigned a partner who is their total opposite.
26- When they are alone, all foreign military officers prefer to speak to each other in English.

The Green Machine!
The Green Machine might have had its last lap! It overheated on my way to work today, which means it will probably need a new radiator. They have also mentioned that I should just get a new engine all together! Is it worth it? Should I just put the car to rest? Sad day-- I am grateful it lasted for the year, though =) I mean, who knows... it could be easily fixed, right?
