So I'm taking a math class this semester, and my professor is the most stereotypical person ever. When he walked in on the first day of class, Elena and I were both like "Is this real life?!" Anyway, I took this picture of his back today because he drew squiggles on the board to explain what analysis is. This, somehow, is a math class, and I love it.

We got two free pizzas by attending a floor event today! But they were not pre-cooked, so when we brought them back to the apartment, we realized we didn't really know how to bake them without them being ruined, so we ended up reshaping them to fit in cookie sheets. The end result were rectangular, oddly-baked pizzas. Here is the final picture of the pizzas. They were still delicious, though!

Today was the second day with my small group, and when it was done, I went to an event at The Mill. The men's gymnastics team made an appearance for the event, and they did gymnastics in the bar, and it was crazy and amazing, so I tried to take a picture, but it doesn't capture how crazy they actually were.

When Kelley went to start dinner, she realized there was not enough rice, so we ran to the store, and somehow, brownies ended up in the grocery bag........ I wonder how that happened?! We decided to make them tonight, and they were so delicious!!! I ate mine on this plate, and it was very appropriate.

Today Kelley and I were suuuper productive, and we laid out and cut some of bulletin boards!!! She is kind of going with a social media theme, and so here is her Twitter board! She is going to ask her kids questions about something they learned that day, and they're going to answer the question as a tweet! We can't get over how cute it is!!!

Today was probably the most beautiful day I've ever experienced!!! Joe, Kelley, and I went to Mt. Rainier National Park, and we hiked approximately a 6 mile trail up to 6,800 feet!!! The views were absolutely gorgeous, and the weather was wonderful! The trail was more strenuous than we thought they were going to be, but we managed, and we were very proud of our hiking accomplishments!!

There was a festival happening in the town where Kelley and Joe are living, so after dinner, we decided to go downtown! Here is a picture of part of the festival. It was really packed, and there were so many booths! In the corner of this picture, you can see a stand that was shaped like a strawberry!! While we were downtown, we stopped at a pier and watched the sunset. It was beautiful!

Today was my last day of work, but more importantly, today was my flight to Washington!!!! I ended up getting to Kelley's apartment around midnight which is 2 a.m. our time, so I was pretty tired, but it was worth it!! She had my Christmas present laid out on the bed, but I forgot to take a picture of it before going through it all, so the stuff isn't arranged as cute as it was when I originally saw it, but here is everything she gave me!! It's a bunch of cute cooking things!!! Yay!!!

Janelle came to eat lunch with me at work today, and it was wonderful!!!!! We both got quesadillas, but the lady serving Janelle gave her almost a full plate of rice and beans, and then she put her quesadilla on top of it. It was so much food!! We were both really confused with what the lady was thinking!

Today Mom, Dad, and I went to see the play Oliver! based on Oliver Twist. A guy that Mom and I work with is in it, and I was really excited because I've seen two other plays he was in, but I didn't know him when I saw them, so it was exciting actually knowing the person this time!! He's the blurry guy in red in this picture! Sidenote: The kids were so adorable in this play!!!!

Besides being my half birthday, today was exciting because I got to help Jill set up her classroom which is an annual thing!! We always decorate her bulletin boards which is a whole lot of work!!! This was our favorite board of the day, so we took a picture with it!! She's going to have cut-out fish with her kids' names on them, and every day a different kid is going to be in the fish tank, and they're going to help her do errands and stuff.
