dear mom and dad,

hi! we all have plants in our classrooms, and after two weeks they die. i guess the school keeps replacing them? it was so depressing to see this slowing dying plant everyday, so i went out and found a "cow's tongue" plant and replaced whatever it was in the pot before. now my desk looks so bright and alive! them cow tongue thingys are the bomb! no sunlight, no water, and yet so green and pretty. online, it was called "mother-in-law's tongue," also "snakeskin plant" and "snake plant." dad you said it was called "cow." well, i like cow better.

school is going good. it's summer vacation for the kids right now, so our school is offering "Summer Intensives" which are classes that meet 3x a week for 4 weeks... just enough time to suck up the kids' vacation! ha! so many of my coworkers and are are teaching these summer classes in the morning, and then our regular classes in the late afternoon.

i have to admit was a little put off with having to teach these extra classes, but today was my first morning and i had a ball. the kids are cute and smart and i take back all my ill feelings; things are good. and according to my coworkers, it'll be a nice chunk of change on the paycheck as well. cant say that im not looking forward to that!~daughter
