- The Aquarium was good fun, even if the sun was not sunning and if kindergartners were a little wild.  Also, why is it I had to play chaperone to the parents on this trip!?!?!  I felt like I had 3 extra kids instead of 3 chaperones (Chloe's mom was good as usual, Aaron's mom is an allstar, Leila's mom is totally spacy but she handled Jesus, Keita's dad is alright, but he was hanging out with Taiyo's who is the woooooooooooooooooooorst).  Whatevs.  I got to see my beloved walrus, Iyvek, and other amazing sea animals.  Rain be damned. 

Then I found my way to Strawberry Fest, which was thankfully NOT canceled, despite the rain.  They moved some stuff into Kimmel, and some was still outside, and all was good.  Saw L'Choi, Veronica verrrrrry briefly, Banga who was a jerk, Birju, and for a short moment, Jess and John.  I also saw Suchi when I went to get PAID, but she decided not to stay.  LOOOOOSER.  Almost as bad as her roommate.

Finally, I'm heading back into this, but I am DAMN proud of the bookmarks I am making my students for my last day on Tuesday.  I was initally going to buy them all a book on a topic they liked (which was my excuse to go to the Strand and buy Alexa copies of the Baby-sitters Club), but heyyyy THAT'S EXPENSIVE.  So instead, I am using BOARDMAKER (which is just amazing) to construct bookmarks for my lovelies.  A little difficult, but worth it.  5 done, 5 to go.  Tomorrow, will take them to Staples to get laminated.  Then to buy Cathleen and Nicole their giftcards, and I am SETTTTTTT.
