“I’m only here for the food!”

I got off work early and I decided to do a few things that I have wanted to do but haven’t had time to do. (go to boarders and just read and listen to music, clean my room, update the blog etc.) 

My Uncle who went to England on his mission when he was a lad has been emailing me about my mission and such. He just started this new thing where he gives me a little quiz and as soon as I reply with all the answers he will send me another one. This week’s quiz went something like this:

Define the following terms: Fortnight, Cheerio, Ta, Cars Bonnet, Cars boot

I have figured out most of them. Fortnight– I am not really sure but I think it is 14 days or something Maybe just a week… I dont know. Cheerio–obviously a type of cereal! jk, it’s goodbye. Ta– I have no clue. Car’s bonnet–The hood of a car. Car’s boot–The trunk of a car.

So in my research I have found some other interesting things. Brekkie= Breakfast, Juice= all soft drinks, Tattie= potatoes and toastie= a toasted sandwich. ALSO Sean Connery and J.K. Rowling live in Edinburgh! Maybe I will teach them the gospel!!

I finally cut my hair! I dontated it to locks of love. And it’s really short. But I am liking it. At first I really wasnt sure how I felt about it and I didnt want anyone to look at me. Now I am realizing that short hair is so much easier and therefore worth it! And I have gotten mostly good feedback. Although my neighbor did tell me that he is now rethinking asking me to be one of his wives… (I took that as POSITIVE feedback)

Work is going well. I had a break from swimming for a month and I am glad to be back! I have 4 classes this time and they are “nice and easy!” I love it! Most of the kids are between 5-7. I can really teel the difference between classes at the begining of the summer and ones at the end. The August classes just seem a lot more used to the water! One of the classes is for the swimming merit badge and so they already know how to swim so basically I just get to play with them! Anyway, I love being busy and it is definitly one of those weeks!

I just got off the phone with my grandmother. She just informed me that there were no huckleberries this year. At least not in the places we usually look! Can you believe it? And I was actually looking forward to picking those tiny little things!
