Palm Readers and Bowling

So I realize that it has been over a month since I have posted a blog and I apologize. But my new goal is to post every Sunday about the last week. So I am not going to worry about the previous month just last week. Most of my weeks are the same, work a bajillion hours, go to tons of meetings, beg the other teachers to have their stuff in on time, and teach my classes. This week was adding up to be no different until Thursday. I teach two follow-up class 2B-1 and 2B-2, but Hanna has to teach my 2B-2's on Thursdays because of how the schedule works out. Usually this goes okay even though 2B-2's can be monsters. Well I guess Thursday was a particularly bad day which ended up with books being thrown and kids threatening to get Hanna fired (don't worry she won't be). Let's just say Friday saw a lot of tear stained faces as they came into class after having to go see not only Hanna for one-on-one talks, but also Sherry (my boss). It was pretty funny. Then Friday I got to pull a McGuyver as Hanna and I fixed her tub drain with a fork, screwdriver, and floss (you always need floss). Now to palm readers and bowling. Saturday was shaping up to be a boring rainy day (it has been raining for 3 days). Until Molly called, she is one of our Tawianese friends. She invited us to go to Taichung with her, only Hanna and I went. First we had some adventures at the most crowded Costco I have ever seen. Seriously it was hard to walk in their. Then we headed over to a friends house and ate a ton of food and watched Enchanted. One of the ladies there (the landlady) is actually a palm reader and can see the future. So of course I had to have my palm read. She said that my parents have a great marriage and they really love me, I am also very smart because I have a Confucius eye on my thumb (if the lines on the inside of your thumb at the first knuckle form an oval it means you are smart). She also said I will get married before Hanna and I will have a great life. She told me I should stay in Taiwan, but I don't think I will. After this we all went bowling at 11 pm. It was Molly, Hanna, Sue, her 10 year old daughter Sandy, Collin, Derek, Jeanette, and some kid I never met. I came in 3rd the first time and 1st the second. It was a good night. Well that is all for week one of the weekly blog posts.
