So apparently my April Fool's day joke post was a big piece of shit this year. People not only believed it (which I suppose actually makes it successful), but they don't think it's funny at all. I just thought that it would be funny if after the hellish search I went through, and how excited I was about this place, if it just sucked and I was stuck here for 3 years.
I guess I have a sick sense of humor.
So, to clarify, my apartment is not a disaster. I've slept incredibly well, without ear plugs, the past two nights. The only grain of truth to the post is that I'm not a huge fan of the sanibroyeur toilet, but I'm guessing I'll get used to it. I've only met one neighbor, an incredibly nice man who insisted on helping with the move when he came across us lugging boxes up the stairs.
So far, so good! If you're curious about my past April Fool's day posts, find them here and here. And next year, people, check the tags. ;)
I haven't written because I've been busy brooding. Despite knowing for a fact that a lot of you have read my blog in the past week, only one person commented! It was a reader poll, people! Contribute!
No, seriously, I just haven't been in the blogging mood. I think I was on houseguest-overload. I've had six guests over the past two weeks, and that's just too much. I love that my friends come to visit, don't get me wrong. And I really like having people at my house. It was just too much at once, and left me feeling a bit deprived of me-time.
But! I had so much fun with Sarah, Amanda, Evan, Gilda, Jenn, and Nick. Really and truly. And as soon as they all send me some photos, I will show you just how much fun.
In other news, I have a two-week lesson plan that's working pretty well with all my classes. Last week I taught them body parts vocab (knee, shoulder, ear, etc) and then played Simon Says. This week I'm doing body parts picture bingo, and then either more Simon Says, or hangman, or a questions race, depending on the class.
And because I am a sick, sick individual, one of my favorite things to do is tell them, "Simon Says, hit your face" and then watch all of my students smack themselves. Hey, I get my kicks where I can.
Today, though, one of my students made me practically pee myself laughing. The French word for butt is fesses, pronounced "fehss," and when I said "Simon Says, hit your face" this boy spanked himself with such enthusiasm and sass that I almost wanted to check for tranny glitter in his hair.
Also, look at my pretty flowers. I did it myself:
