My parents are my heroes.
Honestly, I have the best parents in the world!

This week is the last week of semester 2.
Semester 1 went by fast,
semester 2 went by faster,
and I hope semester 3 goes by the slowest!
This Friday we are going on a school trip
:} and I am so excited!!!

Today, in conversation class,
I wrote on the board "This term of SYME is almost over."
(we were reviewing for a quiz tomorrow)
But, I got a tad sidetracked and
I told them that I am going to miss them when I left.
>no response<
I asked them if they were going to be sad.
>no response<
"Well I really am going to miss you! I will only see you again if you come to WOLBI in New York, which I hope you do!"
"Miss Nicole, are you going to be our teacher for next conversation class [meaning for the last semester]?"
"Yes, I am..unless you want a new teacher......and if you do, don't tell me, but ask Miss Jodi to switch the teachers around if you want somebody new."
>no response, however Jim starts smiling<
"Jim, talking about my leaving or not being your teacher shouldn't make you smile!"
(please know that I myself am smiling through out this conversation)
"I'm kidding" Jim replies, but began to smile bigger.
"Well I am going to miss you." I said.
"Miss Nicole, you are the best teacher! I love this class!" said beautiful Unity.
"Yes, best teacher. I love this class too." said smiling Jim.
Noah nodded and smiled.
With all of that said, I got out Jenga and we played.
We got out the vocab words for this week--
and you had to say a sentence with a word before you could make a move.
Are you a skeptic that Jenga is a good tool to learn English?
Well, on the way up from class I heard
"SUCCESS!!!!!!!" from Jim who did not lose in the game :]
[success was a vocab word :]

"I'm going to miss Japanese snacks" -N
"Yes. That is why I am going to buy some and put it in the little container Miss Jodi gave us" -S
"....I have zip-block bags I've saved too...." -N
"...and I am saving boxes that my crackers come in...we can store things there too!" -N
"My plan is we go out a few days before we leave, pop open the bags of snacks, load them into the zip-block bags and boxes we've stored, and fill our suitcases with snacks!" -N

Sunday night, the day before the teacher's day off,
I decided I wanted to watch a movie.
I haven't watched a movie since I was at Amy's house--and I LOVE movies..
(Especially involving the ever-so-charming-and-handsome Tom Hanks)
Well, Stacey came in the room,
and I said "let's watch a movie"
So we sat down underneath my top bunk
-that I made into a couch-
and began to watch a movie.
It was really fun.
:]

Today in pronunciation,
I melted.
Because when they said the word "kitchen"
it was the.cutest.thing.I.have.ever.laid.ears.on.
Hehe.
So when I would say a list of words to repeat after me,
I would throw the word 'kitchen' in there...more than 2 times..
Only few knew why, and they laughed at me.
:] but honestly, cutest thing ever!

This coming Monday,
I am going to the Embassy (I think that's where I am going)
and I will try and renew my visa.
If they say yes, I'm good as gold to come home the day my ticket says.
If they say no, I am going to have to call American Airlines and figure out when I need to come home.
So, please (!) pray for Mr.Man who will be deciding if I can stay or not..pray that he will be just as intrigued in my sad, sorry American face (just like the ice-cream man) and have pity on me (again just like the ice-cream man)

Speaking of ice-cream man..
I went back this past Sunday.
One of the teachers Josh was with me...
And so Mr.Ice-cream man thought we were sharing.
CLEARLY he doesn't know me.
After Josh got his ice-cream,
I proceded to order my ice-cream.
After I was done,
Mr. Ice-cream man looked at me and said "present, pick"
(meaning he was giving me a present)
I was estatic!
I said "Rose"
And he put a huge whopping scoop of rose ONTOP of my already over-flowing cup filled with Milk Ice-cream.
<3>
Which means "So good, delicious!"

Alright, time to go to bed!
Hope you have a wonderful day!
