Today was a pretty good day...had a full day of "teacher training"...which was pretty useless (they made me sing "the hello song"....it goes "hello, hello, hello what's your name? hello, hello, hello! My name is _______, my name is _______, hello _________ hello ________ hello!"....yeah it is pure evil and gets permanently stuck in your brain!) But I met a bunch of cool new people (all assistants) so that was cool.
Then I babysat Ryan...we played house and I got him to remember the words "sun" "moon" and "raspberry"...then his mom came home and he went crazy-hyper and started climbing all over me :) goodtimes
Then I went to the cocktail party at the Skidmore Center, which was fun! Saw Gils!!! And finally connected with Patty which was awesome! (Patty, my french prof from Skidmore for all you guys who don't know her). She is teaching in Paris for the semester...so I can't wait to see her again and have a coffee or something!
Then I came home and decided I should figure out the washing machine...and that's when things went bad...i put pretty much all the clothes I have in there (cause they are all dirty)...then turned the dials I thought would turn it on...well a light came on but nothing happened...then i tried to open the door and it was locked....then i proceeded to freak out that i broke it and all my clothes were stuck inside...so i pulled a little harder...and the i broke the handle off!!! ahhhhhhh disaster! but i got it to start...i think it is actually washing my clothes (i hope) and that i'll be able to get them out when it is done (i think with some pliars i can get the door open). I hope maybe...maybe i can superglue the handle back on...cross your fingers...cause i'm not sure what i'll do if it can't be fixed.
In addition...susan broke the handle off our fridge the other day too! (what's with us and handles???) but she managed to fix it with super glue...

well that's all for tonight....need to rest up to watch the big rugby match tomorrow night (France v England!!! should be CRAZY!!! allez les bleus!!!
