It's October!

It's October 1st! Happy October! These days it's so crisp and cool out, it's amazing. I really love this weather, it always makes me feel energized when i walk around the school and just feel the cold air and see the orangey red trees outside X3 I also get distracted by how nice it looks outside when i'm in some of the classrooms on the upper floors 'cause i can see the mountains and the sunshine and just know what the weather outside feels like X3 Ah...love it.
It's 9:30am right now and walking back down to the teachers' room, the air in the lobby was so chilly, it felt like it does at night in berkeley/yuba city (in fall/winter). I felt like i could almost smell the jack-o-lanterns burning XD And the other night while walking home from the bus stop, i just felt like it was christmas time lolol, wow. I guess I associate different temperatures/weather with memories from holiday times in similar weather. But this seems to only apply to cold weather holidays...

whatevs. anyway. today's friday. the weather's nice. I wore jeans to work today for the first time and the class i just had was not bad. Therefore, i'm in a good mood lol. Not to mention, the class i'm supposed to have right now is cancelled (for me) cause they have midterms next week and my co-teacher wanted to finish teaching them the chapter, so i'm off the hook. Ah~ what a beautiful day~~ XDD

That class is the one with Duck Boy. I discovered that in this class, one student would often respond to anything even remotely funny with a loud nasally "haha" (think that bully in the simpsons whose name i can't remember right now...was it nelson?) So...i decided to dub him "Duck Boy" cause he reminded me of a duck. lulz. Anyway Duck Boy has now come up with something else he likes to do, but this isn't limited to class time, he does this in the hallways too lol. These days, my one-on-one conversations with Duck Boy go like this:

Duck Boy (usually coming out of nowhere): HI.
Me: Hi
DB: BYE
Me: Bye...
DB: HI.
Me:...HI.
DB: BYE.
Me: BYE.
DB: Hi
Me: HI. BYE. HI. BYE. HI. BYE.
DB:...HI.

And this will all happen without any real breaks in the "conversation." Also it'll take place when I'm just standing in the hall/sitting somewhere/walking to or from class/be IN class before it starts or after it ends. lol, at first i was like: ....really?? But now i think it's kinda funny and when i see him, as soon as he says the first "hi" and "bye" I whip out the "hibyehibyehibyehibye" The other kids walking around seem to get a kick out of this too.

XD I have some of the most random interactions with individual students. They're so entertaining, lolol. Some girls like to fake me out with high fives, only to "jelly fish" their hands away when i go to give them one. And I'm only starting to catch on now, wtf haha. There's also still some students who never fail to tell me they love me XD I thought it would die out, and for the most part it has (down to just hellos from everyone) but there are still those who say it XD One girl always does the heart above her head with her arms and says it. In fact, this always happens at lunch when i'm walking to the table. Pretty sure it's happened every day this week...lulz

Anyway, I don't have class again til 1:10, 3 hours from now...either i'm going to die of boredom at my desk...or i'll write another blog entry before lunch. we'll see~
