behold the handmaid of the Lord

be it done to me according to your will...

Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.
-Ephesians 4:1-6

let's do this.

does anyone know how to post videos on blogger?!?! i humbly implore your help as i have quite THE VIDEO to show.

wave hi to the camera!

oh man, i'm dying of laughter...

dude, my dad has a blog.



in other news, i started fixing up my classroom today!!! there's lots to do and so much to clean and organize! some of my future students were at school helping out so i got to meet them. already some interesting comments came about:

- "so...you wear dunks? cool. got the fantastic 4's?"

- "hollister...cool."

- "you're not gonna leave are you? all the young teacher's we ever get leave eventually."

- "how old are you?"

- "you gotta watch out for all the gossip around here. it get's bad sometimes."

- "you're cool."

and my ultimate favorite:

- "see! i told you her name was ms. haw!!! you know, like 'haw, haw, haw'!!!" (ugh, flashbacks to gradeschool. perhaps i should stick with ms. h?)

i was there for about 5 hours and made just a small dent in what i have to do. i'm trying to figure out a way to paint the walls without having to move everything. AND i'm having a hard time deciding what colors to use!!! oh well...perhaps i'll peruse through the new ikea catalog to get some ideas.

i'm really excited for our visitors to come up here!!! i hope we do sf justice and that you guys won't be bored. bring jackets...it's a bit chilly!
