I'm FREEEEEEEE!

Well I did it! I finished my last two exams today! yaaaaaaaaaay! It feels so weird to not have homework, studying, or reading that I have to do. What will I do with myself? Alyssa and I are going to "Marshalls" grand opening today before work! I hope they have a TON of good deals going on.

Well it is officially my first time voting this Monday. I think last time there was an election I had to go right from school to work and didn't vote....bad me! :( On Monday, one of my five year old students was telling me how his grandma went on vacation so he told me who she voted for since she voted early. lol. He then asked me who I was voting for. I didn't feel the need to tell a 5 YR OLD kid !!! lol So I just said "I don't know." Then he said "Are you voting for the one that wants Quebec to leave Canada? DO YOU want them to LEAVE?" ha ha ha! "Um.... no :) I want Quebec to stay!" He is one of the funniest yet smartest 5 yr olds I know.

Last night I was in bed when I heard something outside my window. I got all scared thinking it was a bat. We have had bats in our house MANY times before and they scare me to death! One time Jenn woke up in the night and heard something in her room, she sat up and a bat flew into her head! HA HA HA! Another time Jenn & I thought we heard a bat outside her room...so we took a frisbee (ya I don't understand our reasoning there) and a baseball bat, ready to conquer the world. But there was no bat, I think it was a leaf. This last year we had a bat that kept coming back into our house but it always escaped when my dad tried to catch it. I remember Alyssa waking me up SO many nights saying "THE BAT IS BACK!" And we would squeal and run up the stairs and get my dad but the bat always escaped. My mom one night woke up around 2 and thought "I will see if the bat is back." Sure enough it was! She got my dad (Alyssa & I were sleeping) and my dad blocked the fireplace so the bat couldn't escape.  My dad got a broom and SMACKED that thing and if I recall correctly his "broom swinging arm" hurt him for the next for weeks! ha ha.  All this to say bats were scary BEFORE when I had sisters living in the basement with me....but NOW... they are way scarier since I'm all alone. So I got up and banged on my window hoping to scare the "bat" away. Then I got all scared and starting texting Jonny
Me :"A BAT IS going to come in my room and BITE ME AND GIVE ME RABIES AND I WILL DIE."
Jonny: "You won't die"
Me: "Well what happens to people with rabies?"
Jonny: "They die."
Me: "Then WHY did you just say I won't die? Look it up! I need to KNOW!"
It was 11:49 PM by now....Jonny looked it up
Jonny: "You would die!"
Me: "How FAST? WOULD I die INSTANTLY?"
Jonny: "Pretty soon, but they can give treatments for it."
Me: "Well who HAS rabies?"
Jonny: "Raccoons"
Me: "WHO ELSE?"
Jonny: "Mainly raccoons, skunks, foxes, coyotes, and BATS!"
thanks jonny.... thanks ALOT
After another few minutes of me telling him "I am sleeping with my light on. Are bats afraid of light? Actually, I just won't sleep." He texts back "It's EXTREMELY RARE for bats to have rabies!" ya NOW he lies to me ;)...actually maybe it's true. I'm too scared to look it up! But this morning I told him it was a MEAN thing to tell me all THAT about bats and he SHOULD NOT HAVE told me. He said "you asked, what did you want me to do....lie?" Ummmm YES! I do hope it was just a leaf outside my window :S
