Theres no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid people

Ok, well maybe not. I just thought that this saying was extra funny because of the subject matter that I am about to address, so I'll start at the beginning. I received an email from the floral dept asking for art pieces so they could do floral interpretations of them for the floral show. I thought that sounded interesting so I gave them my number and eventually I got a call from some girl. I showed her pictures over the internet and I let her decide which project she wanted to pick. She ended up choosing the "Bridge Under Construction" one.

I really like how she hung the rocks from it! She went really abstract with it and I think that hers was the best one (I'm not biased or anything.) Anyway, the day of the show I called up Heather and we went to the show (McKay was in the testing center). We had just found my sculpture when I got a call from McKay saying that he was out and was coming up. So we waited for him but as we were waiting we eavesdropped on all the people walking past us (this is where the "stupid people" comment ties in). Here is some of the things we heard:

"Is that a cake?"
"ha ha ha ha!"
"What is that?"
"Did she make that?"
"Is that a cake?"
"Interesting"
"Oh, it's a cone thing."
"That is a...."
"Is that a cake?"
"Daddy, is that clay?"
"Some people do some really strange art."
"Oh, man!"
"I don't get it."
"Is that a cake?"
"They are going to use it to make Cheese Wiz."
"That's Jessica's. It says so."
"What the... is that?"
"Is that a cake Daddy?

McKay looks nice and innocent in this beautiful scenery but really he jumped into the picture. Thanks a lot babe.

This cake was seriously the best cake in the whole show! I love it! (above)
This table arrangement of orchids is soooo pretty! When I'm rich I'll have one of these arrangements in my house. (below)

I love this arrangement and I took a picture of it not knowing that Ashley (the girl who did my ceramic project) did this one. After we saw each other in person we both realized that we were in the same ceramic class together.

This was in their Japanese themed room I love the woven snakegrass placemats! Awesome!

Winter...

Sometimes I like to pretend that winter is almost over. Most of the time I try to refrain from this optimistic attitude. Usually I wouldn't be so negative, but Rexburg isn't famous for spring in March, or even April for that fact. Last year it snowed in June. So I have decided that I will keep my mindset that it is still winter so that way I won't get let down. Even if the weather does tease us with warm spring-y temperatures in the 40's, I will not be convinced that we are in spring. My bet is that we will get at least 2 more snowstorms before "real" spring.

A couple of days ago, when I was skipping inservice, whoa... I mean, McKay came and brought me flowers for no reason. Sigh. I love flowers. It makes it feel much more spring-y and happy.

Yeah, you probably caught that... I skipped inservice. Yeah, I don't care. My cooperating teacher said I didn't have to go, because he was going to another meeting in some other city. Hah ha! Let me tell you, it was awesome! I loved not going and I don't regret it. Inservice is stupid. It's pretty much just a waste of time. The last one I went to they were teaching us how to use a search engine... ooooOOOO! Really didn't need to be there for that one. Maybe they should put an age requirement or a technology aptitude test so that way you don't have to go listen to "searching for articles/images/other" for four hours.

So McKay and I did something fun this weekend. We fed ducks. Yeah, we're really wild.

While McKay was feeding the ducks he noticed that if you dangle the bread in front of the geese they will try to jump for it. It was funny watching the them try to jump.

I am not sure why this clip wont play all of the way but if you skip forward you can see more.

I got my new tri kids this week and they are awesome! I will let everyone know how that goes later... this is enough posting for one day.

dead dogs and children

The tri just switched yesterday so I no longer have any of the kids that I used to have. I will get a new batch of kids on Mon. That makes me sad... wait... no, not really. I really liked my 4th hour history class though (pictured below), they were the most fun.

My 2nd hour history class was horrible, there was only eight students in that class. Three of those students showed up once every two weeks, another three hung out with the wrong crowd and was doped up all the time, and that left only two who were relatively normal. It was pretty depressing.

Sometimes these kids say the weirdest things. They are all in the stage where they are trying to be cool but they don't know what they are talking about. Yesterday I heard two of my kids talking about sushi. It went something like this:

1: "Have you ever had sushi?"

2: "No."

1: "You haven't?! *gasp*"

2: "Do you even know what sushi is?"

1: "Yeah.... uhhh..... I know what it is. uhhhh.... uhhhh..... like raw fish? Have you ever had quiche?"

2: "No"

1: "It's exactly like sushi."

sure it is...

A couple of days ago Heather ran over to my apt and told me to come with her because there was something I should see. We went back to her apt and there was a dead dog partially wrapped in a garbage bag in her backyard. Very interesting. As we sat in her living room looking out at the bloodied corpse (this photo doesn't show the blood part) we discussed who could have put the dog there and why. We came up with many different scenarios and then we saw her korean neighbors come out and wrap it with more plastic bags. Her neighbors didn't own a dog and we found it very weird that they, all of the sudden, did. After her neighbors were done wrapping it they brought it into their house. We watched but they never left to throw it in the dumpster... dun da duuuuuun!

What happened to it? We will never know.
