Getting back into blogging / 06.05.08, 09:33 AM

So among many things I have been really exceptionally bad at blogging. So in an attempt to get better at sharing stories about my mission year experience and using this wonderful resource I thought I would share a quick humorous story.

The school that I work at use a company called Foss to supply kits for all their science experiments. At the end of a unit the collect the big cardboard draws that all the supplies come in and send another for the next unit. Because the year is ending the school is collecting any remaining Foss kits in their building. So Last week I got to carry a bunch of the cardboard Foss kits that have sat stacked at the back of our room for months down to the office. When I went to lift the kits closest to the floor up I couldn’t lift them. Turns out the cleaning ladies when they waxed the floors didn’t move the kits and essentially waxed them to the floor. So after talking to the principal and being told I need to get the kits down to office at all costs I went to see about pulling these kits up. I was initially worried about breaking the kits (they are essentially glorified cardboard boxes) but when I pulled up the second kit I got a surprise; the floor tiles came up with it. I was pretty much dying in laughter in the back of the room and the kids for some reason couldn’t understand what was so funny. Hopefully you are more amused by the story then they were. If not, hey at least I’m blogging again.

Blessings from New Orleans
