Lissinia and a Few Random Things

•   Problem #81 with humidity: when all of your unused envelopes are sealed and you are forced to make your own.

•  The other night Katie and I were both going to the bathroom to brush our teeth, when I went to reach for my toothbrush and I noticed it was not in its usual perch. I looked closer at Katie and discovered, much to my amusement, that she was brushing away with my toothbrush. I was in the midst of telling her something about my day and I just casually threw in there “that’s my toothbrush.” She simultaneously screamed and laughed so that the toothpaste came spewing out of her mouth. Our other roommate, Monica, came running and found both of us doubled over laughing. You see, we have been talking about how strange it is that this hasn’t happened yet because they have the same cap and are similar in appearance. The appropriate thing for me to do would be throw the brush away and get a new one. Instead, I slapped some more toothpaste on it, brushed vigorously, and went to sleep.

• Our house has a new gate/fence that is incredibly tall and has barbed wire atop it. Consequently, it now looks like we live in a prison, but I could care less, it’s intimidating.

• Go Broncos.

• Yesterday Betsy (the Matriarch) sent me a short video clip that I watched in the staff room. It’s only three minutes long, but after I watched it the tears were streaming. Was it awkward? Yes. Worth it? Definitely. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEnEjJcvLiY

Why- Lissinia is one of those students that is repeatedly nominated student of the month for fourth form.

She is full of joy and is known for her love of throwing water balloons and buckets of water onto unsuspecting victims. Lissinia is one of those girls that everyone loves to be around because she can light up your day with just a smile.

We love you, Lissinia!
