good news! so far, my classes are awesome. i'm totally excited about the great type class i'm taking and am happy happy happy to find my teacher is committed to my learning :) (as i am). also, i have started a very interesting family fun night meeting at my mom's house; my cousins and i get together and we play cranium! it's really fun, even they, in their teenageness, think it's fun. everyone ends up spending the night and we hang out the next morning together. the greatest thing about family fun night? we have a rotating trophy: the trollie! (trough-ley). everyone covets the mystical trollie, as his stand states that which no one will say outloud: "i won because i'm BETTER than you." so the thing is that when you win the trollie, you add something to the trophy; like for example, you braid his hair, or put glitter on him, or make him new clothes, etc. all in all, cranium family fun nights are actually fun and everyone has a good time and is a sore loser :)
