P52 / 17 / techno

This week I had the privilege of chaperoning a high school field trip to Winterthur, Switzerland. The destination: Technorama! An incredibly awesome hand-on science museum that I have fallen in love with! Here are few shots from the day.

P52 / 03 / random

This week's topic is Random. The collage I made sums up what was quite possibly the most random event of my week. Our staff office has two large windows that overlook a field and a small driveway. One afternoon I just happened to look up from my desk to see a group of students dressed in colorful wigs, capes, and oversized sunglasses running wildly towards Brandon, a teacher who was holding up a camera. The whole scene was quite entertaining but SO random. Turns out they were filming a commercial for an upcoming spirit day!

If I weren't relying solely on my webcam I would have much better pictures than this but a crappy picture is better than no picture at all, right?

#344: SADCC Day 11: the fake knot

Forgive the poor quality of today's pic - all my batteries are dead so I had to resort to using the webcam on my computer.

Also, I've graduated to Roman numerals because, well, I only have 10 fingers. Can you see the XI? It kiiinda looks like I'm flashing a gang sign but I promise I'm not. Word.

Monday after school someone accidentally turned off the power strip, which the fridge was plugged into. Tuesday was a day off. Wednesday morning... we had to do this:

#216: happy dance of the century

You may remember my recent luggage woes from this post and this post. After a full WEEK without, I was finally reunited with my last piece of luggage. Word of advice - don't bother with British Airways. This bag contained all my nice warm-weather clothing, which means for the past week I've been spotted around town wearing gym shorts. Awesome. Welcome back, shorts and capris, I've missed you!!

#211: saturday's stress

Aside from sleeping until 1:30 pm (yay jetlag) and venturing out for groceries, the only thing I did today was call British Airways' baggage service every four hours to check the status of my two missing bags. Oh, joy.
