fleas bite!

so ive been bitten by fleas before, and it sucks, but this time its worse. i guess some people are more likely to get bitten than others, and then some have bad allergic reactions. so apparently im one of those people. i had bites on my leg at first, and they itch so bad that i make myself bruise. then they spread on my leg, and up my lower back. i even have some on my arms. i thought i must have been bitten again, maybe one living in my bed, but because of my body´s reaction, my host family tells me that im just badly allergic like their son and the bumps keep spreading. i think thats what happened before, but it was just on my stomach. oh gosh im dying! itches so freakin bad! ive made myself bleed! im using creams, took a syrup, oh gosh i hope they go away. and the thing about flea bites, is they last about 2 weeks! oh fun!

jealous arent ya now? :)

the sweetest thing...

I hear some wonderful compliments and nice things from my students, but this one really touched me. Its from a third grader, Victoria, who wrote me a card today.

in Spanish she wrote: yo se que para algunos es muy difícil inglés, pero con una profesora como usted, siempre se aprende.
Translation: I know that for some English is very difficult, but with a teacher like you, it is learned.
