Siamo andate a Parigi

Hannah. Marg. Crystal. Mandi: The roommates take on Paris.

Pictures are worth THOUSANDS OF WORDS.

Loving each other in front of the Palace of Versailles!

BAAAAH ITS BEAUTIFUL!

More loving in front of the Palace Gardens.

Roommates (minus Teagan) at the Palace of Versailles!

YEAAAH BABY. Our hostel was just a few minutes from this beautiful site, as well as many sex shops and strip clubs. OHHH Paris.

FINALLY AT THE LOUVRE. Childhood dreams coming true.

So of course we have to goof off in front of world-famous historical monuments.

The Mona Lisa! (Somewhat famous, from what I've heard) WADDAP DA VINCI CODE.

Sharing a nutella-banana crepe on our walk to Notre Dame.

Loving puppies all over the world. This is why my parents never let me go to the Humane Society as a child. This dog wanted me to take him home SO BAD!! I swear, if I'd had another 1,000 euro....

In front of Hotel De Ville!

Mandi and I played this game at Notre Dame to see who could find St. Denis with his head cut off first. I won. WINNNAA.
St. Denis is behind me, holding his head, on the outside of Notre Dame.

Notre Dame. Bellisima!

Jardin du Luxembourg! 
The Eiffel Tower as seen from the top of the Arc de Triomphe.

In front of the Eiffel Tower at sunset!

Roomies at the Eiffel Tower. The BEST way to end our weekend. :)

Artsy shot.
Creme Brulee for dessert after a delicious dinner in France!
French onion soup.
Cheese fondue.
Creme Brulee.
YUM.

Mi piace Parigi.

Guest Post: Ms. Nelson

A note my dear teacher friend in Minnesota sent me that I think everyone (ESPECIALLY first year teachers, TFA and non-TFA) should read. Hannah, If we’re being honest here, this is the first time I’ve read your blog post, BUT, I’m very glad I did. And here’s why… I feel the same way. You are bored living in the Delta. I am bored living in St. Cloud. I feel there is no one here who is under the age of 30 and not married. My college roommate lives nearby, but she doesn’t like driving into town on the weekends. I drove out to see her a few times. Then I stopped. Since then, she’s seen me once, after work. She has yet to drive into town just to see me. I feel like I should make friends, but I spend 12 hours at school and I live alone. I tend to leave on the weekends so I can see people I know. So, I tell myself I don’t have time to make friends. I convince myself next semester will be easier. Maybe I’ll make friends then. As far as teaching goes, I’ve been barely keeping my head above w...

My beautiful and wonderful friend Anna Ayers Looby sent me a link today that really got me thinking.

Now, when your school and state have a deathly fear of failing and standards, objectives, mastery, and test scores are at the core of everything you do, it's easy to forget about the importance of educating well-rounded children. If you'd asked me to add physical activity to my classroom during my first year of teaching, I probably would have started crying (ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME I CAN HARDLY GET ALL THE...
