OMG I can't believe I forgot about this....
A couple of days ago, a kid comes in with his ankle all wrapped up.
I asked, "Jerry, what did you do to your leg?"
Jerry responds, "I pulled a testicle."
Trying not to laugh out loud, "I think you mean tendon."
"Uh, maybe a tendon. Tendon...testicle... (??? Puzzled expression). No, it was a testicle. I definitely pulled my testicle."
"Jerry, I'm pretty sure you mean tendon."
Jerry mumbles....
I had to get up and leave. He was never going to take my word for it.
And now he's going around telling everyone he pulled his testicle.

Avoiding Homework...
Hello all!
I'm avoiding studying so I thought I'd give an update on the current events of the Kyla household.
On Saturday Kyle and I signed the lease for our new apartment! We're moving in the weekend of May 15th so mark your calendars! My plan is to rent a U-Haul truck and try to move as much as humanly possible that weekend. I'll be starting summer school the following Monday and will also be working so this is when we'll have to do the "big" move. I probably won't try to re-paint this old apartment the same weekend-we don't officially have to be out of here until the end of May so I have a little time. I'm not going to ask anyone to help us move that doesn't want to...but I will be providing lots of food and drinks for those that do :D
On for some bad news...our fish tank exceeds the maximum weight limit in our new apartment by 3 times. We're not supposed to have anything heavier than 40 lbs/square foot and out tank is over 100 lbs/square foot. So obviously it's way too heavy to even try to set it up and that means we have to sell our fish :( I've thought a lot about what I want to do. We put so much time and energy into getting this tank and keeping the fish I feel it would be a waste to just give it all away. So I think the plan is to sell the fish to a fish store, put the tank in storage, and use the stand as a dresser in the guest bedroom.
On to better news- I'm going to pass Biochemistry!!!!!! I've passed BOTH of my tests so far (by some miracle of God). HURRAY!!!!
Alright girlies- here's the tentative plan for Christina's bachlorette party: I think I'd like to do it sometime in June in my new apartment. Krishna said that a lot of Christina's friends live in Raleigh so it may be more convenient for them to find my place. I'd like for it to be a lingerie party so I'm planning on doing it later in the afternoon (maybe 5 or 7?) and I'll have lots of food and drinks. That's all I'm going to write on here so if you have any other questions email me about it. Also, let me know if there are any days in June that are better or worse for you. I'd like for everyone to be able to come. It's going to be an awesome time!
That's all for now. Hope everyone is doing well and keeping warm. It's almost Spring!
Love, Laura

Bragging TIme
I thought this would be the best way to let everyone know that I've been accepted to the VCU Brandcenter! It was my first choice for grad school and its competitive so I'm excited. Working on the application pretty much consumed several months of my life so here it is if you'd like to see what I've been up to. (Parts may look weird since the print version was 2 page spreads not single pages, but you'll get the idea).
I also entered 4 things in the student portion of the Raleigh-Durham ADDY Awards and 3 of them are finalists (different categories). The award show is is on Friday at which point I'll find out how each one placed (1st - 3rd).

New Year's Resolution
Hello everyone!
I hope you all had a very happy Christmas and New Year's! Kyle and I are finally done with our rounds and are relaxing in the apartment.
We were up in Boone for most of the week before and after Christmas. My house lost power from Christmas day until the next Monday. But thankfully Kyle's house did not lose power so we were able to go over there to shower. We also had a huge tree fall down in our road along with several smaller ones AND another huge one in my driveway. Kyle and Woody cut down the tree in the road on Christmas day and then cut down the tree in my driveway the following day. Kyle has war wounds to prove it.
Christine's boo couldn't stand to be away so he drove up from Wilmington to Boone on Monday and then we rolled out Wednesday. Kyle and I spent New Year's in Wilmington with Tine and Logan and got to see his Spartan-like apartment. Very clean, big furniture and TV- it was pretty nice. Their current plans include moving to West Virginia when Christine graduates. So naturally we made fun of her. For her Christmas gift, Woody bought an atlas and ripped out all the maps except for WV. It was pretty awesome.
I am beginning the last full-time/full-load of classes for my college career! I worked my ass off last semester (literally and metaphorically) and bumped my GPA up a full 0.1 point which is extremely hard to do with over 120 hours. This semester I'll be taking BioChem and hope to get my GPA up even more before I apply for Student Teaching.
Kyle and I will definitely be moving out of this apartment in May. We are also going on a cruise to celebrate my mom's ??th birthday. (I told Kyle we're not allowed to talk about it haha). We're also going out to California to celebrate Kyle's great-grandmother's 90th birthday the weekend of July 24th. She flew all the way to NC by herself for our wedding in August and has no plans to slow down. It's pretty impressive and we're both really excited to go out and see her.
So my New Year's Resolution? Continue working on my awesome bod and saving up enough money to go on a cruise, fly out to CA, and moving into a new apartment!! :) It's going to be an awesome year and I look forward to graduating, watching Christina and Krishna plan their wedding, being with friends, and continuing on with married life!
Can't wait to see you all!
Love, Laura S.

Poor Ignored Blog
It's been almost a full month since the last post on the Beacherblog, so I thought I would fill everyone in on my Christmas travel plans.
I'm flying into Charlotte on Friday (the 18th) and spending the weekend at Stephanie's house in Elkin. On Sunday I'll head up to Boone and work from home on Monday and Tuesday. Starting Wednesday, I'm off work and in Boone through the Jan 3, when I fly back to NY.
Hope I'll be overlapping with everyone in Boone at some point. When will you all be around?

Love to eat turkey
Hey Guys!
I hope that everyone is having a great week! I am writing with some details about our friends thanksgiving dinner at Krishna's house in the mountains on the Saturday after Thanksgiving (Nov. 28th). We are inviting all of the beachers and also the Ashley and Placentra families. We plan on having people over at 5 pm and having dinner around 6:30. We are going to make a ton of turkey and everyone can bring whatever side or dessert that you wish- just please let me know in advance so that we can cover that stuff that no one will be bringing! I know that Laura is going to bring her yummy ranch potatoes which I am def looking forward to! Also we need to know who will be coming so that we can figure out how much food to make: I think that Stephanie will not be up there at that time? and I don't know if Bob will be up in that area on Saturday either? I know that Jordan and Kevin will be able to come, but later after his brother's NC State/UNC game get-together, which is no problem- we want as many people to come as can and it should be a really great time!!! So- lemme know who can come and when and what side or dessert you would like to bring- we are open to whatever you guys want to make!
In other news, Krishna had his Duke interview today which he really enjoyed. Also, we found out today that Krishna has been invited to interview at the University of FL at Gainesville and I have been invited to interview at Emory!
Happy birthday in advance to Laura!!! And I am totally excited about seeing New Moon on Sat. with Angie and Jordan (and believe it or not, with Krishna! closet-twilight fan?! you decide...)
Love,
Christina
