It was Spirit Week at ISL in preparation for the MS girls' soccer tournament which ISL hosted, and for Halloween.
Monday was Pajama Day. (Monday is Always Pajama Day during spirit week, and no one complains! hehe)
Tuesday was Multiple Day (twins, triplets, ...). Rorey, Bekah, and I all have the same pants, so we went for it!
Wednesday was Formal Day. I work with small children and trip over air on occasion. I wasn't about to risk my life and wear heels! Also, I don't have any. haha. I did look for a tiara, but had no success. So a simple black dress it was.
Thursday was Sports Day (another favorite). I wore my comfy yoga pants and an MSU sweatshirt! I have a few Americans in my class this year, and two of them have ties to Michigan. It's still weird sometimes to see a student walk in with a Wings or Lions T-shirt on, or he wears his Michigan gear. Just to get me. :)
Friday was Book Character Day. I never knew there were so many stories about werewolves and vampires. ;) I was a black cat. This year, there was a parade in the elementary school and some festive stations where the kids played a game or did a dance. And then there was a real 'dance' where they could dance in the gym. Or run around and scream a lot, which is what I imagine it largely was. There was a 'book corner' in the cafeteria for the kids who didn't want to be in the noisy gym and I was assigned to the book corner... planed that well! It was an extra blessing since I've had a scratchy throat all week, and by Friday afternoon I really didn't have a voice at all! My students thought it was a Halloween trick... if only.
Saturday was Halloween, and in an effort to do something truly terrifying... I went to work on a Saturday!! (Insert screams -- oh wait, I still have no voice!) Rorey is one of the soccer coaches and had to be at the school bright and early on Saturday, so I caught a ride with her and put in almost another full day of work. It actually felt really nice! I have so much to do!! Even after 6 hours of work, I still felt like I could have, and should have, stayed.
But ISL was playing for 1st place in the tournament! So I braved the bitter chill and went to cheer them on... you know, with my non-voice. hehe! They ended up getting 2nd place but the tournament was a success, and so was my work day. I had planned to go out with friends for a fun night of shenanigans, but decided it was probably best to invest some medicine and try to kick the cold before Monday.
