I'm applying to teach in Spain. I applied late, so I might not get it. I find out at the end of April.

I started dating an Indian guy. He called me last night worried my parents might disapprove. I assured him they did not care and more likely his mom will never like me because I'm not Indian. He seems think she'll "fall in the Carolyn trap" whereby allegedly the people around me cannot dislike me.

He has a lot of these cutesy compliments and I say, "thank you," and he says he's just stating the truth. I think I could really keep this one around ... if I don't move to Spain in August.

True story this happened to me. One non-sex based reason even Catholics should have access to birth control. What really angers me is seeing things like this:

How many women are testifying about birth control in a Congressional hearing today? Zero.

I got this in my email. At first I was like, do I know this chick? Then she started talking about her nude chatroom and I was like, "Nope definitely not." Also, I don't have balls nor am I into chicks. Still very weird:

Michael's mother called me a couple of months ago on accident. I told her about work and how I felt like I was making a difference, but also how I missed Michael and a bunch of other stuff too. His sister messaged me on facebook about a week ago. She said,

"Hey Carolyn!

My mom told me about accidentally calling you the other day, and about how you're teaching Pre-K now. She mentioned that you bought books for your kids, since some of them had never had a book, and she wanted to take some of the money we got from Michael's life insurance (we don't want to keep it for ourselves) and use it to buy them some more books for them for Christmas. I'm starting Grad school in January to become an elementary school librarian, so I especially like this idea!

So if you'd like to do this, just let us know what book you already got for them, and how many students you have, and my mom and I will take care of the rest!

Hope you're doing well, and if you want to get together sometime, I would love to."

I just wanted to share this because it's amazingly selfless of them and I'm amazingly touched. More to follow with updates on how the children react.

Also, I'm allergic to them.

See something red on my hand. "Ooo Ketchup!" Put hand in mouth "I didn't eat Ketchup today. This is Paint." Go wash hands and think about how the more I work with 4-5 years olds the more I act like a 4-5 year old.
