Let's start today's entry off with a shoutout to today's reader-of-the-day, Emily! (Is that gonna be a thing now? I'm not sure, I'll decide later) Glad you like my blog, Emily. And no, Samantha didn't tell me to do this, promise.
Anyway, last day of work today. We showed the movies that we have been working on for the past three weeks to the kids and the parents that came. Each class loved the movie that they made, but they always thought that the other movies were boring. Probably because they didn't know anyone else in the other movies and thus, couldn't laugh at them.
The parents had a similar reaction. They only liked the movie that their kid was in. Hell, some of them even left after they showed their kid's movie, which was a shame since all of the classes' movies were surprisingly decent. You know. As decent as a movie filmed, directed, lighted, and acted entirely by first graders can get.

Sometimes the movie did get pretty hard to watch, especially when there were long stretches of silence. But considering that Bartels had to edit three movies in one day by herself, I don't blame her for leaving it as a rough cut. Editing's hard work.
So since it was our last day of work as PM aides for Gateways, all of us TAs decided to get a little picture crazy. Huge thanks to Erin for letting me use some of her pictures! I'm not sure exactly how much publicity she wants for letting me use her pictures, so I guess I'll just say that in the next picture, she's the second one from the left.
Here's a picture with me and most of the people I got to know during work.

Young Woo also wanted Robert and I to take these three pictures.

Interestingly, if you click on one of those pictures and switch quickly to the other two using your left and right arrow keys, it sort of looks like we're shaking our hips. Sort of like one of those Captain Underpants "Flip O'Rama's."
Here's that "Flip O'Rama" in gif form.

Here's a group picture with most of the PM aides.

And another one, except where we wore our aprons like superhero capes, as suggested by Young Woo.

I think this next picture's my favorite though, since I look like I'm 100% done with Tiffany.

First thing that I bought with my paycheck? Sushi. Yes, sushi.
...Okay, technically it's not sushi, it was a California Roll, but whatever. Also took my family to eat at Boston Market. My treat, since I just got paid.
I'm just kidding, they practically forced me to pay for their food. But the food was delicious and only cost 20 dollars, so I guess it was worth it. Oh, and I got to take this Snapchat of my sister too.
 |
| Creepy, huh? |
And I think I accidentally marked the end of my summer because look at what I bought.
 |
| "NO. TOO EARLY, MICHAEL. IT'S ONLY DAY 27!" |
Oh, and I also watched a triplet birthing video with Samantha. No big deal. We're just weird I guess.
