I have had quite a few encounters with the world's grossest insect lately.
1. One downside to MTR housing is the cockroaches. I am known as Virginia 'Slayer' Boyd and typically come to the rescue when my roommate discovers one in our apartment. I have even been called to come over and kill cockroaches at other residents' apartments.
2. I came across the perfect gift for my roommate:
If only it didn't cost $40!
3. One of my students asked to go to the restroom, and I don't trust him to go straight there and back so I stood in the doorway so I could watch him go down the hall and come back. When he came back in he leaned over to one of his friends to tell him something and then walk back to where he was supposed to be sitting.His friend looked on the floor and said, "Eww" then someone else said, "There's a cockroach!" That student had picked up a dead cockroach and brought it back into the classroom, so I had him clean it up and go back to the restroom to wash his hands again. It is just part of everyday life when you are with 15 year old boys all day!

Hahaha... there was a TINY (although freakishly quick) cockroach in our classroom a few weeks ago and the girls were screaming that there was a "rat or something" in the back of the room. It was seriously half the length of my pinky nail, and they swore up and down to me that we had a rat in the room.
ReplyDeleteOK, cockroaches are disgusting. That might even beat my recent round of battling head lice. Bugs - in whatever capacity - are gross. For real.
