Birthday/Impostor Teacher

So for my birthday Johno took me to a fancy resort and we swam and watched movies and played tennis and did everything that I love. It was ridiculous amounts of fun. It was gone before you I knew it! Happy 26 to me! I have the best husband ever!

So I started teaching at Mesa Community College this week. I feel like a total impostor! I walked in on the first day and I saw the first years and second years sitting on the opposite sides of a big clinic waiting room. I walked over to the second years since thats who I will be teaching. One of them turned to me and said, um....are you a first year because if you are you should be over there and you arent wearing the right color of scrubs. I just looked at her and said no...i am not a first year. She looked back at me for a second really confused and said, well we are dental hygiene students. I said oh.... Then she said, are you supposed to be in here? I said....yeah i think so. I am your new teacher. Then she looked me straight in the face and said, what? how old are you? are you sure? I said 26 and yes.

Since then we have just done clinic procedure stuff. They arent allowed to call me Alysson. They have to call me Mrs. Hunt which is weird since most of them are either older than me or we are the same age. Weird. Sometimes I dont answer though. I am still getting used to this Mrs. Hunt thing. I am not Mrs. Hunt....I guess I am but I still dont answer right away when called that. I have to think about it. I think they think I am bogus. Its hilarious. Tonight we reviewed piezo's. When I was telling them how to use it I think they were shocked that it wasnt a big practicle joke but that I actually am their teacher. Most of the time I feel confused because I still feel like i should be in school. the other teachers dont really mix with the students. The teachers go over and stand behind a desk when there is any down time. i feel weird with them so I just stay with the students. i guess that further perpetuates my impostor teacher status. Oh well. The other teachers arent as fun as the students.

Olympics....and Anatomy??? and hopefully this doesnt offend anyone....

Ok so can I just say that I LOVE the olympics. I think it is great. Everyone comes together and America competes with everyone and we all have pride for our countries and we cheer each other on. It is fantastic! However....I do have certain reservations about attire that the athletes wear.
For instance, the famed swimmer Michael Phelps. I realize that they have these new suits designed by NASA to make them swim faster and glide through the water like never before. I mean, they have pretty much set new American and World records for nearly every event since the new suits were introduced. BUT....I just dont understand what happens when he turns around. I was surfing the web and I found this picture with an article about American Olympic Gold Hopefuls. I decided to read it and this was the picture they had of him.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE TURNS AROUND??? IS HE ANATOMICALLY DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PEOPLE???? I just don't understand. I mean he has to have a butt......right? It just doesn't make any sense!!!

We MOVED!! Heres why.....

As it turns out there is a drain around the corner from our apartment. One of the maintenance people had put a cap on that drain and that meant that the torrent of rain we received on a Sunday afternoon had no where to go but in our apartment. Thankfully we have some of the best ward members ever. They were there in a flash to help us get some of our furniture on bricks. When they finally gave us a new place to live (24 hours later, and without air conditioning for the first week) the ward showed up in full force to help us move up the three flights of stairs. They were amazing and it was so humbling to see how a ward family can step in and help you when you need it most. Now we are three flights up and if we have any leaks or water problems up here....I think I might jump.



Our doormat floated away!! You can see how high the water got on this picture.


This is after they had uncapped the drain and the water was going down.

He can brush....but can he floss....

Ok so I know some of you may think this is overboard but I can give you a very long list of reasons why this is necessary. Just ask Duane if you don't believe me! He is so cute!
