Starting today, Monday, we have a week off from school for Mardi Gras. Today my roommate, Jonny, had planned a hike with his 8th grade students. He asked if I wanted to go along so I went and brought Jean and Amos from the sophomore class. Jonny and I wanted these two to go on the hike because we weren't able to go on a hike this past Saturday. The hike turned out to be between an hour and a half to two hours. It was a lot of fun. Jonny has some funny students in his class. I really enjoy hiking, but sometimes it is more fun just listening to the students having fun. It's good for a change to hang out with them when they can goof around and be themselves outside of class. After the hike, Jonny invited them back to our house to watch a movie and to have lunch. I didn't stick around because I was invited to have lunch with Thom and Cara. I went over to their place, had lunch and then watched a couple episodes of "I Shouldn't Be Alive" that I have on DVD.
