How was your long weekend? Share any anecdotes from your summer teaching experience as well.

MY WEEKEND: Rode over 25miles on my new bike, Chicago Fire game, family BBQ, & patio projects

# data[].attributes.body
I went and saw fireworks with my boyfriend and then to end the night, a coolant pipe in my car burst and my car was smoking so now I have to drive my mom's car until my parent's come back from vacation. But the plus side is my sister and I got our kitten yesterday!!

I went to see the city fireworks for the long weekend. At my STE a pre k student started school for the first time EVER and it's been pretty rough for him. He cried for about 2.5 hrs straight so we've learned that someone has to be reading a book to him at all times.

I got to have a bbq almost every day. Lit up the night sky with a bunch of fireworks. Plus I found a treasure hunt Hot Wheel. I was super pumped.

Over the long weekend i took my partner home to meet some of my extended family, and then I got food poisoning (thank gods my partner didn't) so i haven't been able to go to my teaching experience until i can provide a negative Covid test due to their safety protocols. But i saw a really cool lazer show instead of fireworks.

I spent my long weekend moving my cat into my apartment. I didn't do anything fun for the fourth of July. I had to work that night :(

If you were to get a tattoo, what would it be of? If you have one (or more), what is (are they) it of?!

Share any anecdotes from your summer placement as well!

BERNARDO: I have an elephant tattoo that says "pamilya", the Tagalog word for family.

I am really wanting to get a floral piece on my thigh. I already have a cat and music note tattoo on my arm and I have a mockingbird on my ankle!

I have this tattoo that matches with my sister and my mom and then the hearts are our favorite color (mine is red) and my mom's hearts are teal.

There really 2 I want to get, one ill probably be getting within the next like 2 months is a little L and R on my hands to dictate left and right as my brain has trouble processing that (thanks ADHD) and then one I wanna get later down the line is a cats skull kinda getting "reclaimed" by nature/vegetation. but i don't have any currently.

If I were to get a tattoo, it would probably be "哎呀," it kinda means "oops" or something like that. my grandma used to say it a lot and it made me laugh and I say it all the time because of her.

I would want the mark of cain. It's religion based and I think the story is meaningful.

What is your ideal vacation? Tell us where you would go and what you would do.

I travel A LOT so I'll just describe my most upcoming one: Going to LA tomorrow & will spend a couple days w/my cousin then hike in Joshua Tree for the weekend.

I want to travel through Europe in an Old Car all by myself. I want to see the UK, France, and Germany. I love getting to try new things, especially food.

# data[].attributes.body
I really want to go out of the country at some point, probably some place in Europe where you can easily see multiple countries and places in one trip. That or going to Ireland or Germany. Mostly to kinda go to museums and stuff and try local foods. one of my favorite things each year is getting authentic German food when the Kris Kringle mart comes to Chicago.

My brother and I always talk about doing an Asia trip and just going to a bunch of different cities if we could. We've both been to Beijing already separately (with our schools) but it would be cool to go together.

# data[].attributes.body
my ideal vacation would probably be in the DR just because it is so beautiful and the water is clear. I like going on different excursions around the resort and just chilling on the beach.

How do you describe your family to others? Who did you live with growing up & what was it like?

BERNARDO: I'm the middle of 5 siblings and grew up in multi-general households my whole life (at one point, 14 people in a 4 bedroom, 2 bath!) It was loud, hectic, and I grew to really love it.

# data[].attributes.body
I describe my Family as my best friends. It's a big thing in my life. I like to tease it's like fast and the furious because we are all so connected.

# data[].attributes.body
My family is very group-oriented and we do a lot of things all together such as meals and activities. I have divorced parents since I was like 10 and so I've always had two household which means double holidays and presents :)

# data[].attributes.body
My family and I are very close! I have my parents and my younger brother.

# data[].attributes.body
I grew up with two sisters. My older sister is my half sister and my younger sister is my full sister. I am very close with my cousin so she is basically another sister. We always had family supper and it was always loud but we always had a good time.

# data[].attributes.body
Im an only child so it was always just me and my parents and they often worked late so i was usually on my own. Due to that i grew up always going to my cousins houses.
