The Bird is the Word...

Ok peps, time to get serious. I am being driven insane...by a bird. It all began around the first week of school, so a month ago. Molly, my roommate, mentioned this annoying sound coming from outside. Low and behold, I am awoken to this mystery sound the next day...at 4:30 AM people! Then it stopped, until 5:30. The preciseness of this "bird" led me to believe that perhaps someone received the most annoying alarm clock possible for Christmas. It is also suck a strange sound, we couldn't place it. Well, after many investigations (Molly has actually gone out to the pool at 4:30 to track down the sound, twice.) we have come to the conclusion that it is, in fact, a bird. This is the most annoying bird I have never seen. I have also been wondering: If I shoot a BB gun randomly into the unknown, it wouldn't actually cause too serious of harm to whatever it hit, would it?

On top of the crazy bird, we also have our bathroom fan. Now, this fan has been running since we moved in. It doesn't seem to be attached to any switch and it just always makes noise. Day by day, I noticed it had been getting louder. In my room, it sounded like a washing machine off track. Then, one night I wake to what sounds like a Mac truck about to plow through my bedroom door. The fan is out of control. When I get up for the day Molly goes, "I almost woke you up. I thought we were going to have to evacuate before our place blew up." We talked to Tio, our handyman, and he "fixed" it...it has been getting louder each day...

Sorry, I have no pics for you, just a nice venting session! I shall leave you with my wise words from the classroom:

(We have been graphing quadratic equations-they are parabolas with vertexes.)
"Ms. K, I think I graphed this quadratic wrong. I can't seem to find the climax."
"Yeah, that happens sometimes."

One boy, who has broken English, was drawing on my board while his friends kept trying to erase it:
"HEY, don't touch my thing!"
Took about 5 minutes for my boys to stop laughing...
