Today, I was watching videos from 2010 that I made with my sister. We are absolutely crazy! I remember making some of them, and it feels like forever ago! But it's definitely a nice reflection and a great bonding experience between both of us :)

Today, I had two students come up and ask if I had to leave after this week. HOW PRECIOUS?!? With everything that's gone on these past two months I didn't think (or at least wasn't expecting) that I made that kind of impression on them! I have to say it's one of the best feelings in the world! THIS is why I teach <3 <3 <3

Today, I got to be a part of current culture and maybe even a little celebrity! Dustin has been tossing around ideas for a web comic strip, and he's been doing bits and pieces here and there to get it started. Well today, he let me help him finish the promo for the series which was awesome, but on top of that, we decided to make a cartoon music video for one of the bands he's produced! Of course he had ME do all the animating (for reasons unknown although now I'm starting to get the hang of it lol) and the finished product actually looks kind of awesome! The band watched it and actually really liked it! It's kind of spectacular to be able to take part in something like that!

Today, my fantastic roommate informed me that he had the first five seasons of The Big Bang Theory! How have I lived with him for two months, been friends for who knows how long, and not known this?! Needless to say, this weekend consisted of a lot of marathon watching...well...because we could! :P

Today, I had a lovely conversation with my principal. He really REALLY wants me to stay for the rest of the school year, and was trying to sell me on it. I'll be meeting with him again on Monday, but I have to say I don't remember the last time a supervisor made me feel like such an asset. He compliments my teaching styles every time we meet, he tells me how much he appreciates me and the fact that I was able to take this job at such late notice, and he's restored a lot of long lost faith in the education system. We need more administrators like him.

Today, I got a little spring cleaning out of the way. I scoured the kitchen and reorganized the living room. It was one of those cleaning sprees that felt good and the results made it worth my time! Now I have a sleeping cat next to me and melatonin kicking in, only one more day until the weekend! My last weekend here...weird!

Today, I got together with the teacher I've been subbing for and we started working on wrap up plans! It's crazy to think that I've been here for almost seven weeks! The time has definitely flown by! Even though I still have seven more days to teach, I already know how thankful I am for this experience and am so glad I was able to take the job!
