Today was one of the last days I'll see my 6th graders, so in a brief moment of sadness mixed with a pinch of stupidity, I gave them my phone number (which they have been asking for since day one!) Let me restate that, I finally gave (3) 6th grade girls my phone number, who then gave it to ALL of their classmates! I guess I didn't think about that possibility! My phone has been ringing off the hook, and text messages have been rolling in with messages like:
"Hi-! I'm marie. How are you? ^^ I'm happy ->_<>
"Hi alexis! I love you. I miss you. i'm happy. Tank you!!"
I just answered my phone and this was how the call went:
Me: Hello?
Student: Hi, my name is Lisa.
Me: Hi Lisa. What are you doing?
Student: (She said something, but I couldn't figure out what it was... so I moved onto a new question.)
Me: Are you going home?
Student: Yes.
Me: Are you going to Hagwon today?
Student: Yes. Okay Alexis. I love you, bye.
... and that was it!
I can't wait for my phone to keep ringing all day long! (insert sarcasm here!)

Date Night!
I actually had 2 dates tonight! Aren't I a lucky gal?!
My first date was dinner with Stella after work!
After dinner with Stella I headed home for my 2nd date of the evening! There he was, waiting patiently for me when I walked in the door- Randy Pausch...
...all 206 pages of him! Yep, my date night tonight was with a book - a great book actually; The Last Lecture about a man (Randy), dying of pancreatic cancer and the lessons learned through his 47 years of life, and the legacy he hopes to leave for his wife and 3 young children. I started, and finished it tonight, while laying cuddle up with my blanket, on my comfy rug, on my 20 degree celsius heated floor while the rain fell outside my window and tears rolled down my cheeks!! It was an emotional date to say the least... but one I'd recommend to everyone! :)
