Tuesday was a great day.

On Tuesday, I gave each student five conversation hearts for Valentine's Day (thanks, Mom, for my V-tines day package!) and had them write a poem using those phrases.  Two of the students wrote their poems to me.  Here's what they said:

Kinzy
I'm sure
Nobody rock than you
Pleaze e-mail me and kiss me when you're home
Your too hot and we want to keep you in ar heart.
<3 [two of my students]

Kenzy, yes, you're beautiful,
likes a cup cake,
awesome you are
you rule of my heart
and you are very nice and a very good teacher
you stay in my heart
good bye Kenzy
xoxo
[another student]

Aren't they great?

Also, later in the day, I had a class in a computer lab and the main teacher was doing presentations and let the "kids" work on their own, and I discovered some of the students were reading Vie de Merde online, so I suggested that we switch over to English and read F My Life.  So I spent the class explaining phrases like "getting lucky."  Oops.

Then, to top it all off, (this is really good), I discovered that one of the three toilets in the women's restroom in the teachers' wing HAS A TOILET SEAT!  And I've been using one of the other ones this whole time, and therefore basically avoiding going to the bathroom unless absolutely necessary.  But hooray, toilet seats are in my future!
