Q, a student whom I rarely see from Mrs. A's class, walked up to me in the morning and held out a purple piece of folded paper. "Oh, what's this, Q?" I asked. He replied, "It's a birthday card." Not even thinking anything involving me, I asked, "For who?" He didn't say anything and so I just opened it. And this is what it said:
Dear Mrs. F. Happy belated birthday Mrs. F. I'm sorry I didn't say it sooner, so here it is rite now. Happy belated birthday Mrs. F.
Love, Q
Love, Q
There are many funny parts to this story. 1) My birthday was a month ago. 2) I was thought about by a student not even in my class over the weekend. 3) The card's words have all the correct meanings (i.e., belated), so he must have gotten some adult advice somewhere in the card-making process. 4) Still doesn't realize I'm not a Mrs.
I told him thanks and gave him a hug, and he looked all pleased with himself. It definitely made my day/week. Most hilarious thing ever.
Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Aside from being a teacher, life has been pretty down lately. A new development is that I've also been getting daily migraines (dull, but annoying). After talking to a few other teachers, apparently headaches/migraines are part of the educator territory. Greeeeeaaat. Something to really look forward to! ...
I'm really hoping next school year will be a lot more organized... I haven't had time to write out Christmas cards (which probably won't happen now), wrap presents, send off out-of-state gifts, or anything. Everything will arrive late. :( I feel stressed just thinking about it. I literally can't cut anything out of my current teaching schedule to get this holiday stuff done.
AND I also have to start buying garden stuff for the grant I earned. I'm freaking out ever so slightly. I told them I would do it over winter break.
Progress reports are due on Wednesday, and knowing the current school administration, they will want to see them tomorrow... so guess what I'm doing today? Yeah.
Can't wait for Christmas. I need the break desperately.
