You Reap What You Sow, Right?

In this case, it's been a good thing. These past few days, I've gotten tons and tons of shtuff from my students. Mostly sweets (there's currently a package of assorted Ghirardelli chocolates staring me in the face), a scarf (keeping my neck warm), multiple Starbucks gift cards (boy, do I need them), a candle, and a painting of a musical Christmas tree ornament... just to name a few. I've written thank you cards for about 1/3 of the students (all the ones who gave me something prior to today), but there was a giant influx of items today and I haven't been able to keep up.

I'm taking this as a sign that the kids really do maybe actually like me, or that, at least, their parents think I'm worthy of showing appreciation for the holidays. I'll try to snap a picture of my mound of student goodies, and maybe even a photo of myself today. I look kind of awesome... just saying. Schutte and I went shopping last night and I bought a cute ugly/tacky Christmas sweater. There was one really really ugly Christmas vest, but I had already drawn the line. I belted it (it was kind of big), side pony-tailed my hair, put on a headband with antlers on it, and has since been told by a couple of students that I look like a teenager. GOOD. Cause that's what I was going for. :)
