Hotep...
Okay, yesterday I did not earn my money, but NOBODY did. I had my homeroom all day and I wasn’t complaining at all. I needed to file papers and finally get organized. One of my sweeties helped and she was truly a life saver.
After being with the same students all day, I started to miss my normal routine and the joy that I have when I see certain students. They all embody such different personalities and they serve as medicine to a some times very stressful life.
One of my co-workers sent a note down to my room and told me that she was getting jealous because my students wanted to come to my room to at least see me. Throughout the day, random students would drop by to say hello (while they were suppose to be going to the rest room.) It was funny because when they would walk in, I would ask “now where do you suppose to be.” They would smile and give an innocent laugh and go on back to class.
Another one of my co-workers said, “Your students just love you. They talk about you all the time and recite quotes that you’ve taught them, and finally admit that yeah, you do give a lot of strenuous work but ‘you are good people’.
See, that’s why I am so happy and at peace. They can get on my last, last, last nerves, but I love them.
Oh, I forgot a few minutes ago, one of my students who I thought and still think was/ is just plan “hot in the pants” walked in and through her arms around me. I was so caught off guard because she is not mushy or affectionate AT ALL. She seems to be a little grown woman in a child’s body. She just hugged me and walked off.
It is going to be hard to leave, but I will think of that when the time presents itself.
Anyhoo, I went to a revival last night and it was very nice. I am going to another revival tonight that is being held at another church. I’ve heard the preacher pray before and I think tonight will be really good.
Last night I could not stop staring at the elders of the church. I was just in awe of the mother board and the beautiful those women. In the past I would fringe about the thought of getting old, but looking at those beautiful women really eased my mind.
Anyhoo, life is good. I’m happy. I still have some decisions to make, some friendships to mend, closets to clean, and many barriers to cross or at least knock down, but I have no complaints… At least not today…

AW, that's soooooo sweet! :)
I'm so glad you are enjoying your teaching experience. As far as graduate school goes, don't worry about it. Do your research and make a prayerful decision as to where the Lord wants you to go and you'll be fine.
