Hahaha, I have turned my students into AVID Laker fans!!!! They watch the games because they know if the Lakers win, I will be in a good mood the next day. However, if the Lakers lose, they must be on their best behavior. Kind of harsh to have everything lie on the skills (or rather, lack thereof) of the Lakers, I know... but my students do everything possible to see me smile. One little girl even brought me a rose because she knew I would be "sad". THEY ARE SO CUTE!!!

Sometimes they drive me nuts, but I think it's because I expect so much from them. They are, after all, only 12 years old...

It's strange. Yesterday, I remember I couldn't wait for the weekend to begin. But this morning, I woke up at 8am and felt really lonely. There is no school and I miss my kids! :( Man, what a nerd.
