Hey everyone! So last week I went a little heavy with my post and wrote about my thoughts on censorship and children's literature. This week though, I'm feeling like going in a bit more of a casual direction and just talking about my weekend. I have decided to do this because, before every tutoring session that I have (with both young and old students), I always begin with the questions "how was your weekend? Do anything exciting?" I feel like I always want to start with that little ice breaker, that little nod of caring. I like showing my students that I'm not only invested in them as an educator but that I'm also invested in them as a fellow human being.
Anyway though, I had a fantastic weekend. My best friend, Jack, crushed his LSAT this past Saturday (if you don't know what the LSAT is, it is the test you have to take to get into law school). I surprised him by showing up to his house with a huge box of donuts and a bunch of balloons. Then we went out and got ice cream at Cold Stone. We also stopped and picked up a new bottle of whisky. My friend is a whisky guy and refuses to really drink anything else. We thought it was appropriate since we were celebrating and all. Then we went back to his house. My boyfriend came over too and we all hung out drinking whisky and watching Fight Club, which is Jack's favorite movie. Way later that night my boyfriend and I stopped at another friend's house for a birthday party that was going on. There I talked someone into helping me dye my hair soon so get ready for that. We didn't get back home and into bed till like two in the morning. It was a super fun day/night filled with happiness and some of my favorite people in the world.
So that was my weekend. How was yours?? ell me in the comments guys. I wanna know :)
That is an amazing accomplishment for your bestfriend! I have heard that those exams are really difficult! I swear the best weekends are spent with loved ones and that is exactly what I did this past weekend also. Ps. I cant wait to see what color you die your hair! :)

ReplyDeleteSounds like fun! It is important to celebrate the milestones! I graded papers, did my taxes and watched two movies. I did get to try a new restaurant downtown. I wouldn't recommend it though. I little pricey on a teacher's or college student's budget. It's important to cultivate a life outside of teaching.
