awesome students

I have to go to bed, but i wanted to post a quick recap of my awesome birthday yesterday! 25 years old. Another year closer to 100. That's my goal. It seems like a decent one.

It all started with ice cream for breakfast. Ben and Jerry's, actually. and not just ice cream for me, ice cream for aaaaall of my friends. Two of my students delivered 8 mini tubs of ice cream to my classroom floor with candles and a note "happy birthday - sorry, we don't smoke." So the candles weren't lit ;)

During my second block class, even MORE ice cream was delivered to my classroom! Arabic ice cream, which is very much like italian gelato. Delicious. So i had a lot of ice cream, as did my students.

Near the end of third block, my awesome students had pizza hut ...AND burger king... delivered to my classroom. And during lunch, a big mango/strawberry cake.

Seriously. Seriously. So we had a lovely feast during our student council meeting. And a little bit during 4th block. And at our high school staff meeting after school.

At home, my friends delivered brownies (muffycake brownies...mmm) and more pizza. Peppe's. Mmm. My favourite kind. They got it right this year.

So today involved a million more brownies...and an hour at the gym! ;) As well as an hour spent in the elevator with Christina and Kristen. But what a good birthday yesterday. I was so spoiled - the girls really know how to make you feel special. I think i'll miss that the most about this group of seniors. A few in particular, but the ones that i know are pretty darn awesome.

I just wish that they knew how awesome they really were.

Here's to a great 25.

Eid melad saeed!
