Maybe school isn't in session, but I still love Fridays.

Story time! No, it's not about Star Wars. Relax.
I noticed one of my students dragging his feet around today -- you know, the whole hands-shoved-in-pockets and frowning order of business -- and, naturally, that's not on when the others are busy grinning and wearing crayons down to stumps. I think that's instinct for every kid under the age of ten: crayons should never have points or something like that.
Sorry, tangent!
So, come around to asking him what the matter is, he looks up, and completely deadpan he says, "I don't know if I'm happy with what I'm doing with my life." I asked if it was about the crayons (as I can't see what sort of life crisis a six year-old can be having). It wasn't about the crayons. I can't really say any more about it given that I crossed my heart and hoped to die on a swear to not, but the stuff that kids pick up on from their parents...? Come ON, parents. Not on.
Then he asked me if I was happy with where I was. Well, I did want to pilot the Millenium Fal You know, I think I am pretty good.
Oh, and no worries. A little chat later and he decided that he was good with the student arrangement that came with mum's p. b. and j. sandwiches free of charge.

You know those rewards you can send away for once you've collected enough bottle caps off Coke bottles? Yeah, I am this close to an iPod Nano.
Do you want to know how many bottles I've gone through to get that far? No. You really don't.
It's a lot. Just trust me on that. A lot.
