Today was a good day (Schell, which song is that from?)

Yesterday was a little poopy. Just one of those days when you feel like not only are you not doing any good, but you are in fact making things worse. So, poopy. Pluse, not a lot of laughing.
Today was better.
I have a student with a cochlear implant. When he's in my room I have to wear this microphone thing around my neck. I teased him the first few days about decorating it with diamonds and pretty pink ribbons for me to make it match my outfit. Totally out of the blue, he shows up today with the thing covered in pink and silver ribbons. He really made me laugh. And then we all laughed when the male teacher had to put it on and I snapped his picture. He is the coolest.
Later, at lunch, I checked my mailbox and found a card from a teacher I met last year who is now retired. It was a very sweet, very funny card congratulating me on my job and inviting me to join him in breaking the seal on his new Bacardi 151. People who send cards are so cool.
Later still, a student told me that so far I am his favorite teacher ever. I didn't believe him, because of course it's a big fat lie, but it was nice to hear.
