doo-dah, doo-dah
woooooo day off courtesy of lapse in employment!
my last day was friday. the kids got me a cake and everyone wrote a page in a little memory journal. after all the kids gave their best wishes and goodbyes, i tried to say something and basically started crying. i'm going to miss them so much. at least i will see some of the girls when i go to pick up christina every week. and of course i will be back for graduation.
speaking of christina, she is back and doing ok. we started art class again on thursday and our teacher, who loves christina, is sick and in the hospital :( her sub and i started chatting and it turns out that her daughter just started kindergarten at the school i will be teaching at. so i met my first parent :)
the last week of work was pretty fun due to some creative scheduling on my part. the friday before, the kids and i did a grilled cheese sale as a fundraiser for orphans of the storm, so we got to go shopping at jewel and petco with the money and pick out lots of pet treats and toys. on thursday, we loaded up a van with our stuff and drove it over to orphans of the storm. of course, we stopped to play with the lucky kitties :D
