Yesterday's day of subbing for Laura left me feeling great, and so today went by quite nicely. ^_^ The highlight to my day, was probably when one of my 3rd grade girls gave me a late birthday present and card! She'd drawn me a really cute card with students and cupcakes and cute animals all over it, and then had hand made me a clay cupcake and painted it and put little sorinkles on top! Awww!! She was so proud to give it to me, and that made it even more adorable! <3
I decided that when students give me a present, I write them a thank you note - but (obviously) not just any thank you note... I cut a giraffe card out of yellow construction paper and decorate it really cute and then, inside, write my thank you note. ^_^ I did it for one family who gave me a box of chocolates for Christmas, so I thought I'd try it again.
You should have seen this girl's face when I gave it to her. From merely receiving my handmade giraffe thank you note, she looked like a kid on Christmas! Days later, she came up and gave me a big hug and thanked me over and over again for the THANK YOU NOTE! :-P So cute.
Anyway, my good day didn't stop there... Between private lessons, I stopped to have a big beer and some tapas at good 'ol 100 Montaditos. ^_^ Best idea ever. I wasn't buzzed when I got to my second class at 8:30 pm, but I wasn't completely sober either. Nothing makes teaching English until 10pm more pleasant than that! ;)
When I got to Patty's place, she had two little bags full of birthday presents for me in the study!! Um, adorable!! ^_^ She got me adorable yellow socks, rubber stamps (which I can use when grading papers - brilliant) and a little cupcake jar! Awww!!!
And so, my day was lovely and filled with cupcake-themed birthday presents galore from the most unexpected people!! ^_^
XOXO
