Caged Animal

Sometimes I feel like one of the animals you see at the zoo. Just minding my own business, but for some reason people keep coming around and staring at me. This is actually not far from the truth. In the building where I teach my classes, the walls are actually glass and they frequently have tour groups going around. The groups stop and stare at me or at my class and it's really distracting. I don't feel comfortable and can't be myself with my students. I'm hoping to not have any classes in this building next year.

This week has been very eventful. I had ice cream with some students on Tuesday, after class. We talked and laughed and took pictures. Wednesday was the crazy anniversary day with 200 guests and camera crews. And so I went out to eat ice cream and have dinner with an exchange student. And yesterday I went to my student's part-time job at a Spanish/Italian restaurant. It was so good and she gave us some free things. It was a very good night. Today I don't think I have any plans. I may need some more sleep. I'm also glad I haven't gotten sick yet. I've been drinking ginger tea every day and I'm so grateful to be able to drink it.

Also, my boyfriend sent me a package of wonderful things. It's nice to receive things that remind me of him. Tomorrow will be my body guard's birthday and I forgot to send her a package. I'm always forgetting something. Maybe next week I'll remember to do it. I think that's it for now. ttfn.
