What does a girl do when she receives two job offers in one day? Does she accept the $5,000 signing bonus to teach in Houston, or does she accept the $1,500 signing bonus and starting salary of $40,000 to teach in Bakersfield, CA?
What is a girl to do?

You like me! You really like me!
The school tracker, Bonnie, came into my prep period today to talk to Mr. Whitney. I was merrily typing up a lesson plan and wasn't deeply involved in their conversation.
As Bonnie was leaving, she said, "I hear you're a great teacher."
"Thanks," I replied, kind of shoving the comment off. So Mr. Whitney had told her about me. Big deal. Teachers like to tell other teachers they are doing a great job.
"That's coming from the students, you know. I've heard it in the halls. They think you're great."
"Really?" My heart jumped. Students were saying that I was a great teacher? Holy cow!
They like me! They really like me!!! And that makes me happy.

Graduation!!!
Today I calculated that I will be graduating magna cum laude. What does this mean? It means that I am in the top 5% of the graduating class.
Isn't that exciting?
