Not only am I missing Harry Potter mania, I'm also missing Thanksgiving... or at least until I have located a place that serves Thanksgiving food this weekend. I think I might've found a winner. I have to call in the morning and find out if there are any reservations open. Planning to go with Angela, Sean, his friend and maybe a few co-workers. Very strange to think I'll be eating (hopefully) my first Thanksgiving meal without family.
Now I'm starting to feel more and more like a grown-up. It's tough realizing it might become more difficult to see family during the holidays as I get older for whatever reasons. Makes me more appreciative of the times I had even while complaining about the long drives to Indiana, or there being nothing to do there once 'family time' is over or begins to wind down. Sorry Mom, Dad... though there really isn't a lot to do there. ;)
One thing I'm thankful for is that this week is my last week in the fall term. Next week I get new kids. I'm extremely ready to say adios to some of my troublesome kids. I'm not sure what I'll be teaching next term yet, although my head instructor asked me to come in early tomorrow so that I can be trained in Bridge Reading. He said I've done well this term, so they'd like to see how I'd do in Reading. Totally made my day better, even if it means I have to come in a littler earlier. Considering I haven't had any one-on-one feedback from him since week 1 or 2, this is a real boost to my career confidence.
Oh, after playing out the love between my co-worker and myself since Friday, I think the kids were clued in it's not real. I was actually going to tell them the truth our last day this coming Friday, but when they asked after one of the desk teachers said that's not true, some of the girls acted really disappointed. hahaha I'm going to miss the great drawings they create when I leave the room during break. I think one of today's drawings showed me wearing a traditional Korean hanbok dress... More photos to come via Facebook.
