Of teachers and stuff
Teacher's Day in Colombia is next Sunday; May 15th. We celebrate it every year and since I'm a teacher, this year was no exception.
Last night, Colombo celebrated our day. We had a cocktail party which was really nice. Colombo gave us as present a book. It's a "journal" in my boss' words for us to write whatever we want. From our leson plans to our secrets. Jeremy told me "this journal is for you to keep on writing." That
was fun and cute.
Somethin beautiful about the journals, is that they have each teacher's name written on them. We were all kind of impressed by that. ^^
At the party, they made some raffles of lunches and wine. The table I was sitting on with my closest coworkers was the one who won the most. Marta and Carolina won free lunches for two (in Café Colombo, which is very fancy) and Pipe and I won a bottle of win each.
I went early, anyhow. It was final day today and I had to grade my students' exams. It was really nice to be with them this morning at 7 am and hear them tell me that they really liked me as their teacher. (usual reaction...it was only a month...hahahahahhahah...they won't see me 'till God knows when....)
I guess this is it for now...surely I'll write more later on. ^_~

As a fellow teacher I understand satisfaction that comes with the knowledge of a job well done, and the recognition that comes with that.
You are obviously a good teacher, much-loved by your students, colleagues and superiors. I, on the other hand, am an evil teacher, and rarely enjoy such positive feedback.
Oh, cocktail parties and raffles, prizes, gifts, happiness and celebrations. It makes me smile just to think about it.
It makes my heart warm.
Education is such a rewarding field to work in, wouldn't you say?
