Reason #396...

There's nothing that makes my day quite like unsolicited student compliments...

I walked into the lobby today to excitedly remind a fellow teacher that the new season of Beauty and the Geek starts tomorrow. One of my advisees was sitting there...
"Ms Book, you should be on Beauty and the Geek."
"Why, because I'm a geek?"
"No! Because you're pretty!"

Add to this the fact that I woke up this morning AFTER the time I was supposed to have already been at school and commenced to grabbing the first outfit I could find, throwing my hair in a ponytail, smearing some makeup on my face and running out the door within 15 minutes of getting out of bed...

Yep. Definitely made my day :)
