I can't believe it has taken me this long to start blogging again! I have wanted to many times and just not taken the 30 minutes to sit down and write...
To be honest the first few months of my second year were a little hard to adjust to. I kept thinking about my old students. It felt a little like a break up, and it took me a little while to get over them. Thankfully I still get to seem them all the time in the hallways.
I really do have an incredible group of students this year. Not only do I have 5 less kiddos (last year I had 26, and now I have 21), but they are all so sweet and egar to learn. They also seem to have more innocence to them, which is great. And they laugh at all my jokes :)
On to the confession...yesterday at car duty, a student from another 3rd grade class was holding a Justin Bieber book. Well, wanting to have a little fun with her, went over and said,
"Oh my goodness, you have a Justin Bieber book! I love him!" (honestly I do like him, but I don't usually admit it so freely)
She then pulled out some Ipod earplugs and said, "Well, these are his earplugs. My dad works on his tour bus and he gave them to me."
Now I was a little intrigued, yet skeptical and asked, "Can I touch them??" She nodded and held them out for me. I touched them and then squealed, “I just touched Justin Bieber’s earplugs I can’t believe it!” (At this point I was totally hamming it up, and being over dramatic)
She went on to say, “I’m actually going to get to meet him tonight!”
Now I was almost positive she was stretching the truth (aka lying through her teeth). So I asked, “Wait, Justin Bieber is in Branson, Missouri?? What for?”
“He’s vacationing here.” Was her reply. “But I wasn’t supposed to tell anyone he’s in town.
Next I said, “I won’t tell anyone. But can I go with you?? Or will you at least take a picture for me?”
She said no, I couldn’t go….and that she didn’t have a camera. So I told her that I wasn’t sure I believed her without any proof.
Well about that time her ride showed up and that was the end of our conversation. So now the confession…last night I dreamed that I met Justin Bieber! In my dream I went to his concert, and then heard he was going to be at the mall afterward. So of course I went to the mall. I remember telling someone the following, “ I know that I am 24 and too old for Bieber Fever, but I never got to meet the BackStreet Boys or Nysnc, so I feel like I’m living out my childhood dreams by meeting him!” Well I did meet him. And when I tried to take a picture for proof, the camera on my phone wouldn’t work! Haha, As I tried to fix it I said, “Oh man, I don’t want all these other girls to get mad at me for taking up so much time.” And he said, “Its ok, they’ll wait. I have all the time in the world.” Haha!
That's all I remember but when I woke up this morning I thought, "Did I really dream about the Biebs last night??" I guess that's what I get for teasing a student.
*Disclaimer- I do like Justin Bieber’s music, but I don’t really have Bieber Fever or a crush on him. Also, I did not follow up to see if the student met him…but I will tomorrow!*
