I love my students. The end.

Another cutesy student story is about to come your way.  Get excited.

Last week, one of my students (JiEun) made a big production of asking me if I had seen a movie that she called [what sounded to me like] "Anger's Song."  She kept going on about how it was her favorite movie and had I seen it?  When my face drew an obvious blank, she and her friend wrote the Korean title for the movie and translated it to mean "I'm JoJi. Crazy Cat."  This left me even more confused so I promised that I would research it during my prep. and get back to her.  After a quick internet search (gosh I love Google!), I found that the movie about which she was talking, Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, was adapted from a British teenage book series my pal Anne had me read in college called On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God by Louise Rennison.  There are several books that follow the same teenage girl going through typical teenage stuff. They are sooo cleverly written and sooo funny.  So anyway, the next time I saw JiEun, I told her that I found the movie about which she was raving and that I had actually read the book on which the film is based.  She was so excited that we could share a little piece of pop culture.  Hooray.

Also, (and this is what prompted me to write this post in the first place) during the last class I just had with her, I was kneeling down to help JiEun answer a question.  She reached up to her nose and measured it between the knuckles on her index and middle fingers (you know, in the who's got your nose?! kind of way...). Then, she did the same to my nose.  Homegirl actually touched my face - I was not prepared.

Never a dull moment in adorable-high-school-girl-land.
