Totally unrelated to S&B, just wanting to AW

Two of my former students are going to my alma mater in the fall. What's great is that for one it was really because of my suggestion that she is going. They are both fab students, such sweethearts, and I couldn't be more proud. It was also great to know that my connections as an alum made some difference for these girls.

I got an email today that they are going to be roommates! I'm not gonna lie but this is totally goofy shit that just makes me smile. ;D

No doubt I will be sending them goofy care packages. Damn, where's the nerd emoticon when I need one?

I love this!! That's so sweet. I get really excited when my students (or any younger person really) asks me about college or grad school!

Also, and unrelated, MAV your siggy is amAHzing!

Mav, while I love all my students (ok, except for a few turds), these girls are just special. The girl who I helped get in, she and I are kind of bonded for life now. Her mom died while she was in my class. It still breaks my heart thinking about it. I kind of helped make sure she was taken care of and ok during that time. She's a resilient one, but damn that shit was tough. The admissions director told me in a very cute note that my letter made her flat-out tear up.

Wow, that must feel so rewarding. I admire teachers so much. To echo mav, these girls will always remember the part you played in their lives, how cool is that??

Maybe I should ask if they are planning to have some sort of Mrs. 315 shrine in their dorm room? Ok, no, that would be really creepy.

LOL well why don't you send a few headshots or something in their care package?
