The End


Yesterday was the last day of school.
My classroom is scrubbed clean and completely empty. My voice echoes in it.
I cried as all the ninth graders raced out of the building into the sunshine, never to come back.
This year was full of new experiences, some horrible and some delightful.
I already have big plans for how to make my second year a million times better than my first.

Some jewels from my yearbook:

"Madame Lee! You are my role model and I love you."
"I'm sorry I was so loud and disruptive, but I think it was for the best."
"Thanks for all the funny stories. My favorite was when you told about throwing up in the Frankfurt airport, or maybe Russell choking on his wedding ring."
"You are my favorite teacher with your hair and your clothes and your fun attitude."
"I will miss you next year. You are my favorit teacher in the skool."
"Thank you for not taking away my iPod. Have fun this summer with stupid Russell."

What's next for me?
I will spend this summer jogging, laying by the pool, reading, and maybe a little cooking.
It's going to be glorious.

I saw your cute little brother at high school graduation last week, and he was so nice and said hi to me! I was impressed he remembers me from the Shade days :)

You are so cute Aubrey. You look like you could be a student in middle school instead of the teacher. :) Your summer sounds blissful.

I love this! And you! Those things that your kids said are hilarious. I bet you had some students that had crushes on you too, you just didn't include the entries of the kids that said, "Dear Mrs. Lee, I will love you until the day I die." Ahaha, seriously, you're a babe. And also, I'm coming to Utah in August so I hope we can see each other!!!!
