Posted by Katie Oh in : Such As , trackbackTwo of my kindergartners informed me that they are boyfriend and girlfriend.
I was keeping an eye on them (they were two of four misbehaving when the teacher was trying to get them to learn the lyrics to “The Twelve Days of Christmas”) and noticed that they were sitting funny: heads down, facing each other, with one arm on the table and the other hanging down. I ducked my head down to look under the table.
They were holding hands.
“Lamont,” I asked later as he gave me a big hug, “are you and Taerica friends?” He smiled, cupped his hands around my ear, and whispered their secret to me.
If only things could be that easy for the rest of our lives! Just that kindergarten secrecy about holding hands and kissing on the playground.
We held a party on Thursday, “fancy dress encouraged.” Amber and I busted out black cocktail dresses. It was generally fabulous. I made a wicked punch that was worth its weight in gold. Yum.
To say that the end of the semester has been weighing on me would be a laughable understatement: i have roughly 25 pages of writing to do for my World Civ class alone, not to mention my re-written screenplay for my Screenwriting class, and one last article for Journalism.
Being overwhelmed is annoying. Only a few more days, then I get to go back to my city.
