One question was "What will you take with you from this class?"
"Remembering when Ms. Reedy said you use two condoms with appositive instead of commas, but I don't remember what an appositive is."
"I took the pencil sharpener cover."
"I will take with me the time you fell up the stairs, and I was so glad it wasn't me."
"Can we take something with us?"
"Remember the times when you forgot to teach Social Studies because you were too into that book that made you cry? Is that why you aren't teaching Social Studies next year and only Language Arts?"
I also asked them how could I make Language Arts better.
"Keep letting your class get you off the subject by telling stories."
"Do a whole class singing, all day"
"Maybe you shouldn't talk to the plants anymore."
"Let your students sit by their boyfriends."
"Don't ever forget to read aloud."
"Instead of telling kids it is their choice to write in their journal, make them do it because we make bad choices a lot."
And I think my highlight on the etc. page:
"Ms. Reedy, There were lots of good time and lots of hard times this year. I think you made some good choices with us. Like when you read the cuss words in The Watsons go to Birmingham and when you abandoned the book about the guy who lost his arm and when you put the quote on the board about dreaming big. Maybe you made some mistakes too. When you sent Kyle in the hallway and he really didn't throw paper. Or when you joked around with Brittany about giving her a detention (she was really scared). But I think it was a good year and I think you are good too. I used the word good a lot, but this is only my rough draft and I didn't edit for word choice, so don't read it to grade. OK? Your student, A Future Dr. (or something else)"

The Keys to Your Heart |
| You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. |
| In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored. |
| You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy. |
| You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please. |
| Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with. |
| Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. |
| You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. |
| In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted. |

I seriously had one of the greatest weekends ever this past weekend! I went to
What I took back with me:
1) a cool paper star lamp (that is already hanging in my living room)
2) a cute flip-flop necklace
3) a SoeYun-original bowl
4) 4 SoeYun-original cups
5) a SoeYun-original sugar bowl with lid (that is holding #6)
6) A bag of the bestest tea ever
7) Several Stein Mart purchases
8) Assorted shells that look like oil reflections
9) A slight sunburn
10) A great idea for a Mother's Day present (thanks to Soebs)
What I wish I took back with me:
1) SoeYun
When you have friend like that, it makes everything better. The conversation is richer, the coffee tastes stronger, the cigarettes burn smoother, the heart feels more peaceful, and the world seems friendlier.
2) The piña colada machine from 7-11 ( not a featured flavor here in the Lou)
What I had to buy when I came back:
1) A pillow for my mom for Mother's Day
2) A French press coffee maker
