Dear ESL, Guess what! You're what I'm going to be teaching next year. It's FINALLY official so I feel like broadcasting it to the world! Hey world! I'm going to be an ESL teacher next year!
Dear "You're the type of girl a guy wants to marry...not date,"A friend and I were discussing you the other day based on something another of our friends posted on Facebook.. You're a phrase that is intended as a compliment, but when heard by a girl, is typically not taken that way. So what was the consensus drawn by my friend and me? Yes, you're a compliment. But we both agree that even if it is a compliment, it doesn't feel that great to hear...
Dear Field Trip, My class will be attending you this coming Tuesday. We're taking trip to the zoo and will have a picnic at the park. My crew is super excited!
Dear Thai Restaurant in Dakar, You are such a nice place. You're decorated beautifully. You're staff is great. And your food is delicious! Thanks for being such a nice "escape" this past Thursday. You were amazing.
Dear Bought a Dress, You're something I just recently did. My school has it's Junior Senior Banquet next weekend and as a staff member, I'm invited to attend. It's a pretty fancy night, so I needed a nicer dress to wear. So imagine my delight when I tried this one on and fell in love with it! :)
Dear Sweet Home Alabama (the state - not the song or movie), Guess who gets to see you in 18 days from today... That'd be this girl! I'm so excited!
Dear Mini Vacation, I get to experience you on my way home from Dakar. Thanks to some family friends acting as hosts/tour guide, I get to spend a few days visiting parts of my own country where I've never been. I'm so excited!!!
Dear Smaller Sizes, I'm able to fit into you now. I guess my hard work has paid off. Talk about an ego boost! :)
Dear Fun Idea for Last Day of School, I found you on Pinterest the other day. Oh my word... I can't wait to put you into action. You're going to be awesome! I hope my kids like it!! :)
Dear Les Mis', I rented the latest version of you through iTunes. And as much as I was looking forward to watching you, if I'm being honest... You really weren't that great. Sorry...
Dear 4:15 a.m., You're what time I woke up this morning. I had big dreams of sleeping late today, but no... Why in the world was I wide awake at 4:15? Oh well... It gave me a few extra hours to catch up on some work and some reading. So that was nice. And I suppose I can always take a nap later.
Dear God, Thanks for the lessons you're teaching me right now. I know I don't understand them all. But I know you know what's best for me. So I'm really trying harder to simply accept that and stop worrying about what I don't understand. Jeremiah 29:11 is so applicable to this and I seem to be quoting it to myself over and over again.
