If you don't like my attitude...

I was in a coffee shop and saw a middle-aged man wearing a t-shirt that said:

"If you don't like my attitude call 1-800-EAT SHIT"
I was a little dismayed that these are the types of exports that America has to be held responsible for :)

We are nearing the home stretch of our internship and it has been nothing short of incredible. We have about three weeks left and are currently doing a creative writing assignment with the kids and they have improved so much since we started (they now have a better idea of what it means to be creative). The principal of the school walked into one of our writing seminars and I could tell she was impressed with our kids and how they were all being quiet (amazing). One of my favorite kids is this boy named Sohail. He is known around school as "the artist" and has made a lot of the artwork on the 7th grade floor. Today he asked me when I was leaving and I said Aug. 17. He said, "No miss you stay until September." He looked so sad and was making a pretty big case as to why I should stay until September.

I thought that before I left I would write letters to some of my best students, the ones that I know well enough to write letters to. I am working out an all-girls lunch for hopefully tomorrow and really can't wait to talk to them all again. There are some very special girls that I hope can keep up their independent spirits that they have shown me.

Amelia is coming on Thurs. night and we are going to have to fit the three of us in one bed-should be interesting... I am excited to have an excuse to go to all of the touristy places again and take pictures. I really think that she will love it here as she has been spending a lot of her time in a more conservative part of India.

Oh- another funny thing, today one of my kids wrote the simile "his eyes were like two brown circles with black dots in the center." Oh, the creative young minds of India;)
