Happy Halloween!
I dressed up as Wonder Woman today - somehow I beat my cold into submission just long enough to make it through the the day! The students were so adorable! They all dressed up and were psyched to see that I had dressed up as well. Parents were all around taking pictures! The 5th grade students are the only ones who are allowed to dress up, so they look forward to this day from kindergarten!
The entire 5th grade parades through each of the classrooms in the school! Every classroom is filled with little kids captivated by the costumes of the big-time 5th graders. Priceless!
The rest of the day was a piece of cake. Pizza party, Monster's Inc, read aloud (by yours truly), and then a Visions announce by the student who is tabulating the challenge tickets.
After school, I went into Boston (miraculously still feeling okay), to catch up with some friends who were in town. I ended up running into more friends (apparently there was a higher-ed conference in town) which was fun. I went to dinner at Lir with a good friend from grad school, and my RD (junior & senior year) from Syracuse joined us. I hadn't seen him in five years, and it was so much fun to catch up! Apparently, I made both of their trips to Boston - WINNER! My RD had some of his friends join us and they also brought friends - including another friend of mine from grad school! We bumped into each other at the conference location, and then because higher ed is such a small field, she ended up being invited to hang out with my friend. Love it. With two weekends in a row of seeing amazing friends, I'm starting to feel like I really can make it through this semester.
