Know why?
I had no more than 10 kids in any given class.
Not even half of my students bothered showing up!

It made for a nice relaxing day. The kids who came were even willing to do work without whining, which was amazing (normally kids seem to think they deserve a fucking medal for coming to school on non-holidays like Halloween or their birthdays).

I do not,however, look forward to the rest of the week, when risidual Halloween candy and devil may care attitudes about schoolwork and decorum will surely make my professional life a living hell.

Halloween was also good because my professor tonight cancelled class, which enables me to relax a little bit. I can get home before any roommates do, soak in a warm bath and go to bed early. It is going to rock.

Things are still going very well with the girl. I think we are almost into girlfriend zone, which is pretty exciting. And pretty terrifying. Am I ready for any kind of exclusivity? Probably not. Do I want it, though? Basically, yeah.

I am smitten beyond belief and autumn is the best time to be getting to know someone intimately. Cold, crisp days make you want to go curl up at home, wrap rosy limbs around one another and keep each other warm.

We've acknowledged that neither of us is really into seeing anyone else. And I think it'd be funny to be a third party listening in on our conversations, both private and public, to hear how obviously we skate around words like "girlfriend" while clearly trying to let each other know "I want to be with just you."

She holds my hand in public and private and when she looks at me she makes my insides do sommersaults.

And the best part of Sunday was waking up next to her and realizing as I slid my hand over the space between her hip and ribcage that we had a whole extra hour to lie together letting the early morning sunshine spill over us.
