understandably my self-esteem isn't sure what to think right now

- Last evening I ran into one of my former students. I taught her when she was a freshman; she's now a senior. She was thrilled to see me, saying, "I'm so glad I ran into you because there's something I want to tell you!"
"Well, do tell!"
"I just wanted you to know that you're the reason I'm going into my chosen profession," she said.
"And what profession is that?" I asked, sure she would say a writer because she is a gifted writer.
"An English teacher. I always tell people that I had THE coolest freshman English teacher and now I want to be that cool English teacher."
Awwww. Suddenly all the crap I dealt with the year I taught totally seems worthwhile. (Mrtl and Cat, please slap me back to my senses!!!)
- At Barnes & Noble this morning I saw the book Gray's Anatomy and realized, for the first time, that Grey's Anatomy is a play on that. Yes, I have heard of the book before and yes, I feel like a complete moron for not making the connection. Seriously...DUH.
- Also at Barnes & Noble I saw a book that purports to be rules for men and one of the rules is that the best blind dates are with girls named Samantha or Kelly. I'm still trying to figure out if that means I'm a brilliant conversationalist or if it means I'm a slut.
