Changement d'avis

Remember before how I said I didn't think I was cut out to be a teacher, or it's probably not something I want to pursue once I get back to the United States?

Yeah, I've changed my mind.

Christmastime is a very hard time to NOT want to be a teacher. I only had two classes this morning from 8:30 to 10 a.m., but my teachers BOTH shared their boxes of chocolates with me and then the teachers entering school in the salle des maîtres brought holiday goodies to share with me. In both of my morning classes, teachers were bestowed HUGE Lindt boxes of chocolates. My mouth is still watering.

Then I had three afternoon classes. A pair of sisters brought each of their teachers ridiculously over-sized floral bouquets, while the male teachers also received boxes of chocolates and bottles of wine.

Way cooler than the lame #1 teacher pins you guys get in the U.S.

Oh yeah, one of my classes all chipped in money to buy me a package of Ferrero Rocher praline chocolates (see image above) and drew me a huge Joyeux Noël poster. Too cute :)
