The Shire

School's been going well. Nt much to report. Today all my students have their first quiz. They're all freaking out but it is pretty easy and straight-forward. I in no way aim to confuse them.

But yesterday we spent the day playing a review game to go over everything and calm their anxieties about the quiz. Somehow one of the classes became incredibly interested in how tall I was and started making jokes.

One girl kept asking exactly how tall I was and insisted she was taller (I knew she was but I wasn't going to admit to it). Then she came up to the front of the room, stood next to me and laughed. Then a football player came up to the front of the room (he was a foot taller than me) and everyone laughed. I hear one girl say "he's such a cute little person" and I called her out on it. And then I heard people talking about the Shire. So yeah, yesterday was fun.
