Anime!

I have absolutely no idea how to spell that. In any case, I started tutoring again at the Prep Academy three days a week. Yesterday was my first day with my new class and I must say I do like them a bit more than my other classes thus far. One of the kids imparticular has a lot of trouble with math. So, he was sitting up front with me and we were working on his math, when his mom shows up just because she “wanted to meet [me].” No parent has ever done that before. So I talk to her for a few minutes, and all of a sudden she says, “I want to give you something,” and reaches in her purse and pulls out… an ice-cold Snapple! How it was ice-cold, I have no idea. But it was great. Then one of my kids decided he wanted to give me “something” as well. And though I refused a few times, he was fairly insistent. I relented and he dug around in his backpack and pulled out a Yu-Gi-Oh (sp?) card. And all the kids went “Ohhhh,” at the same time. This is apparently a highly unusual and rare gift from a fourth grade Korean kid. So I have a “Ryu-Kishin Powered” card on my desk. He attacks for 1600 and defends for 1200… I have no idea what that means, but I’m sure it’s cool.
