Well I got a major surprise in class yesterday during third block! Brooke Crismas, Heather Loyd, and Erin Jameson got a new podium for me made by Brooke's dad, who is a woodworker.

Check it out! I am very proud of it, and was left totally speechless when they brought it in to replace my totally HOOPTY podium.

You know, every now and then I go through my usual "Why am I doing this?" routine, and this....this helps to validate what I do.

Thank you girls, and I'll miss you in class.
