There is one photo that sits on my desk at school. It's the one from Formal... the people who party in Illinois. It is perfect and crisp... it feels like a moment.

Today, Jose was asking who was in the picture, so I told him. And he checked to make sure he got the names right. When we got back from the bathroom this afternoon, he was behind my desk, and I started to ask what he was doing... and then I realized he was showing another student the photo, and telling him the names of everybody in the picture. It was cute.

They liked my dress and wanted to know why I wouldn't wear it to school. They also think it's cool that Miss Schinker is in the picture with me. Teachers exist outside of school?? haha.

Anyway, I love it.
