good day

Last Friday I was shown proof that not all my students have been lobotomised…When I rocked up to class, a couple of students were debating my name (I so love it when they talk about me, forgetting that I can understand them!) and one of them (the loudest in the class) asked the JTE what my name is. She told him ‘Amber’ and he replied, no there was more, wasn’t it AmberLouise Tinney. I told me yes, it was and he had an excellent memory. The he asked the JTE what ALT stood for and she told him Assistant Language Teacher. He replied that he thought it stood for me because it was my initials. I explained that as AmberLouise is one name, technically ALT are not my initials but I was very impressed at the way his mind was working and that this was obviously something he’d been thinking about. A good note to end a blah work week on (must distinguish work from everything else cos elsewise twas a great week).
And added bonus today at work: there was toilet paper. Especially appreciated cos I’d forgotten my tissues.
happy amber!
