Walking out of school is usually a pleasant experience. I get to leave work behind and go home to where it is warm, cook myself some good food and chill for a bit.

Today it was enjoyable over and above the usual benefits. I felt like a star as I walked out.

Going down the stairs, I was followed by shouts of, "Byeeeeee teacher!" and a few girls yelled, "Kethereeeeeennne" after me. I don't know how they figured out my full name, but it was very cute how they pronounced it.

As I bowed to the gatekeeper, a chorus of "KATIE TEACHER!" had me searching for the originators. I found them leaning out a 4th storey window, waving furiously. I waved back and chuckled to myself.

My insides were warm, even if my toes were numb.
