Hearts on a post-it

As far as I can tell September 18th seems to be the most ridiculously important day in all of Chile. Independance day — or according to the TV at the subway station, the day we celebrate the first government forming (and not actually Chile's independance from Spain) — is fast approaching. All I've been hearing lately is people talking about barbeques and flags, and independance, and getting drunk when there are kids around. I'd like to say I'm excited about all of those things and I am, but I'm mostly excited about getting two days off of work.

In the mean time, the following ridiculous thing has happened to me:

[Long story short] I left one of my students (who takes classes in a group at their office) a post-it on his desk and one of the secretaries thought it would be HILARIOUS to put little hearts on it. So, for two days this poor man thought I was freakish enough to try to seduce him with little hearts on a post-it and everyone in the office knew about it and also thought it was HILARIOUS. Then they finally told him it wasn't me, which I suppose was awfully nice of them. Needless to say Eugenia didn't hear about it until a week and a half later. Guess which two people in this story didn't actually think the whole thing was hilarious?

Seriously, who would put LITTLE HEARTS ON A POST-IT? I mean, I'm just saying. I bet she did it with like a pink pen, too.

On a side note, my students are great sometimes and I totally adore this group. So, it was all good. We awkwardly laughed about it and then we agreed that little hearts on a post-it isn't really my 'style' and then we watched The Office.

little hearts,
- E
