Valentine's Day shenanigans

For an assignment in Spanish class, the teacher asked us to make Valentine's Day cards. I was paired up with a girl named Stella and had to write a love letter. Can you imagine the awkwardness?

Because we use a block schedule — and there is no class today — this happened the day before. I made a card out of construction paper and drew some hearts. Hope it's not too crude. I also managed to come up with a poem of sorts. It couldn't get any cheesier.

Stella was more generous and gave me a store-bought card and a chocolate waffle cone. You could tell she was embarrassed too. I can't believe Mrs. Schiffman made us do this. Of course, social anxiety doesn't help either.

But things doesn't end there. Each year, the school does a Valentine's Day fundraiser. You can buy a candy gram and send it to someone. Each one includes a chocolate rose and a note. Imagine my surprise when I received two. One's from my friend Charline — she's on the student council and wants to be in good graces — while the other came from an anonymous "secret admirer." Holy crap. I've never blushed so hard in my life.

It's nice to know someone likes me. However, no one seems to have an idea as to who she may be. Unless someone knows more than they're letting on. If anyone has an answer, feel free to comment here. Hope she sees this because I want to say "thank you." :-)

In other news...
  1. I'm hosting a Valentine's Day event in RuneScape in about an hour. Come join me at Falador Park on server 1 at 5 p.m. Pacific Time for a chance to win 50,000 coins. Sorry for the short notice as I just got home.
  2. Dad is taking us to the Four Corners again even though it hasn't been long since we went there. It's easily one of our favorite places.
