the first day is over!

Hi Nick,

I had this fantasy of getting flowers on the first day of school. I'd be standing at the front of the room, talking with my students about themes in a novel or great scientific breakthroughs, and someone would come in and announce that there was a beautiful bouquet of flowers with my name on it. Part of the fantasy is that it would come from someone who completely adored me.

Well, my fantasy came true today. My parents sent flowers, but not to me- they addressed them to the whole school! And while it's true that my parents are lovely, thoughtful people, I can't help but feel that you had a role in this.

I wish you were here to meet my students and see the classroom. You'd love it.

Love,
Holly
