Cow Girl!

Alex said that I look like Martina Mcbride today. Not so much as look like her but the way I dressed, I looked like a country singer.That’s what she said. I laughed out loud to that remarks. I thought of trying something different. I wore my gypsy skirt and my brown boots. The skirt is a little shorter than the usual ones that I normally wear. Hannah’s remark was when she saw me with boots was “ Wow! Nice shoes mummy! I like it! You look like a cow girl!” I do and it’s refreshing to me to inject an element of quirkiness and fun to my wardrobe. I like it and that’s who I am. I like shoes and clothes. All that was missing was a horse,a saddle and a hat! My students didn’t give me a second look or anything or they didn’t stare or started running away laughing or anything like that so I regarded that as a silent approval. That they are ok with it in fact I had a very engaging class today but then again, that group always look like as if they are on dopamine or ecstasy or some kind of new age drugs or something. They are always participative and forever asking questions. Four hours are never enough. Today I was determined to finish my chapter and I did. Horray me! But then we didn’t have time to listen to their Jomeworks(I need to patent this or at least pun a registered trademark to this). In fact I had to ask them to try to refrain from asking so many questions. I know…that’s bad but I need to have some point of control in my class. They not only ask questions but they share their views and ideas and thoughts. My fault actually, I normally dig my own grave. I asked them to share their thoughts, ideas and views. I do that at the end of every class. I didn’t know that they will hang to my every word. I like the class but I need to be objective about it and I need to finish my syllabus. Some are asking me if we are going to do make up classes for all the future holidays! See…I told you so! Definitely drugs! Or maybe they are infected by mold. The spores have gotten to their mind. Help! We need some anti-biotic or something. Their passions are contagious, mind you. You can’t help but smile and thank god for students like them. Every lecturers dream comes true. After the class, I had a meeting and as I was walking to the meeting I saw Aidan. The ICT guy who look like Ali. A decent, down to earth kindda guy. He commented on my boots. Hehe. He said that it was nice. We chatted while walking and went our separate ways. His story has a sad turn to it. He was a smart boy. He had gotten into one of the local universities after doing his matriculation. He got involved with a wrong crowd and that was when he took part in illegal racing. He got caught by the police, thrown out of uni and the rest is details. He is a nice boy. Anyway, after that I went out for lunch and I saw people staring at my boots. Told myself that I don’t think I want this much of attention. So I need to seriously rethink of wearing this boots again. I came back and continue working till it was time to see Vicky. I have been postponing my appointment with her for many moons. When I was leaving, Zoey commented that I look like a country singer and as both of us were going to the parking lot, I muttered “ oh gosh, where did I leave my horse?” She smiled. So I left and Vicky said I look nice today. We chatted none stop, as she was telling me about her Bangkok trip and I was telling her about work mostly. I am such a boring person sometimes. I need to find more hobbies and I gotta stop talking about work. Oh yeah… I saw this strapless knee-length polka dot dress that would be perfect for Finns’ party. Yep…He’s having this get together at a seafood restaurant and the theme is ‘polka dots’. H will be away that few days … I’m kindda not looking forward to spending the night alone with Hannah in the house but I can do it!I will!I will ! I will!(I sound like Noddy)so I’ll bring Hannah with me. I need to find her a polka dot dress. This is so exciting…. Going to a party! That was the end of my cow girl day. Now it’s time to sleep! YeeHaa!
