My Cardboard Balcony

My book release party was fun. I enjoyed having Monday off. My week was exhausting, but worthwhile. I continued teaching Persepolis to my seniors and Romeo and Juliet to my freshmen.

Have a great night and a great weekend, everyone.

"That, or I really just wanted to hear him cry." Susie raised an eyebrow. "Did he cry?" "Like a fucking baby," I chuckled.
