the word is out.

This morning James and I revealed our big news at the faculty meeting, and I've been telling my classes and other students that I'm close to throughout the day. It's a pretty exciting day, especially hearing the students' reactions, and I wanted to try to record as many of them as possible.

"Can I tweet about it?"

"How did you not tell us sooner?"

"REALLY?!?!"

"When? Where? How?"

"I heard there's something growing in your stomach...true or false?"

"Does Mr. Garcia know?"

(from a senior) "Why couldn't you have done this LAST YEAR?"
