What Celebrities Must Feel Like

Today was the first time in my entire experience here in Israel that I actually felt overwhelmed by all the affection I receive from my students.  It has gotten to the point where when I am walking, they push each other and bicker over who gets to hold my hand.  They all want to carry my backpack when I am walking to and from class and fight over that as well.  I tell them they need to share me!! 

They fight over who gets to take pictures with the camera and who gets to be in the picture.  If I play a hand game with one of them, I better prepare to play it 10 more times with all the other girls.  When I regulate the situation they will look up at me with their puppy dog eyes and whimper for my sole attention.  It is heartwarming, but it gets tiring!  I have to hide out in the teacher's lounge in order to have some alone time.  

I've never realized how draining love could be!  Good thing I don't have a boyfriend because I wouldn't have anything leftover to give him.  I guess you could say I am in a relationship with my occupation.
