Yesterday I had my first ever school visit, and I'd like to thank Ms. Story and her class for having me--and for being so much fun! I was really nervous before I got to the school (and okay, when I got there), but once I met everyone and we started talking, I felt totally at ease and it's because everyone was so nice (and asked such great questions!)

I also have a lot of links to share...

I didn't know TRL was still on either
