Now that I'm being paid to smile and patronize, I don't think I will do that again without any incentives, monetary or otherwise.

And I used to despise teachers who have favourites, those pro at suckingup pets. Now I think that is really childish on my part. That is just human nature. To like certain people. People who love us. Or at least seem to.

You are forsaking the love of a spring tulip, for the lust of a desert camel. Breaking boundaries is overrated.
