About a month ago amidst grading finals, overseeing promotion speech re-edits, organizing a field trip, putting on our school's first dramatic production, and maintaining general order (if you could harness the energy of adolescents on the brink of summer break, you would make a fortune), I received a much needed pat on the shoulder from Theresa at CineMaven's: ESSAYS from the COUCH. She recognized Classic Reel Girl with a Liebster Award.
It may not seem like much, but to me, it was the extra boost I needed to get through the end of the school year. The light at the end of the tunnel that said yes, you are more than a drill sergeant, than a grantor of bathroom passes (or big meanie who doesn't), than investigator of who drew that male part on the bulletin board, desk, book.... There's a reason why Jane Russell's earrings in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes make me think of something else. Call it teacher radar or overexposure to middle school "artwork."
I digress. Since Theresa's nom, I have also been nominated by Phyl from Phyllis Loves Classic Movies. For this, I am equally grateful. Thank you ladies!

The Award
Cue the mood music.
So what exactly is this award? The Liebster Award is not so much an award as it is a getting to know you game. It is kind of like those breaking the ice activities at the beginning of a new class, training, meeting, etc. Except this one gives you the opportunity to get know bloggers who are new on the scene. Plus, it's fun answering the questions.
The Duties
There are four parts to the award:
1) Answer the questions of the blogger who nominated you.
2) Share 11 random facts about yourself.
3) Pay it forward - Nominate up to 11 bloggers for the award.
4) List 11 questions for the bloggers you nominated.
