Sign Please!

I was walking home when a group of girls came running up to me screaming.
Katie-sensei, Katie-sensei, sign please!
They all had pens and paper, and were eagerly awaiting my autograph. It was a bizzare moment for me. I'm not sure if they mistook me for someone famous (though they knew my name),  if I have become that infamous in town, or if they just really like foreigners signatures.
After letting the wave of confusion wash over me, I did infact sign their papers, I even pulled out my stamps, and ink, and stamped "you're awesome" next to the signature.
I'm still a little dumfounded, but seeing as this is probably the closest I will ever come to being a star.... I'll just take a moment to enjoy it.
