My day started out extremely well... Got up, put in my contacts, then got on skype at 6am to skype for Jordan's birthday for about 15 minutes. The school day that followed was...well, bizarre is the only word I can think of right now. First of all, my teacher was late. Like 15 minutes late. Then, we somehow distracted her into talking about animals which turned into giving each person in the class an animal "name." For instance, I was a koala. Not sure why, but at least I had a panda bear next to me. The other animals included: a lion, a monkey, a giraffe, a flamingo, a sloth (this is the kid who misses class a lot and said he liked to sleep when we all introduced ourselves on the first day of class), a horse, a manatee, a mouse, a goose, a fox, a tiger, a beaver, and a peacock. Talk about a productive 30 minutes.
Next, we were divided into two groups to "debate" on the problem with TV for the youth, because they're not reading anymore. That turned into an assignment which included all of us assuming personalities on a newscast concerning the problem. We had an anchorman, a psychologist, a child, the parents, and the person responsible for choosing shows for the channels. As you can guess, as is always the case, I was the mother. I was married to the tall guy from the Netherlands, to which, when that was said, we looked at each other and said, "Enchanté." That means "Charmed to meet you." He kept forgetting the child's name, so I had to remind him and then they all decided that she wasn't really his daughter. So, not only did I get married today, but I was also unfaithful to my "husband" who yells at me and tells me I'm nothing. After being a koala. What a day.
It's these kinds of days that make me wonder why I go to class at all, but they also remind me what great things can happen when people go to class. We accomplished nothing today, except I think I made new friends with some people in my class. That's always a worthwhile experience, right?
