With almost two months under my belt, and midterms right around the corner, I think it is safe to say I have fallen in love…with my English III class. English I and II, are a barrel of laughs, don’t get me wrong, but having a room full of 50 beginners doesn’t exactly make for an easy two hours. So it’s when English III rolls around every Tuesday and Thursday evening that I get really excited!
A class of 15, brilliant and articulate, we sit around a table and engage in what is always stimulating conversation.
They teach me about their country, and I correct their pronunciation and the occasional grammatical slip up.
During Tuesday’s Creative Writing session, one of my students produced this gem:
Everyday doing business is getting harder and harder…
I remember the good old days when trading was simple…before a cup of coffee. At that time it was easy to know what to expect, just looking people into their eyes. Nowadays, things are really different:
- a bank account number for the deposit…
- and the location of the bag…
Usually an isolated part of the park into which you will have to walk alone…
Part of the deal…they say!
No guarantee,
What a life!
There was nothing that proceeded or followed this passage, but its still so undeniably intriguing.
As is Sufjan's new album. listen up - it's so good.
