it's amazing to me how much english kids learn from rap songs: this guy in class today asked me questions like, are cops in america corrupt? do they sell the drugs they confiscate from criminals? after class i asked this kid, what rap songs are you listening to? and he told me, snoop dogg. yeah!! hey, if that's what it takes...
my schedule is picking up next week. i actually have some classes to go to. i feel ready and not too nervous. i'm still counting on my own rap song to get me through ("hey ya" by outkast).
tomorrow i am going to town for shopping with a professor. it will be good to get out. reims is setting up their annual christmas market in the city square. it opens nov. 26 and will feature crafts, gifts, candies. i'm looking forward to fresh pralines. sunday afternoon is lunch at another professor's house. wheeee!!
