N is on the computer next to me in the teacher's room reading spanish out loud into a microphone hooked up to the computer. i think she's making a recording for a class. she's from costa rica and her spanish has a lulling quality.
i'm sitting in the computer room so late because i'm feeling broke. also because i think i'm having a big wanker moment. i had a late invitation to go out tonight but passed. B wanted to meet up at 9 and i just wasn't feeling it and am feeling broke. can't wait for payday next week!! instead of going out i'm hunkering down tonight and reading. next up is "empire falls" by richard russo.
three classes today. all went well. in the first two we talked about "hey ya" by outkast again and in the third class we talked about the electoral college (ugh). my favorite part of teaching outkast is the line "don't want to meet your daddy, just want you in my caddy." no one knows what this means and when i tell them their faces light up! very cool!
most people i've met here, students and professors alike, are absolutely baffled by the whole electoral college thing. and it's wicked hard to explain-- especially in french.
feel like curling up with a big cup of tea and hibernating. must be the weather.
