Tonight's post will be two-fold

Firstly, my day. Aside from a sort of rocky start with the waking up, the bathroom, the bus and the cold, I made it to class on time. I listen to Professor Watkins talk about the Elizabethan Pastoral and drew little sheep all over my notes. I hiked across the bridge to Art History, where I was forced to spend the minutes before class looking at the pictures Professor Weisberg had sent from Barcelona, where he is at a conference or something this week (and thus, I hate him). So the TA, Sarah, was giving the lecture this week. And I swear, this is what years of watching Gilmore Girls has prepared me for. This woman gives a lecture like Lane Kim delivers a rant, lightning fast. But I followed pretty well, and you know what the perk is to uber fast lectures? You get done 20 minutes earlier. After some lunch I went to my first day as tutor extraordinaire at "La Escuelita," an after-school program for latinos in Minneapolis. It was actually really fun. I got to play games and eat pizza with some great kids, plus watch a presentation by some Aztec dancers, which, Dad, you would have loved. It was actually eerily like the presentation we saw in Glacier of the Blackfeet Indians (in fact, the woman who did the presentation was a lawyer, just like the Blackfoot guy). And I tell you, I want one of their crazy headresses. Just to wear. You know, around campus.

OK, today's prompt: (btw, in case you're wondering, I get these off a website)
If you could trade in your car for another form of transportation, what would it be?

Well, seeing as how I don't have a car, I'll just take this opportunity to vocalize my goal to (once I'm, like, a grown-up with a job and stuff) get a hybrid car. Or, more specifically, the "Rory Gilmore Prius." I'll just leave it at that for tonight.

It is good to see your multicultural school experience was positive. I had an ELL student try to write a persuasive paragraph about banning gays from America. Needless to say, he didn't have adequate support for his position. After ten minutes of explaining why "so men won't be afraid of getting raped in jail" isn't a fact, he reluctantly changed his topic.
