I love my Spanish class.
I love Spanish because it is pretty fun, and interesting, and I have a good teacher.
I also love Spanish class because there is this one really cool guy in my class - I don’t know his name - but almost every day he comes in wearing a large, orange knit hat over a mass of dreadlocks, carrying a bag with buttons on it with words on them like “Hello to all the friends I haven’t met yet” and wearing shirts that have pictures of wind turbines on them, or some other sort of environmentally friendly logo, and then he sits down after saying “Hola” in a sort of soft way, and takes out a glass jar, the kind you might find preservatives in, but instead of jellied fruit, it is full of chocolate milk.
Once he brought in a hanging potted plant and a cactus, and he held up the cactus to our teacher and said “como se dice?”
“cacto” said my teacher
And today we were talking about media, like television and newspapers and how much time we spent watching television, and he said “No tengo un television.” Which is so awesome. How many people don’t own a television? Okay well I mean I guess you can always watch your TV online now, but somehow I think he is more concerned about other things. Just think about all the other things we could be doing not stalking people on facebook, not watching TV, not spending time surfing the web. I always get really excited about thinking about all the things I could be doing, but then when I actually try to do those other things I just get tired and bored and go back to doing what I was doing before…

Woa! I’m in that class! And I do not think I will ever forget that individual either. We should ask him his story. P.S. check out my blog WTF Weather?! It should be up when I get another post up.
