Countdown

School is out in 8 days! I can’t wait. I’m actually excited about being in summer school just because it means new teachers. I’m taking Sex therapy and Group therapy this summer. I am 23 now (in case certain parental units have forgotten ) This April is the first April in 6 years that nothing bad has happened (knock on wood).

I teach English once a weak to Spanish speakers. Its been a lot of fun and recently I’ve gotten to know my class better. We get together once a week to read the Bible in English, though usually we just talk in English for over half of that time, until Jonathon peeks in on us (My students are all Christians so I don’t feel guilty about not trying to push the Bible at them more. Plus I think its easier to read another language than it is to speak it so its better that we practice speaking too). After class we go to the Cracker Barrel and then after that they have been teaching me to dance bachata (not the skanky version) and salsa. I look stupid doing both but its still a lot of fun. They offered to teach me lambada but I would look like a fool trying to move my hips like that so I keep saying no. My roomie says everyone in Mexico dances and if you can’t you are considered a loser. American society should set up social stigmas like that I think.

Memphis is starting to grow on me. I still don’t want to spend the rest of my life here, but there are a lot of interesting things to do. The picture I put on this post is of Corky’s barbeque. All the barbeque places here serve barbeque nachos which sound disgusting but are actually really good. This place has been visited by a lot of wierd celebrities and presidents. Joel is the blonde guy sitting next to me. Its kinda a wierd picture of him and not quite what he looks like really but it gives you an idea.

Random: Washington state did a study and found that 50% of people can’t interpret a weather forcast. If you tell them that there is a 20% chance of rain, they assume that it means it will rain on 20% of the geographical area or only 20% of the day. I think alot of weather forecsaters are going to  go hang themselves when they see that. Still, the statistic seems too high. I mean, I think Americans are generally dumb, but I had a little more faith in them than that.
