I went to Spanish Class today, I didn't FEEL like going to Spanish Class today.
I'm sitting there, with my head on my bag, writing down "unique" names on this piece of paper. I start talking with these two girls about eyebrows...
I glance at my watch.... 10:05
I hear someone say, "do we leave at 10:10 or 10:15?"
I continue my conversation on eyebrows.
"Ok. So" Guy stands up. "I'm not going to leave if I'm going to be the only one."
10:14
so the class decided to leave a note for our teacher on the board:
Senora.
We waited till (insert squiggly lines here that mean 'about') 10:15. We have decided we will have the test on Wednesday now. Review on Monday. See you then (Monday at 10:00).
Sincerly, your 10:00 class.
So we're leaving, and we get word on the way out that she has a flat tire.
Senora Barrio is a tall skinny lady. Remember when Gwen Stefani had those knots on her head? That's how Senora Barrio's hair is. She's in her 40's, shakes and smiles when she talks.
I can see her now, driving to West Chester. For some reason, I picture her in this little box-like car, driving with her chin on the steering wheel, squinting because she can't see the road signs. When suddenly, she hears a pop. She sits back, startled and yells, "DOS MIOS!!!"
As she pulls over, her car now making this weird flapping noise, she starts saying things like, "Dangit!" and "Oh sugar!" because honestly, I cannot see that woman cussing.
So she parks her car, and looks at her watch. She sees its 9:00 and she doesn't know what to do. She's got a 9:00 class, a 10:00 class, and an 11:00 class. Will she make it?
The Triple A guy comes, and she's almost in tears. She's let down her spanish classes. They were so eager to learn. So eager to stand up and do "ejercios" with her. They were so eager to speak SPANISH!!!
And where was she? She was sitting in her car, tearing her mind apart, thinking about her "estudiantes" and how their little hopeful spanish hearts would be torn apart this morning when she didn't show up.
in conclusion, as I was walking down the stairs of Main Hall with my friends, one of them said, "Watch her come up the stairs now."
I looked at him, I said, "Don't even joke. That would be like giving a three year old candy and taking it away from them. That's just wrong.. "
RIP Senora Barrio's tire.
Thanks for cancelling Spanish Class for me today.
