Today, in Class... Of Love and Crackheads

Today, in class, the kids were *supposed* to be studying for their massive final exam, which is tomorrow. They were studying in small groups reading over their study guides.

Kid 1: Man, I don't remember this stuff. Heian period Japan? What was that?

Kid 2: I dunno, but I think that has something to do with courtly love.

Kid 3: She's messed up! Doing all those drugs. She looks like she's on crack. She's just crazy.

Kid 1 and Kid 2: *blink*blink*

Kid 2: COURTLY love, not COURTNEY Love.

Kid 3: She's a crackhead.

Kid 1: *blink*blink*

Kid 3: I mean Courtney Love's a crackhead, not you!

    Beth one of the thrills of going back to school at 38, is being able to sit with the kids in class. At 18 years old, there isn't much difference from your students. I could eat them up...they're so precious! I just chopped off my hair because one of the girls talked me into it. My husband said that if I come home with purple hair, he isn't going to let me go back, lol!
    I love this post!

    Discussing Courtney Love always helped ease my anxiety while studying for exams. I'm just sayin'.
