Right now I am sitting in my GREAT friend Jenni's classroom of 7th grade math students. My flight out to Utah for this afternoon is canceled due to the dang weather and now I am stuck in the DC area for another day. (I will post about this vacation visiting Jenni in DC when I get home.) I miss you Brandon:(.
Anyways, 7th grade math came back to me in a flash. I now have all the area formulas re-memorized and could most likely pass a Geometry Test with flying colors. Thanks Jenni! You are a great teacher.
Some of the students were hilarious. This post is just to record a funny conversation I had with a fellow Asian during 3rd period.
7th grader: "So, where are you from?" (He sits in the desk closest to the teacher's desk, which is where I was sitting.)
Me: "I am from Utah."
7th grader: "Oh Utah. Huh. I was just wondering because you look Asian."
Me: "Oh yeah. Good job for catching that right on. Most people think I am Hispanic or Polynesian."
7th grader: "Yeah, you look Asian."
Me: "Well, you look Asian too."
7th grader: "I am. I am Filipino."
Me: "Asians are good because they can always pick out a fellow Asian."
7th grader: "Yeah. (While motioning a head nod and giving me some kind of salute.) COM.MUN.ITY!"
The darnedest things that even Junior High kids say. Awesome.

You'd think after going to Taiwan I should have guessed that too, but like you have said in a different post I was one that got it wrong. I still don't feel as bad though since their own kind (Hispanic) also think you are. Miss you too!
