Classes started yesterday and it was all well and good. Some how my third year japanese majors found out my chinese name ���� a fu and they all started giggling uncontrolably when I walked in the door and whispering it amogst themselves. Then when we were playing this name game in the same class one dude got a little too excited and fell over a desk and broke it.
But the strangest thing happened today. We had a bout fifteen inutes left in class so I decided to fill it up by doing a little introductory excercise where the students come up with three statements about themselves, two true and one false. I started the bal rolling by telling them that 1. I could drive a car, 2. I could dunk a basketball 3. I spoke french. They easily guessed that #2 was false.
Then I asked if any of the students wanted to share. One guy raises his hand and I tell him to go ahead. 1. I want to go abroad, 2. I want to buy a new bike, 3. I love a girl in this class. After he says this the class gets exctied. Most people believe that 3 is false, but then he discloses that it was actually # 2. After this the class goes out of control and it takes me about 5 minutes to calm them down. (On a side note has anyone noticed how Chinese students english voices are about 10 times softer than their chinese voices? My voice is the mean between the too so I can never get speak over the class when they get really excited and start shouting in chinese.)
After that delightful admission, I randomly pick a girl to give her statements. She stands up and says; 1. I want a new computer, 2. I lost my electric car 3. My classmates parents went on a date together (presumably two different students). It turns out that #1 was wrong in this sense. Luckily the bell rings and I get to leave the class with only an admission of love and an accusation of adultery. If it had kept goiing maybe I would have found out about a satanic lebian cult at our school (one can dream…).
Anyway, I think our next class might have to be on tact.
