today in chinese class, everyone was groggy as usual
as for me, i was feeling more energetic, cheery, and optimistic.
so much so that when my teacher said "lai, everyone repeat
after me in chinese," i sat at the edge of my seat and took a
deep breath, ready to give her an enthusiastic response.
she said "home-"
and almost interrupting her, i said "HOME!"...in english
while the people around me mumbled "jia."
immediately, my teacher looked at me and i just smiled
blissfully like a child. and she gave a little chuckle.
was i possibly the least awake student there? another john lee
moment to put in the books. nonchalant and disarming...
