The presentations in class were a little patriotic this morning. We were greeted with the cheerful World's Greatest Marches. Our teacher was wearing a sequin beanie and cowboy pants. Picnic tablecloths were strewn on the tables, and the banners exclaiming "Efficiency" were in the colors of red, white, and blue.
Students passed around cookies, bread, strawberries, and milk, and the teacher encouraged the class to plaster our critique sheets with gold star stickers.
It was as if I had entered the realm of ponies, kittens, and rainbows.
1. my roommate and I are slightly lactose intolerant, and after we toasted our milk to the general camaraderie, we realized our grand mistake. too many cookies and too much milk. and gold stickers for that matter.
2. The Marches was my favorite part. When I was growing up at home, my mom would wake us up to the "World's Greatest Marches" CD. The morning music would filter through the house, starting our day with vibes of patriotism. Sometimes on Saturday mornings, we would march around the house in our pajamas. Those were the days... mornings, terribly early mornings, but we made the most of them for sure.
take it or leave it, but at least listen to a few great marches, stir up your patriotic allegiances, and drink milk in moderation.
