I accidentally incited a major panic in my 6th grade Spanish class today. Every day, as they come in and work on the first activity, I play a different type of Spanish music. Today, one of my students brought in a Selena CD. As I was explaining what Selena's music was known for and how her life was celebrated in a movie starring Jennifer Lopez, one student raised her hand and asked, "Didn't she die? Didn't her best friend kill her?" and I started to explain that yes, it was a very big tragedy and that one of her managers and friends killed her, but that she is remembered for her music. Hands shot up and immediately people got very upset.
"JENNIFER LOPEZ IS DEAD?!"
So then I had to establish that Jennifer Lopez is alive and well. And then we wrote to our pen pals in Costa Rica! And then I went to the car inspector so I could get collision insurance and then I went to the bank so I could close my account because my checks were lost in the mail and I need to get a new account number but it took way too long so I have to go back tomorrow and then I called the free clinic so I can get a TB test so I can send in a complete form to UH - Manoa so I can register for fall classes so I can send in another form to get health insurance. And then I got papers notarized so I can send in papers to the DOE so I can finally get paid sometime soon. And then I attempted to search for a post office so I could send the letters to the pen pals in Costa Rica but failed miserably so that will have to wait til tomorrow.
