Don’t Erase Me

The spanish translation for wife is ‘esposa’

The plural would be, ‘esposas’

‘eposas’ is also translated to ‘handcuffs’

(ball and chain, man…)

We had an interesting assignment this week in physics..  We were actually reviewing graphing and slope and all such things but you have to love the way we did it.

Mr. Choi told us to bring a barbie doll to school. We were going to tie rubber bands to it and drop from 2 meters with various numbers of rubber bands attached. Why a barbie doll? we asked. He replied, “Because it’s more realistic!”

Barbie went bungee jumping in my physics class… poor Barbie, she got a concussion..

We got to drop her of the second floor railing the next day :)    ..to see if we could measure the right amount of rubber bands needed to “give Barbie the greatest thrill without killing herself”…

By the way, while encouraging us to ask questions in his class, Mr. Choi shared his insight on American marriage.  “That’s why there are so many divorces in America! They don’t ask questions!!  they ask, ‘what kind of carrr do you drive?’  no.. that doesn’t mean Anything!”   (unfortunately part of what makes it funny is the way he says it.. and you just have to hear it to get it)

Oh, Mr. Choi… you’re quite amusing

With the new school year, I am taking physics! I was excited to start this class because I’m going to do a lot of physics later on. The teacher of this class is named Mr. Choi. He’s quite an interesting character, so I would like to share with you so of the things he says. We’ll start with toe socks.

Mr. Choi wears toe socks and sandals everyday, no matter what the weather. He says that all the Asian people look alike, but Koreans are still the best looking. (he’s Korean, you see) When people see him they say, “you know, I think I’ve seen you before” Then he says he just lifts his leg up and shows them his toe socks and they remember him.

He had a competition for us on Friday, we had to build the tallest and most stable free-standing structure out of paperclips, tape and straws. The winner got toe socks!! and guess what!!  I WON!!! Woohoo!!!

I’ve been wearing my toe socks all weekend

next time: why he’s a teacher….
