Somehow...

I have duped many of my students into thinking that I am an actual cool person.  Mostly this has to do with the fact that I am a New Yorker (the fact that I am not from the city has little to no importance in their eyes), which gets me instant cool points with any French adolescent.  But today we did a lesson on American music and I had them listen to a Kanye West song and try to write down the missing lyrics on the handout I gave them.  Apparently, massively cool.  Later, we discussed musical preferences - their tastes ranged from Pink Floyd to Sum 41 to Snoop Dog to Aretha Franklin.  An eclectic group.  They had me recommend my favorite bands, and they recommended some French music that doesn't suck.  We spent some time in each class bashing Katy Perry and wishing we could sing like Adele.  It was a fun day at work, and really what more can you ask for?
