Ive been thinking a lot about something completely different ever since I started French classes last September. It turns out sitting in a classroom with a dozen other people who are desperately trying to understand what the teacher just said is a great way to take your mind off the troubling events swirling around us. At least for a couple of hours.
So for the month of December were taking a break.
That doesnt mean the Soapbox is closed. Were always interested in hearing your thoughts on the events of the day and why theyre important. So were turning the stage over to you.
Feel free to comment about anything youd like (within reason). Im especially interested in what everyone is doing to stay sane in these crazy times.
As I said, what Im doing is taking French. In our last class we played a game where someone picked a letter of the alphabet and the class had to come up with a verb, a sport/leisure activity, something you could eat, and something youd find in your house that started with that letter before the klaxon went off. The person with the most points won.
Its amazing how competitive a bunch of adults trying to learn French can be.
Okay, now its your turn. Do you have some thoughts youd like to share about politics? If not, what are you doing thats completely different?
The Soapbox is yours.
