A: a hollow-weenie
when asked to tell what they picture when they think about the united states, my students said the following:
-big opportunities
-green
-lots of jobs
-people from many countries
-beautiful
-big country
-free expression
granted, these statements aren't necessarily completely accurate [lots of jobs is a big overstatement]. but it reminded me that i don't live in such a terrible place. the u.s.a. is pretty grand in many ways.
in other news, the phillies won the world series! i don't really care about baseball either way, but i think it's pretty great luck for the team that i moved here this season, ne? ;)
i'm off to head into the city and meet allen at the china bus stop in chinatown!! wahooo for a fall brother weekend!
