After teaching my classes today, a man working at the entrance of a hotel stopped me and asked if we could talk so he could practice his English. Half-an-hour later, I know his whole life’s story. I’ll stop by again after work tomorrow; it would be good to build a rapport with some locals. As it was today, I had to leave because I needed to get my clothes to the laundromat before it closed at eight. The laundromat shares a building with the school, so I talked to the people who worked there for a bit too. Upon getting back, I had to do some homework for my Data Analytics in the Humanities class; then I made scrambled eggs. I know I promised a review of Be Here Now for today, but I have like thirty pages left in Gravity’s Rainbow, one of the other books I’ve been reading, so I’m going to cut this short and finish that, and then yall will get two book reviews later this week.
