There were two funny things that happened today at school but I can only remember this one. We are talking about violence and I had them do a little activity with the statistics of rape, assault and murder. While talking about the rape statistics, I lectured the boys a little bit about how a girl's no really means no. I told them that even if you have kissed them before and they say no to kissing now, that meant no. I also told them that applies to sex as well. Then I also said that women can even be raped by their husbands, if their husband forces himself on his wife and she is not consenting. Unfortunately, I used too much of their own slang and said this: "Even if you have put a ring on her finger, it doesn't mean you get to tap that whenever you want." A little too Beyonce? Yes! One girl in class had just taken a sip of juice when I said this and she started to choke to death. I couldn't help but laughing. It was hilarious. Maybe you had to be there.
Not much else from today. I did play some "Goodminton" with two of my co-workers after work. They only beat me one game and I was playing alone and they were playing doubles. I am a fantastic badminton player.
One of my students had to have me as a partner in badminton yesterday and before we started playing he looked at me and said: "But are you good, Alice?" I responded by saying: "I guess you will see when we play." We were a pretty good team and only one other team beat us. After class my teammate came up to me and humbly said: "You really ARE good, Alice!" It was a nice compliment.
Got to go to the temple tonight. I love how it is such a peaceful place and that I can get out of the chaos of the world for an hour or so when I go to do a session. Great stuff!
Well, I am very glad it is Friday tomorrow. I am excited to sleep in on Saturday.
Cheers!
