After Class

I’m really glad I went back to work because at work I’m not an aquarium but a human being who dispenses knowledge and exercises authority.

I told the students that we will be reviewing the past tenses and they groaned in desperation. So I promised them that I will prove that the preterit and the imperfect can be fun. By the end of the class, everybody was laughing, shouting, and greatly enjoying the class. I had to make them leave. Most aquariums cannot do something like this.
