No the title is not a reference to Bingo. (Although I am about to play that with my students in about 30 minutes.) It is the name of a vitamin.
*flashback*...I remember sitting in Spanish 4, my senior year of high school. It was a bird course. :) To make a reference to the amazing movie, Sister Act 2. "We call it a 'bird course' because we, uh, FLY right through it." If you haven't seen that movie, you should. Then you would know what I'm talking about. Anyways, Spanish 4 was pretty easy. I remember there were days when the class would convince the teacher to let us take a nap during the class instead of learn. "Senora Shewty-Tews, can we take a nap today??" She would turn the lights off and we would all lay on the floor. Who knows what happened in that hormone infested darkness. I'd rather not think about it.
Another memory from that class was the teacher's incessent talk about both her ex-husband and her great danes. Sometimes, the whole class period would go by without any of us uttering a single phrase in espanol. I kind of liked listening to her stories about her life. She loved her great danes. She promised to bring them to class but never did, as I remember, because of some rule about animals in the school. I'm sure I knew all their names back then. I can't remember them now.
I also remember her telling us about her high school experience. Everyone's is different. Some people hate it, others love it. I think she hated it. She told us that she was voted "Most Ugly." I'm serious. I remember she told us that. We laughed, thinking she was joking, but she wasn't. She said they really had that in the yearbook. I can't imagine a school allowing that, but I also can't imagine someone lying about being voted most ugly.
Another memory of Spanish 4, is her telling us about vitamin B12. I remember her telling us that vitamin B12 will give you very vivid dreams. She said if you ever want to have memorable dreams, start taking B12. I don't know why I remember that, or even why I'm sharing. But lately, I've been having pretty vivid dreams. None of them really make sense, but they seem to be relevant to my life. Because of it, I feel like I'm not rested because in my dreams, I've been so active. It's so weird. I have been taking fruit and veggie pills that you can buy at Sam's Club. I looked at the bottle and they have a big dose of B12. I looked at that and immediately was brought back to Spanish 4. I remember my teacher telling me that. I can't think of any dreams right now, but wouldn't it be fun to start writing them down? Maybe I will and share one with you.
Thanks for stopping by. And Senora Shewty-Tews, if you ever read this, just know that you impacted my life. Spanish 4 is one of my best memories of high school. I don't remember a whole lot of spanish, but I do remember you.
