AND SO WE CLAPPED.

My EALC 002 Introduction to Japanese Civilization lecturer is tallish and thin and wears spectacles. She always knots her greying hair in a loose, neat bun and wears long-everything. Long-sleeve, long skirts.

I'm guessing you're imagining a kindly, fragile little old lady.
She is.

So today was like any other day.
Lecture was like any other lecture.
Halfway through, we started a new chapter, and she confessed that this section was another lecturer's specialty. She took some information off his work, but didn't have the audio for us to listen to. There were two lines on the screen, incoherent. Goodygoodygood damngoody dunno what. It's basically made up of those two words.

And then suddenly.
My tall and thin, frail-looking, grey-haired Jap lecturer started rapping.
In Jap.
She rapped the two lines out for us to hear in Jap.
*stunned*
aahahahhahahhaha.
She didn't stop when she finished.
She went on to rap another song.
this one longer and more cheem than the first.

WAHLAU i can't even rap in English, can?!?
I bet a lot of Jap youths can't even rap in Jap.
By the way, the ahhaha above is a now-laugh.
No one laughed then. Think we were a little caught off-guard.
We just sat there and listened in awe as she.. rapped.
One guy in the third row starting making "rap" hand actions.

When she stopped. there was silence.
Then the class broke out in applause and in catcalls.
HAHHA impressive can.
The teachers here are top-notch..
The lengths they go through to enterta- i mean to educate us.
