team jacob

do you know when you have those moments that are just really funny to you? that happens to me a lot... most of the time it is just at an inappropriate time to laugh.

let's say you have a serious teacher for example. he/she might not be prone to laughing along. my bad.

anyways, we were doing an activity where you stand up if you are associated with a certain group of people. (some examples were rich people, muslim people, catholic people, black people...) i pretty much stood up for every category, being that i am from modesto, california-the prime example of melting pot in the united states.

so the last category she gave was if we were associated with native americans. i thought for a bit, and i realized that i don't know any native americans. this was kind of sad for my perfect streak of knowing pretty much all types of people! i said quietly to my group, "does jacob black count?" they thought it was hilarious because they laughed quite loudly... my teacher looked over in my direction and said "anything you would like to share?" and it was awkward because it was only the first day. i am still in the unsure stage of not knowing what teachers will tolerate. so i'm sure i turned bright red and said "does jacob black count?" woops... she rolled her eyes and continued with the class. "but i was just kidding..." awwwkward...

so i guess i learned two things: 1) the arts semester is over and comments of such nature are no longer appreciated. 2) i do not know a non-fictional native american.
