Do you remember back in school when the teacher would be out and you’d have a lazy sub or maybe your teacher was being lazy and 
you’d get to watch a video? The sound of a projector clicking around still makes me sleepy.[1]
I have a story I have to edit to enter in a contest and I was supposed to do it yesterday since the deadline for submission was today but they extended the deadline so, of course, I put it off again.
Not anymore![2]
Today, class, I have movies for you. The first is a NPR rap that is sure to make you wonder why white people would ever think it’s a good idea to attempt rapping. Case in point: Vanilla Ice[3]
The second movie is of what the kids call a “flash mob/flashmob.” ->”a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and pointless act for a brief time, then disperse.”[4]
This movie will leave you with goose bumps and possible a tear in your eye.
And I don’t want to see any of you sleeping so keep your heads off of your desks!
Note: There is some debate[5] over how I discovered the Hallelujah flashmob video. Rachel and Alana BOTH posted the video on Facebook with Rachel’s post coming right before Alana’s. SO I guess Rachel wins? Cause this is a contest and stuff.
