We are currently in a World Religion class that our dear friend Ashley MN took last year. Our professor is of a certain eastern background. As a result of fore-said background- he is unable to pronounce certain syllables of the English language properly. Here lies a few reflections on our audible experiences in this class:

1. "IS THAT WIGHT..." At the end of every statement, our professor adds this delightful statement, is that wight? He seems to not fully understand what that means, is that wight? In this class, we talk about many topics and ideologies that are new to most of the students in the class, is that wight?

2. "VERRY, VERRY, VERRY, VERRY..." To stress the importance of many things, our beloved professor uses this generic adjective. It makes us question his knowledge of the English language, yet when we read our text book- he writes better English and we could ever speak.

3. "I LOVE YOU, I LIKE YOU." He is constantly telling us, his students, how much he loves us and thinks of us as a family, which is part of his Confucian upbringing.

4. "TODAY, YOU WILL ENJOY THE FIRST MIDTERM EXAMINATION." Now imagine the "enjoy" part spoken slowly and "the first midterm examination" spoken Verry, verry, verry, verry quick. Like we are really going to enjoy it, is that wight?

With the end of our reflections, we smile and think of his small eyes being magnified by his gigantic glasses and giggle as we try to imitate his delightful accent. Ashley can do it the best- I can only do the "is that wight."
