Miss Hannah: Today, class, we're going to talk about going to the doctor. Who has ever been to the doctor?
[all raise their hands]
Miss Hannah: Good! Now why do we go to the doctor? What kinds of sicknesses can he treat?
[all are silent]
Miss Hannah: Okay...what kind of symptoms does a doctor look at?
[all are silent]
Miss Hannah: Please, people, we're just brainstorming vocabulary. Someone just tell me a disease.
[all are silent]
Miss Hannah: Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
[all are silent]
Miss Hannah: All right. You, in the back. Name a disease. Any disease.
Julio: What?
Miss Hannah: You've been to the doctor, right? What were you sick with?
Julio: What?
Miss Hannah: What disease, or sickness, did you have when you last went to the doctor?
Julio: Oh! I had smallpox, Miss.
Miss Hannah: [laughs] Yeah, kid, you and the Indians.
Julio: What?

Hi hannah,
I've been reading your blog, and it's great! I love it!
Is there any way to get an email when you post a new one? I'm so sorry you were sick, and felt bad for laughing at you : ).
Things are going well in Philly. I'm going to Madrid with Ellie in March (!!!) My crack addicts are treating nicely. We should travel together some summer. I miss you1
all my love
Cath
p.s. I found a Bob Dylan Song I like (Don't think Twice, it's alright)
