This week we taught the passive voice in my 9th form class. They had the homework assignment of turning passive sentences to active. While checking their homework, one of my boys wrote on the board "Justin gave the dog food" for "Food was given to the dog." He turned to me, pointed at the board, chuckled a bit and said "Boy. Justin." I smiled and said, "Yes, like Justin Timberlake." He looked at me quizzically and said, "No, Justin Bieber."
I'm irrelevant. I'm only 23 years old and I'm already not "in the know." I blame it on the fact that I'm living in Azerbaijan and not on the fact that Justin Timberlake was my school girl crush ten years ago. I'm currently saying goodbye to my self image as a cool, young, hip teacher and waiting for the wrinkles and cellulite to settle in.
