1. i start the year with my last visit to Beirut, Lebanon (where my family had recently emigrated from) for 16 years.
2. i return to new york to make my first friend in first grade - a japanese girl who doesn't speak english either. we sit on the playground at lunch, behind a bike rack and eat sunflower seeds silently.
3. Start ESL classes and as a result of being teased by all the kids in my class, I work really hard to get rid of my accent. (it works and I will forever regret it)
4. once i learn english i begin pretending that i am still having trouble with the language whenever i am about to get in trouble for something at school. (like not wanting to do show and tell, or TPing the girls bathroom)
5. my first time on an escalator i am so excited that i run up the down one and fall and cut my knee. i then proceed to bleed all over bloomingdales. 5 stiches.
