We started class by talking about Dennis Rodman an how he is friends with the North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Dennis called him a good guy. Some people thought he was going to help release an American from a Korean prison. Dennis agreed to coach the North Korean basketball team for the Olympics. Syria accepted a Russian proposal to put their chemical weapons under international control. We went over the eastern European countries. There are over 200 slang terms for marijuana.
