Thoughts during class

I have two students who are very meticulous but very slow. They were still working 40 minutes after everyone else had finished up and left.

This popped into my head.



Many others have done it, but the Sablon version is the first one I knew (though I prefer the Tino Rossi version, the YouTube version of it is blocked in the US for copyright reasons, apparently. I have the Rossi version on one of my CDs....)

And yes, it is a song about a man (or a woman; Dietrich sang it) waiting for his ladyfriend (or her manfriend) to return, but still there's that aspect of "I'm WAITING and it's BORING and I want to be GONE FROM HERE."
