I got called on in natural resources this morning. I wasn’t really prepared, and the part I was prepared for I read a couple of days ago, in addition to the fact that the case was in a packet that I managed to rip apart this morning. So there I was, fumbling with loose pieces of paper that were out of order, and panicking that I wasn’t going to know any of the answers. This is the fourth straight semester that I have had this particular teacher (cause I like him). Here is the exchange.
Me: (shuffling papers, blacking out) “Ummm, well, I read this the other day, so bear with me while I get it together.”
Appel: “Well, it is nice to know that nothing ever changes, does it, Ms. Paine?”
(class erupts in laughter)
the thin line between optimism and delusion...
