Happy Valentine’s Day, Loves! I have some yummy sugar cookies with me today, and after I try to pacify C. Ron with a few, they would love to be consumed by anyone and everyone. Please come find me and eat cookies, I am in room J right now and then I’m headed to C – where I will be for two hours.
C. Ron isn’t necessarily mad at ME – I mean, he is made at me, but he is also mad at our whole class. For being late all the time. I tell Maggie every day that people need to stop being ten minutes late to class. Then, this morning I ended up being ten minutes late. Of course, today was the day when he decided to yell at everyone for being late. Now, I chose a seat next to the door, at the end of the aisle, because I know I am sometimes late, and I know I get claustrophobic sometimes and have to get up in the middle of class.
So, the whole class is being yelled at for coming in late, and I stroll in at the conclusion of this speech. And what do you know, someone is sitting in my seat. So I can’t even slink into my chair and hope C. Ron doesn’t notice. But he isn’t talking, and I refuse to look, but I’m pretty sure he is staring at me. So I walk over to the corner and put my stuff down on the ground, and look around for a seat.
He stopped talking – and stared at me while I tried to find a seat – and he said – "Is there a chair?"
and I said – "I don’t see one, someone is in my seat" –
and he said – "I don’t want you to have to stand all class"
and I say – "it is okay, I should have gotten here on time"
And
then someone finally pointed out a seat to me, in the middle of a row
of 2Ls who all think I should probably throw myself off the balcony of
the library after this humiliation. But I did get to sign the attendance sheet. And I won’t be coming in late anymore. I am only motivated by fear. It is good that the anger was directed towards me.
Update: C. Ron didn’t want any cookies, so I have lots. Also, he apologized for embarrassing me, I told him I was okay with it and I apologized for being late. So I think we are on good terms now.
the thin line between optimism and delusion... 
“I am only motivated by fear. It is good that the anger was directed towards me.”
You will make somebody a great wife one day.
Maybe, you’re wondering how come I landed on your blog. If so, you might want to apportion some of the blame to Evan Schaeffer’s http://www.legalunderground.com, which by the bye has a rather neat blogroll.
Anyway, upon visiting your little nook in the vast galaxy of the Internet, I surmised you’d welcome some insight concerning President William Jefferson Clinton.
I, for one, can be easily persuaded that President Clinton introduced … ah, maybe not in so many words … “evolutionary economics”. Acting within the constraints, imposed by this new economic discipline, the man made possible the hope that the nation’s national debt could be discharged.
