Ow . . . my eye . . .

Okay, Dane. First. Googling "liniment for my dignity" is DEFINITELY cheating. (Or, in your case, perhaps "definitively cheating.") It's a good book; you should read it. And I daresay IF you'd read it, you would remember the phrase. Anyway. I don't really have anything else to say right now . . .
All that's going on is that I have class from 0755 to 1530, and then again from 1635 to 1825, which means I have . . . a lot of Korean. This weekend I decided not to do any homework at all. Willfully. It worked wonders; I was so much better at the whole language on Monday that I feel as though I should never do homework again. Seriously. The burnout factor is factoring for the first time in my life. (Well . . . it may have happened in Calc once, too; sorry Mrs. P. . . . ) But then I had to go sign a counseling statement, which was actually very entertaining to me in my relaxed, don't-give-a-flying-anything state . . . It went like this:
(In classroom)
Teacher: Do you have your homework?
Me: Nope.
Teacher: Did you not bring it?
Me: You could say that.
Teacher: Can you get it at lunch?
Me: Nope.
Teacher: Uh . . . come to my office after this hour . . . ?
Me: Okay.
(later)
Teacher: Did you get your homework?
Me: Nope.
Teacher: Did you do it?
Me: Nope.
Teacher: Well, then I have to give you counseling unless you have good reason. [sic---she's Korean!]
Me: No reason; just needed the break.
Teacher: O . . . K . . . sign this one? Any rebuttal?
Me: Nope. Thanks!
Teacher: 수고했어요... [Which, of course, means something like "You worked hard" or "Well done," which is a ludicrous thing to say about signing a counseling statement. I laughed all the way down the hall.]
So that's MY life; I've been here about a year and a half with NO troubles, and in the past month, CQ's pulled me out of class TWICE, plus I got a counseling statement, and my grades are still FINE. I got a 3.8 on Unit 20 and pulled off a 100% on 19's Reading. Way to go, me! But I OPI on Monday, and I guess for people who don't know what I'm talking about, I may as well be speaking a foreign language already, but I guarantee I speak DLI-ish WAY better than I speak Korean, and I'll be lucky to PASS my OPI. Sonofa---(I've been instructed not to swear anymore . . . by myself . . . and it sounded like a good idea to me, which is why I said it, and so . . . less swearage. By gum.)
