Take One for the Team

So there's a point when you see the TA sitting up front, sweat forming on her forehead, angst in her eyes, that you think to yourself, "I am going to bring it upon myself to save her from her overwhelming feeling of failure and anxiousness." And then you put your reputation on the line just to cause a stir in the classroom, to get people talking and to get your poor TA out of the hot seat.

That, ladies and gentlemen, was my only accomplishment today. (kinda sad, huh) I acted like I didn't understand the purpose for reading this one book in class (denying the obvious) just so other kids could be inspired to talk about why the book was important and basically, passively, call me a moron. And hey, it was ok. I took one for the team. Everyone in the class got a self-esteem boost because they understood the obvious and I "didn't," the TA goes home happy because the class learned how to participate, and I go home with the knowledge that I have that kind of manipulative power under my fingertips.

In other news, who's counting down for Spring Break? ME. Sleep will be had.

KyllyansRed: i'm sick of reading their away messages
lzhang323: don't do it, you know you'll miss their gay ass away messages in a day
lzhang323: and you'll feel lonely and like you have no friends otherwise
KyllyansRed: i guess you're right.
lzhang323: i'm so right
KyllyansRed: i'm glad you've realized i base my self worth on the size of my buddy list.
