I’m just gonna add one more little story to the things that would only happen to me. So the one day I’m late to Italian this is what goes down. I take the only seat that’s open, next to some dumbbb guy and this girl. They were partners doing a quick group project that was just about to wrap up. Since I just walked in and the little activity (not sure why we even do those at the college level) is almost over, I was sure the teacher wouldn’t be a total you know what and call on me since I just walked in. So let me explain this stupid little activity. Basically, one person wrote down the name, age, and occupation of the people in their family. Then the other person had to say “my partner’s mom’s name is…she is…years old…she does this for a living” all in Italian. Apparently my teacher is that big of a you know what because what do you know, he calls on me. So I literally take off my backpack and try to figure out what the heck is going on. Let me just say, it’s like unwritten college student code to help a sister out when she’s called on and has no idea what the heck is going on. I mean there’s several ways to handle this situation: you ‘cough’ the answer, you point to the answer, or you just whisper it! So the dummy I’m sitting next to does absolutely nothing to help me out as I’m trying to look at his paper to talk about some random member of his family. So the girl next to him is finally like “Umm hello! Let her see your paper!” So he finally lets me see and I pick the first name that’s on his list. I proceed to say “My partner’s dad’s name is… and he is 30 years old and…” There is no occupation listed so I stop. So my teacher asks to state his occupation. I look at my partner with pleading eyes, please don’t make me look even stupider than I already do. And what does he say?! He says this, “Um, my dad is dead.”
Are. You. Kidding. Me.
So long awkward pause. My teacher says Ohh uhh ok. Let’s move on. So we move on to the next part of the class. Oh don’t worry about doing the activity students because I’m not gonna call on you, I’ll just call on the person that will make it the most awkward!
Okay, I’m really honestly sorry your dad died, but why did you list him in this stupid activity? So that’s that, it was incredibly awkward. You know what else is awkward? Walking in on your suite mate while she’s on the john. Perhaps if she peed as loud as she talks this wouldn’t happen!
