(no subject)

So I gave my Dante speech today, and it went swimmingly. I waited around after class to ask my instructor how I did, and he said "Well, I had to knock thirty points off because you went over your time". And I was all like Kirsten Dunst in Drop Dead Gorgeous when she was asked to name and spell all fifty states (in alphabetical order): "...Seriously?" Then he cracked a shit-eating grin and said "No...APRIL FOOL'S!"

I wanted to kick him in the teeth.

It turns out that I had perfect time. And he gave me props for exhibiting grace under pressure when my visual aid started to fall off of the stand. Smug bastard. You don't do that to a high-strung girl -- you're liable to get punched in a very uncomfortable place (No, not the back of a Volkswagen).

It's such a relief to be done with that. Now all I have to worry about (yeah right) is my persuasive speech. I'm thinking of doing something stupendously simple; like "Why you should use trash cans". None of this "The Neopolitical Implications of Dante Alighieri's Hell" stuff.

I'm in a famously good mood today. w00t!

*smooches to all*
