another false alarm.

I was dropping off some handouts for copies in the English office and AA came by and asked me for help on his syllabus. For a class I took from him my senior year. He wanted to know when papers should be due, and how long between the abstract and the final paper. I said it didn't matter when I got a paper assignment, I was going to start it two weeks before it was due.

He didn't like that answer very much. So I said something about how well I work under pressure. He rolled his eyes. I said, "I don't remember ever getting anything below an A from you." His response? "I seem to remember an A-"

The truth? I think there was a B+ once.
