I am strongly reminded of why, exactly, I refused for a long time to take a beginning modern language class: textbook exercises and scenarios notoriously infantile, class discussion insipid. Nevertheless, have gotten through first day without making complete fool of self or causing bodily harm to air-headed classmates. Am not sure which is the greater accomplishment. Thank you, Mummy and Daddy, for paying for private liberal arts college. Just think – I too could have been a self-absorbed Valley Girl who insists on proclaiming loudly and angrily, while the professor is talking, “I like f****ing need this f***ing class! This is like my last f****ing quarter, and this is like the only f****ing like upper division class I haven’t like taken! F****ing sh*t!” three or four times.
Okay, so I’m still self-absorbed.
