Pop Off, Son!

Senior Year, I had to take Enlish Literature with a Professor who enjoyed playing
Henry David Throreau live. He had this fixation on acting like him for an entire day, and generally I feel like he thought he might really gave been reincarnated into him.

I had heard from Berg what a hard professor he could be, and since I don't do great with reading comprehension of shakespeare type literature, I knew it would be tough.

I sat 3 seats cattycorner (or kittycorner depending on where your from) from the hottest guy besides Jon Mclaughlin (yes thats right, I went to school with an up & coming gorgeous celebrity & I've seen him in a speedo).
Anyhow, this guy known as "Launchpad from Darkwing Duck or something, was a hunk.

Awkward Moment #4565: Getting yelled at for popping your gum in class, infront of the hunkiest guy in school.

We had class for a couple weeks, and before class, like 2 minutes before it started. Dr Radacker said: "You are very rude young lady. Stop popping those bubbles IMMEDIATLEY. You do it everyday, and I'm SICK OF IT! 1 more time, and I'm kicking you out" (His head looked like it was about to pop off).
Me: "uh, me? Ok"

I, never getting into trouble peer over to launchpad, with his cute little chin looking at me I feel my eyes filling with tears. For some reason, I'm just that kind of person.
I am so furious, Ok popping my bubbles, is a habit, a bad habit that I am not necessarily aware of. He shouldn't have called me out infront of everyone.
I tell Berg, and he has this "sucking up" policy. He kisses ass, so much its painful to watch. He suggests I "be a big person" and go talk to him and apologize. Yeah, right. Pfft.

After thinking about what such a bad grade I have, and looking at Bergs 4.0 I thought, that it couldnt hurt. So I did.

I said, I just wanted to apologize, and want you to know that I have a bad habit, and didn't even realize what I was doing. I'm so sorry for disrupting your class.
He just sat back and stared. He then said, I have never had a student apologize for something. And I guess I have to apologize too. I can't believe I yelled at you like that. I am so sorry, my mother has that same habit, and I can't believe I didnt think before I ... yelled.."

I think that saved my grade, b/c I didn't deserve the barely passing grade I received. Here's to sucking up! Try it, but only once, otherwise you're face will get stuck like that!
