well, that was interesting.
9 Oct 2002 04:56 pmpeople grovelled to today:
1. miyama-sensei. in person and by email.
2. tawa-sensei (my advisor/idol/reason i came to this school). in person. only it was sort of friendly and she ruffled my hair. i miiiiissssss her. wah.
3. the shrinks' secretary via email.
4. logic professor via email.
5. writing professor in person.
grovelling is an interesting experience for me because i have never in my life (at least, as long as i can remember) doubted that i was smarter, cuter, and just generally better than pretty much everyone. so in my head there's the part concentrating on acting suitably humble, and the part giggling insanely, and then, of course, the part bitchbitchbitching because HE'S the moron and HE SHOULD BE GROVELING TO ME, DAMMIT, MOTHERFUCKER WHO CALLS SCIENCE FICTION 'SCI FI' AND LIKES ANNA FUCKING KARENINA.
