notes from Chaucer class

Teacher: "That's a really good reading, actually."

-Interpretation: teacher didn't expect dumb girl to provide any sort of analysis today. Stress falls on the word actually.

While teacher discusses point dumb girl has just made, dumb girl says, "YEAH" aloud, in accordance with teacher's commentary. Reason for that being, dumb girl is pretty excited about having received praise in class for the first time this semester.

Some people think in class lecture consists purely of an ongoing banter between themselves and the professor.

Some people feel they have to share every thought that pops into the little heads.

Some people really like to hear themselves talk.

15 minutes left of class....

I should've taken Milton.
