Is it really the stupidest thing I've ever said, to the blind girl, "Oh, we live near each other - I'll be seeing you around!"? [Puppy's sad eyes lured me into the elevator..]
Or was it agitating my Contracts prof to the point that he spent more time trying to ridicule me than discussing points of law? The best part of that is that because I relentlessly continued with my pursuit of right to question that about 5 people followed suit - he just about had an apoplectic fit. "I'm the one asking questions!" he's cried throughout the term. Well, not today Mr. Dean of Law School, not today. I've had enough subversive students to know exactly how to play this game. I'll be subverting his paradigm. I really did try to be his notion of a good student, but I just can't.
In his defense, he was quite kind at the end to me when I actually answered a question instead of pushing further with his questions. He ended the class by saying what a great answer it was (though did have to make an unfortunate joke based on my last name and archery).
OK, five minutes until next class (Torts), must finish prep notes for that.

Here's my stupid blind story:
One time in Paris, I was standing at the curb waiting to cross a busy intersection, and a blind man came up beside me. The pedestrian light turned from a shilouette of a red man to a shilouette of a green man, indicating time to cross. Not knowing what to say, and probably not having the vocabulary to say it anyway, I simply said: "L'homme est vert."
Then, on the trek across the street, which was very wide and slanted, I kept frantically tapping his arm to keep him "in line" so to speak.
Still feel stupid?
