89. Funny how doing a good deed works
Mon Jan 13, 2020, 12:02 PM
Jan 2020

During my under grad I was taking an intro to journalism course, they brought in someone who was not a professor who worked for the local paper to teach the course.

She tended to wear black slacks, and one day leaned against the black board when she was speaking to us, getting a big line of chalk across the back of her butt.

No one said anything the rest of the class, I hung while everyone left after the class ended and told her one of the hazards of teaching was wearing black pants and leaning on blackboards. Took her a second but she got it, smiled and said thanks.

I did the math after the final and had fell a few points from getting an A, but when I got my grades, got an A.
