See, I knew I shouldn't have said anything about parking. After I wrote my post this morning I dashed over to school to try to get my teacher's signature for financial aid and there wasn't any parking at all on campus. Since he was only out of the office for one hour (and of course, I couldn't find parking before that one hour time frame), I ran some errands and then went back when he was going to be in his office. No parking. Tried all three lots on campus, finally ended up in the old drive in theater across the street, which is the college's overflow lot.

Got in to see Mr. Wheeler, who has a wicked, dry sense of humor. He asked me what other classes I'm taking this quarter, and I totally forgot. I said, "er, education something or other....with Mr. Hughes." Mr. Wheeler frowned, "education? Do you mean legal writing? legal research?" I strained my brain, "er, edu...hmm. It's the special topics thing. In education?" "Ohhh," Mr. Wheeler said, enlightened, "You mean employment law." I blushed, "Er, yeah. I knew it started with an 'e.'"

Naturally Mr. Hughes, who teaches that class snuck up from behind me then and said, "Should my feelings be hurt that you forgot what class I'm teaching?" Mr. Wheeler said, "At least she knew it started with an 'E.'"

After he signed my form and we chatted about internship possibilities for me next quarter, Mr. Wheeler turned to Mr. Hughes (they share a tiny little office) and said, "So she's taking 'E' from you. (at which I naturally started babbling and got flustered) She's a very good student. Very good." That made me babble even more especially when Mr. Hughes replied, "Yes, I've already noticed that." Well! I gibbered and thankfully didn't upset my cup of coffee as I continued to babble and genuflect, backing slowly out of the room, completely flustered and agitated.

That'll teach me to never go to see my instructors while drinking a double shot mocha. :)
