I learned a very valuable and scary lesson this week. It scared the shit out of me for a while. When Tama and I looked at the scores file, we saw that we had zeros on assignment four, and so did Bryan. I knew that we sent it correctly. Tama set up for us to go talk to Girish on Tuesday and take in our printouts of both assignments two and four. We had never turned in number two after we sent it incorrectly. I had a strange fear that maybe Girish pulled our programs and was going to accuse us of cheating, and I joked about that. Tama said that it probably isn't. We worked on assignment six which counts as ten percent of our final grade. She had to take her cat to the vet at five thirty, and I figured on maybe meeting Melissa if she came down to work on her thesis, so I stayed and told Tama that we'd come back later that night to work on the programs. When she left, we were both finished except for some small typing errors that still had to be worked out. This time around, I had a really fun idea on how to write this program, which made it completely different than the way that I would help Tama write hers. Bryan finished this program earlier, and gave me the printout that someone had given him. There was a really simple version of a sort, that Girish had written on the board in class. Instead of fixing Tama's, I just stuck in Girish's little sort which ended up making all three of our final programs entirely different. This ended up saving my life!
When we went up to his office, and asked about the zeros, he pulled out our three assignments and said that Jeff, the grader found them to be too similar to each other. He wouldn't let me look at the programs, which ended up being a fairly straightforward one that didn't have many ways to write it differently. Since I have basically taught Tama and Bryan any of the special conventions that they know, it would only stand to reason that their style would be similar to mine. That would have been my argument if I needed one. He then said something about how Bryan's and my answers were also similar on the tests (perhaps he meant quizzes). This really pissed me off because we have never really been anywhere near each other, and right then I knew he was full of bullshit! Bryan is a good programmer and could definitely come up with the same stuff I do. I could only imagine if there were any more smart people in the class. Girish would freak.
I have never been more pissed off before in my life. At the end of our little meeting, Girish said that he would speak with his superiors on the matter of a grade. The realization that I should have taken the paper, and the zero soon set in, because this, even so small, could be a serious problem even to the extreme of being kicked out of college. I was in a very violent mood, and would have killed the bastard if that would have happened. Jeff too. I later figured that I wouldn't kill him because I wanted to leave him in incredible pain for the rest of his life! I was VERY PISSED!!! If my German dialogue would have been today, I'm sure I would have fucked up, just because of the stress and worry.
We went to class today, and stayed the entire two hours. We reviewed sample tests from before, and I took a very active part. To speed things along, I would pop out with answers and solutions to the problems right away, that would have normally taken the class forever to figure out. I was laughing and being very 'friendly.' I also was having fun with Tama. We were writing notes on her paper. I kept writing little sentences in German. She was writing all kinds of cutdowns about Girish. She wrote that she was bored and then wrote, 'I need something fun to do!.' She was writing everything in bubble letters so it took her a while. I was making jokes about what she needs, and then said if she isn't shy, we could go out right now and I'd give her something fun to do. We laughed.
The other day, when we were talking about her having sex with her theater TA for a grade, I told her that she can go ahead and sleep with Girish as well and leave me out of it. We laughed and she said that there's no way in hell, that she definitely has her limits. She then said that she'd sleep with me if I'd take her final. I pondered it for a second, and then asked if that would really be a reward. My usual sarcastic self. I was pissed off later for not saying anything beneficial. This was Monday. When we decided to go back at nine, I had actually already sent her program and mine as well, but I wanted to spend more time with her. I told her that I was thinking about our little deal in the shower, and figured out a foolproof way to take her exam for her. She laughed and was a bit interested in the fact that I was thinking about her in the shower. My idea was for me to take two exams as Girish passes them out, and her take one, and then just take the both of them. It would have worked, if we hadn't of gotten busted now. I'M VERY SERIOUSLY GLAD THAT WE DID, BECAUSE IF WE HAD GOTTEN CAUGHT ON THE FINAL: IMMEDIATE EXPULSION!!!!! I won't do anything like this again, or at least I will be much more careful.
Anyway, on the way to the lab Monday night, I said something about how I wouldn't even have to think twice about taking a chance like that if I got to sleep with her. It wasn't quite like that, much more fluent. She actually thought it was sweet, and I thought it was funny. I complained today that I'm losing out the most on the whole deal, and she said not to worry, it's not over yet! I'd enjoy fucking her! We talked about Basic Instinct after seeing it Sunday night. The sex was a very interesting conversation piece.
After class today, we had to fill out more evaluations on the class, and he was leaving so that we could. Tama and I got up and chased him to the back door. Two other people came to ask him questions as well. I told them to go ahead, as did Girish. Tama was intent on getting credit, but I realized that whatever he says now will be what stands, else we could be in serious shit. I was ready to grab her shoulder and pull her away if she even objected the slightest bit. Girish told us that if he did what his supervisor suggested, we would be in a very bad situation, but he wasn't going to. Right then we were interrupted by this fat bitch and he told her to hurry up and ask what she needed to ask. He then told us again how bad off we'd be, but that he is only going to take twenty points off and give us eighty out of a hundred on the assignment. I immediately thanked him very gratefully as the whole world was removed from my shoulders and I realized the extent of what he had done. I was ready to deck tama if she said anything, but this was too good to believe. We both thanked him again and he left. I filled out an evaluation, rating Girish with straight perfects! I almost could have kissed him! He was my favorite teacher for the moment!
Tama and I were talking later about how I'd bet money that Girish reviewed our latest assignment for similarities, and when he found none, he mad his decision. I'm so glad something told me to make them completely different. We almost danced in each others arms, I was so relieved, because I was scared shitless. She said that she knew that I was and put her arm around my shoulder as we walking down the hall, rubbing my back, telling me that she knew it'd be OK. I had my arm around her as well for a moment. I thought about last night as I got on the elevator, and two of Tama's roommates were in there. They asked me if I got screwed as well in the class, and when I said yes, they told me to make sure that I got the credit no matter what the cost is to Tama, since I did the work. I thought it was funny. But I fully agreed.
Monday night on the way home from class, the night we had been talking about sex, we were walking along the sidewalk back to Beaty. Many of Beaty's windows have Christmas lights in them and it looks pretty. We were commenting about how it doesn't feel like Christmas at all though. I mean, it's warm enough for shorts and a T-shirt. Anyway, it was already past ten and was pretty dark. There were these two girls in the field with four bull terriers. The two big ones came running at us growling and snapping. Tama let out a slight shriek and grabbed on to my shoulder. I stopped and the dogs barked at us but didn't mess with us. We started walking again, and the others were on the sidewalk ahead of us fighting. I put my hands on Tama and slowly glided her off of the sidewalk around the dogs. I believe my right hand was accidentally on her tit, but oh well. She sort of jokingly yelled at me for trying to make her walk where the dogs just took a crap. It was funny.
Well, enough about Tama, how about the greatest love of my life! Melissa! We've been hitting it off very well this week. She mailed me a graduation announcement form all of the way across the street. It looks really nice. I thought it was funny that she mailed it, but I liked it a lot. In the paper, there was a little advertisement for a get together for Eta Sigma Phi, her classical honor society. It said, 'Socializing Greek style is the key to eternal happiness...' Chris found it first and asked me if I had seen Melissa's name in the paper. Today in class I asked her if she is eternally happy yet and we joked around about it. She wore a white and red blouse today that was very revealing in the front. She seemed to be showing off to me and I liked what I saw very very much! We were also talking about going to Busch Gardens again. She's so fun.
As we walked out of class today, I said something in response to her that ended up not sounding to funny. She didn't hear me so she said, 'What?' I just shrugged, said, 'nothing,' and sort of smiled. She made a pouting noise and I laughed and said, 'What?' sort of complaining that she was whining. She actually mocked me and shrugged saying, 'Nothing,' in a really cutesie voice. It was really funny! I like her so much!!! Elaine asked me again today if I wanted to dress up as Santa Claus, because the language department has an outfit. I said that I'd take the hat if she can find it.
I had a lot of fun as class started today. Nicole came early and we actually started talking a lot. I was happy that she and I were actually talking for a change. I was really hyper and was pacing around. Cynthia noticed it, and made fun of me. I was also talking to her before class, and then to Fran‡oise for a while. I then even talked to Nicole some more. I was happy. Stud me! I can't wait until the new semester. I'm going to study hard, and make as many new girlfriends as possible. As soon as Melissa came in, I went straight for her and we talked. Yesterday, she received the proofs from her graduation pictures. She didn't really like the that much. I asked to see them, and she didn't want me to, so I practically raped her until she let me see them. Class had already started, and Elaine was walking around asking questions, but she left us alone as I coaxed Melissa into giving me the pictures, and as I looked at them. There were some pretty good ones, but some were made pretty airheaded like with a big fake smile and her hair all poofed out. She was in the newspaper today with a really good picture of her. I bragged to everyone I that I could. It congratulated her for being an outstanding four year scholar, one of three, and listed her many societies and activities. I was extremely impressed. Go Melissa. I'm really going to miss her.
I actually went to Calculus today, only to find out that class is canceled for today and friday. He did write that he would talk to anybody during class hours in his office. I have never talked to anyone in there before, until today. I asked him when the exam is, and then we started talking and ended up going to Robinson's office to double check the place and time. There was one other person there so we got a private little tutorial. It was neat. It was the first time I've really talked to him. I'd like to get to know my professors much earlier next semester. Anyway, it turns out that my exams are evenly spaced as to make them very easy. I have one a day until Thursday, when the second and last one is computer which will be a breeze. I also found out that the Physics is not cumulative, thank God! Neither is the Calculus! Actually there is a cumulative part, but it is optional, and would take the place of your lowest test grade. That's really cool. Robinson actually remembered that it would be my first test that I'd replace. I was impressed. I found out that he is teaching Calculus III Honors next semester, so now I really want to take it!
I also received a new pen pal today! Her name is Natalie Frank and she lives in Breman, Germany. That's awesome! Bremen is a city in northwest Germany, on the Weser River, southwest of Hamburg. It's twice as big as Tampa by population.
I recieved a letter from my family the other day. Chrissy's part was hilarious. I was cracking up as I read it:
Dear Dan,
We decorated the tree yesterday with out you. But it still looks nice anyway. I was also student of the month yesterday.
Love Cathy
Dear Dan 12-3-92
