shakespeare.

the first day of my literature class, at least the first one that i attended, my professor explained to us that we were going to have to recite a poem. after dreading the day these were due for the past month or two, it finally came. today was the day. there were four choices. of those, i picked shakespeare, and memorized it last night. today, i was thinking, wouldn't it suck to go first. because then that person would be stuck sitting in the class, listening to the 25 other people try to get as many points as they could... so i was reciting this in my head, the whole morning. finally got to class. sat down. and my professor was lecturing us for about 20 minutes (which is just the perfect amount of time for one to stress out in anticipation of future embarrassment) then he slowly walked to the back of the room, "and the first person is.... Carly" really? gah! and BOOOM! I started freaking out. and i walked up there, and it took me a while to remember my first word. and then it took me a while to remember my second line. and then it the third, and fourth... i stumbled through the whole thing. i didn't mess up, i was just slow. so i ended up getting full credit. but it was a rough ride. and then... right when i sat down, the whole sonnet went right through my head no problem. no errors. face palm. yarg. and i had to listen to everyone else. say their poem. :/ sigh. oh well. it's over, i'm done. and now...... yay nap.
