2+2 =

Yesterday was placement exam day at school. I had to take a battery of exams to determine the classes I will need to start at the University. Remedial classes that is. The first thing the advisor asked was if I did any writing in my day to day life, write reports for work or have a blog where she could review my writing.

“No. No I do not have a blog.”

I don’t know why I said this so quickly with terror in my voice. Maybe I got scared that a muggle was going to read my blog. An outsider. Maybe I got all junkyard dog because the thought of an English professor reading my dissertation on anal bleaching was….. odd.

So, I sat in the class with twenty year olds and pulled every bit of knowledge on homonyms and homographs I could remember. The math portion was easy; I made a robot out of the little circles where you should put answers. I wouldn’t have a clue so I entertained myself. The killer robot had laser vision that blasted the algebra off the page. Rawr!

Even with the creative math answers I scored exceedingly high on the test. Take that twenty somethings! I guess I’m not s dumb as I thinkz I is.

  2. Congrats!
    In any case you shouldn't reveal the existence of your blog to everybody. Only selected few should know about it...

  3. Me fail English? That's unpossible.


    I'm a smart man, but I still hate tests.

  4. Your dissertation on anal bleaching was eloquent and evocative. It moved me in a way I never thought possible. The knowledge you imparted allowed me to steer clear of shady, back-alley bleachers and seek a certified professional. Not only is my bung brighter, you very well may have saved my life.

    Okay, I didn't read that one. I think I understand your hesitation, and I'm no English professor. But I know I can't read your blog without being impressed by your wit and ability to tell a story, and I'm positive I'm not alone. Unless you're applying to BYU, I'd think sharing your talent could only help. :-)
