Today in language class, we did a presentation to describe our sci-fi 'invention'. Melody and I despise language classes as a rule, and generally any class that counts participation as part of the grade.
However, this particular language instructor is pretty cool- she prepares interesting material for us to mull over and discuss and so every lesson is interesting. For once, I have actually picked up some presentation skills (gasp!), and I have immense respect for her.
As Mel and I were leaving the classroom, the instructor expressed that she was surprised that the pair of us can actually talk. Oh woman, you should see how we are in other classes, where we're not even attempting to speak out. She was like, 'Why are you guys usually so silent?!' Well, yes, we do speak- but to quote Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice (film, 2005)-
'Only when forced!'
