Amazing

I had an amazing moment this afternoon I need to share.

Ok, So i'm in a 300 level E-Commerse Class. There is this one girl, Laura, who is manly, obnoxious, not all that bright, and of course in my group. We go through the whole semester with me and the other guy having to re-do all her group work so we can get decent grades (she was too busy with powder-puff football and seeing friends). She is also totally inanimate and reads from the computer screen directly for presentations.

Side Note: this professor, who works at the naval supply base, asks for a resume during the course of the class. She wants to get me an interview.

On last wednesday we handed in our final projects - a paper (20 pages) outlining a business we could start and including all sorts of stuff we learned in the class. Last monday, before its due, she is boasting about how she has the paper done (early) and can't wait to present Wednesday (the first of two days we were presenting on her paper). She presents wednesday, does terribly. Her idea is terrible. Her presentation is terrible. Terrible. She is also angry about hearing that some kids in the class got offered jobs.

I present today (pretty good If I do say), and then we all get our papers back. 99/100. One point off for missing a citation. I'm feeling pretty good about myself. Also - My professor has just told me that she's hiring.

*OK, Back to the important part*

I'm leaving lottie, and I run into this girl. She asks, very upset, what I got on the paper. I confidently say "a ninty-nine". Bam. She completely asked for it. In her face. She pales, huffs, and walks off telling me that she's going to have to have a talk with the professor about her grade.

It was awesome. I would have done the paper just for that conversation alone.
