Okay, so, today was Present on a Certain Policy Position of One or More Presidential Candidates Day in my Energy and the Environment class. And there were people doing all kinds of stuff, not just things relating to energy and the environment, but some of them were doing stuff relating to energy and the environment, and it was like a horrible nightmare.
SOME KID who was presenting on renewable energy research: Blah blah blah nucular energy blah blah blah.
ME: **twitches**
SOME OTHER KID who was presenting on environmental issues: Blah blah blah nucular energy blah blah nucular waste.
ME: **jerks** augh.
YET A THIRD KID who was just asking a question: Blah blah nucular blah?
ME: **spasms** AUGH.
MY POOR PROFESSOR: ... Are you okay?
I was actually thinking about raising my hand and asking everybody to please try to say "nuclear" correctly, partly because it literally makes me twitch involuntarily and partly because I was going to snap and kill them all if they didn't. Fortunately, I managed to rein myself in.
Not enough to keep myself from spending far too much of my Intercultural Communication exam time scratching out typos and rewriting spelling mistakes and correcting the punctuation on the questions - I swear to God, if one more professor puts a colon where there should be a question mark, I'm going to just have a brain hemorrhage and die all over my test paper - but it's a step. ^^
