Honestly scared
Okay, so.. we just got a... fairly big paper back in my honor's American Politics class, and, as expected, the professor is a real hardliner. I got a B- on the paper, I am annoyed, but it is something I can recover from and I now know what I need to do for the next paper (mostly ask some questions and find out what I need to do ^_^), not a problem.
However, since the papers were handed out at the end of class I sat and read the fairly extensive notes he had written on my paper while most everone left. Everyone except one other classmate who, for absolute lack of a better term, completly tweaked over his paper. And I mean tweaked, we've all gotten mad about a paper or a test before, but he was throwing his book, shaking, SHAKING (literally) with rage, and pounding on the table. A complete failure of the emotional failsafes and he remained this way for 30 minutes (I having long since retreated to the next door study lounge where I could dully hear the occaisional pounding). Before SLAMMING the door to the room as he left, spotting me and DEMANDING to know where his office is (I think he's gone home for the day, so I shouldn't worry to much, whee!). His grade? C.
