ignominy

The most entertaining thing happened last night!

I was so lucky to run into one of my students while walking to a bar downtown. Let me set the stage for you:

This student is prone to acts of truancy, histrionics, lying, and fucktardery in general. She screamed and cried at me in class the other day because of something I had no way of knowing. Instead of talking to me, she just started screeching in front of the whole class. Now, mind you, I teach college, not kindergarten.

So... it's 45 degrees outside and I see her in a group of her girlfriends about a block and a half up the street and we're walking toward each other. She is wearing a tank top and a skirt up to her ass with flip flops. (we live near the bay, but summer's over, sweetheart). She hasn't recognized me yet. A car passes, and I have no idea if they knew the people within or not, but she begins screaming and pointing to herself and friends, "LESBIANS! LESBIANS!" Which I thought was pretty funny, you know, in a cruel I'll-tease-you-forever kind of way.

When she finally makes eye contact with me, i just smiled and sad "Hello Jenna!" She smiled back, but it was a priceless -oh shit- smile. After the group passed me, they were very quiet for a moment, then I heard "OH MAH GAWD! HAHA OHHH SHEEIT!"

I'm sure she'll miss class next week. She's probably got pneumonia from wandering around in her skivvies all night.
