Kick Me When I'm High.

Me: um, ma’am? I wanted to talk to you about leaves for the AIESEC conference. See there is…
Ma’am: No leaves.
Me: oh. Um.

Now I am awkwardly standing in the middle of her room, wondering if I should argue or just leave. If I leave, i get no leaves. If I don’t, I will piss her off. And shes not nice to people who piss her off. See, the thing about this woman is that she can easily make you want to have the ground swallow you whole with the way she insults you in public. And she will insult you in public. I just do not want to give her a reason to. Dont get me wrong, I think shes pretty cool. I just dont want to look like an idiot infront of her.

But I am pretty sure I do.

Me: but.. um.. see, woh, er.. the conference.. and absences.. and..

She looks up from her desk. Oh no.

Ma’am: There are no leaves. Leave now.

Me: yes ma’am.

Ma’am: wait.. She looks at me for a second. You had a good paper.

Me: huh? what? What paper?

I have like NO idea what she is talking about. It cannot be my last exam paper because that was a product of a very long sleeples and highly eventful night. That paper made no sense to me whatsoever. So if my answers made any sense to her, then.. um, bravo?

Ma’am: Hourly wala paper. Aur kaunsa paper. Look. There. Kya answers likhay hain.

She points to a stack of papers. I think she wants me to take mine out. This doesn’t sound good at all.

Me: er.. ma’am.. are you being.. sarcastic?

I am nervous. She rolls her eyes.

Ma’am: no, im serious. I think you are on the path to enlightenment.

She makes a dramatic hand gesture. At this point I am almost sure she is making fun of me. I don’t know if I should laugh or be ashamed of myself. She then goes on to explain why she actually did like my answers.

Ma'am: Very good. I think your last answer was very good.

Dammmmnnn. She actually did think my answers were good. She made a smiley face on my paper and all. This is so cool! I cant stop grinning.

Me: Really? So… I passed?

She smiles at me

Ma'am: Haha, Dont be silly. Ofcourse not.
