@Print:
Sounds interesting. Good luck with that :D
Thank you, I've been thinking about it all day. And I won't rest until I get it done!
…here's something that went down yesterday:
[hide]History class. Now, mind you, the class takes place in an auditorium and there's roughly…..75 students? Less than 100? Point is, it's a spacious area. Now, we're up to WWI, and the professor's talking about German unrestricted warfare....y'know, sinking everything they saw?
Me and my dumb self decides to ask a question. I was curious if inadvertently, by accident, the Germans would sink their own ships. When I say that, I meant that the ship in question didn't show its flag in time or mechanical glitches, or anything else like that.
Problem #1: Professor didn't hear me and I had to repeat the question louder. Cue everyone turning towards me
Problem #2: He didn't perceive the question correctly, thinking I was asking if the Germans…knowingly sunk their own ships. He answered with "uh...no of course they didn't. It was their own".
Now I can feel myself turning red.
I spent the next few minutes trying to explain my actual question (still not speaking loud enough), there still being a misunderstanding.....until someone helped me out and asked the question, loudly.
Pause, then explanation that the Germans were focusing mainly on the British Isles area, and thus didn't have to worry about German cargo ships in the area to sink. Good enough.
…But I felt so humiliated. I wouldn't ask such a question when the answer is obvious. It'd be like asking what country the American Revolution was fought in. Just.....ugggh. I was going to talk to the professor after class, to....make things clear, but I bolted. Probably a wrong move.
It's just that the professor in question is a smart, sophisticated guy with a good vocabulary. Naturally I would be intimidated, only now I hope he doesn't think I'm a fool......
....I swear, history is my thing! In high school, I got a 99 on both the U.S history and world history Regents!
