LOL, what a great anecdote - it really made me laugh!
> I remember ordering some from Croatia back in October, and first day I took it, that whole "jump-start effect" happened-- it was so rare at the time for my professors to ever see me smile (if ever)-- and yet here I was, smiling, in two classes, that day.
>
> Unfortunately, the problem is I was smiling without paying attention. I smiled, then the professor caught me smiling, and asked in front of the class what I was smiling about.
>
> Well, first class, the teacher goes, "Apparently some of you (meaning me) relate to this saddistic perversion of human sexuality that Lacan's psychoanalysis is discussing."
>
> Next class, the professor asks, "John, why are you smiling?" with a grin in his face, hoping for some intriuging insight I had about the passage a girl just read aloud to the class.
>
> Not knowing how else to say it, I simply try to wing it, being the English major I am.
>
> "I thought that resonnated with me." (ok, so what the hell am I suppose to be referring to, please let it not be embarassing, dear god...)
>
> "Yes, John, that must make you feel comforted, being of the maternalism of the character seeming warm and wholesome to you."
>
> I slouch down in my chair and count down the seconds until class ends.
