back in school i used to help or hinder my teachers based purely on their first impression when they did the first registration call.
they'd get to about the middle of the list and just pause. and i knew. i knew it was me.
if good vibes - i'd raise my hand and put them out of their misery
if bad vibes - nothing about my expression would betray my position even in the slightest. you would think i was under the impression that i have the most straighforward, easily pronouncable name in existence. and then i would make them guess. guess until they got somewhere close enough for me to go "oh, i think thats me?"
good times
