Me, being an English major, my professor called on me to tell the class what a gerund is. Gerund.
A gerund is a noun made from a verb by adding an -ing to it. Like: "Shopping is fun."
I completely blank. If you have been following me, you'd know that I graduated from school nearly 9 months ago, and I haven't been in this kind of atmosphere in ages it felt like yesterday.
Well, I completely blank and respond with a response I should have not said but said anyways, "I don't know," and then I wanted to shit myself then and there in class or a cloak of invisibility would have sufficed.
I felt like Elle Woods, lost and clueless and more lost than anything. Just being there to be there not knowing a thing. But I think I am a little smarter than Elle.
I knew what a gerund is, I just blanked from being on the spot like that. Who hasn't blanked like that is my real question?
All in all, it was embarrassing. I hate my life. Let's see if I go back to class....
