it’s been five minutes and i still can’t stop laughing

November 18, 2009

Okay, so I’m looking over my Chinese 2nd Midterm test and noticed that my professor wrote “sorry” above one of my short (60-80 characters) answers. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was for the question “What do you look for in an ideal boyfriend/girlfriend” and I had written “我以前的男朋友對我不好,要是我新的男朋友是一個好人,最理想不濄了“(translation: my ex-boyfriend didn’t treat me very well, if my new/next boyfriend is a good guy, that would be most ideal. “最…不濄了” is kind of tricky to translate, it kinda means “none would surpass…” indicating the most favorable result).

I am so so amused.

I’m also sort of horrified and hope that she knows that I sometimes make things on written tests and on my oral presentations. (Because, really, I need to use very specific grammar structures and vocabulary.)

I’m afraid she may have the most appalling opinion of me. Um.

Awkward.
