Finally

I'm not usually the quiet one in class. I love to engage in a good debate, to further discourse, answer questions, etc. After 2 weeks here I definitely hadn't been my usual self. I'd only spoken when socraticized by my LRW and Contracts profs and not otherwise. Over the long weekend I decided that is was time to start talking. Enough time had passed to take the temperature of the room and the profs so I figured I might as well jump in. Yesterday I finally got around to it, and it wasn't so bad. I answered some questions well and didn't fail too miserably once the profs fired out questions in response to my answers. I also learned one valuable lesson. In contracts I need to be stoic if I don't want to be called on. My prof, Hyde, asked a question of the class and no one wanted to raise there hand for a few seconds. I could literally feel the light go on above my head when the answer hit me, and Hyde saw it immediately and called on me without my volunteering. I must have done one of those "ah HA!" faces. Hyde was looking in my general direction and the SECOND I figured out the answer he called on me.
