How to impress a teacher - top 10 ways

Since this was mentioned in the comments to the earlier post, I thought this one could be a long-drawn out list of top 10 ways to impress a teacher in a Law School.

1. Be a hot person of the other gender.
2. If not 1, have a hot best friend to come with you.
3. Ask questions AFTER class (to be distinguished from asking questions during class, which often annoys the teacher)
4. Admire their baby (this has surprising effectiveness)
5. Wear low cut tops. (Works only for women)
6. Wear very low cut tops. (DEFINITELY works only for women)
7. Smile seductively.
8. Cry, but selectively.
9. Don't hesitate to beg.
10. Carry a chocolate.

It's surprising how often this works for other people. I haven't managed to use this to my own ends yet, which probably explains my floundering CGPA. But you have been warned! Time to get those skimpy tops out of the cupboard.

cheer up, messer upper.

it's time to inject a bit of life back into this blog.

so i'll keep this post short and sweet. think of it as an experimental venture back into the world of how-to-do-it-wrong, me dipping my toe in the water.

this is something a little different. normally we use our personal experiences to teach lessons about what not to do. it goes a bit like this: we mess up, we write about it, you read it, you find a kindred soul, relate, and hopefully learn a few things in the process. commenting is also really nice. really nice.

today, however, let's lift our collective spirits.
cheer up, messer upper.

because the lesson to be learned from the following links is simple, really. it goes a bit like this:

in all those countless years of schooling,
the memorizing, the recitation, the tests,
the lectures, the pop quizzes,
be glad you've never gone this wrong.

um, and if you have, then. well, i really don't know what to do about that.

so, without further ado:
