re: LSU Finals Week Stories

This is not a great story, but it's kind of cool, I suppose. This is from waaaaaay back. 1980's.

I HATED doing the spoken-language part of my French final exams. The teacher usually read from a script and you had to answer every question perfectly or get dinged on points.

So I talked to a French major outside in the hallway before I was called in, and she was kind of cute (no pics). We mocked the verbal test and I asked her out afterward. She said yes, so... good for me, I felt great when I got called in.

I go into the room... and whoaaaaaa.... this is not my French teacher. They called in some extra faculty or something to do this, and this is one of the best-looking women I've ever seen (no pics). Waaaay better looking than that bitch I just asked out in the hallway.

I would love for this story to turn into Penthouse Forum, but sadly, it doesn't... but I had a lot of trouble concentrating. So I mention to her that I just got through asking a girl out in the hallway, and we just have a conversation in French about that. No stupid script. And I actually got the French right, because I enjoyed the conversation.

This marked the one and only time I used actual French in a conversation. A good memory of Finals week.
