reporter: Hi Sarah, I'm teaching my class again next semester, can you email the newspaper about it?
me: Sure. PS Sorry I was so horrible in your class last semester. I guess I'm not cut out for college.
reporter: No you weren't horrible. I could see you knew the whole inverted pyramid thing from the first class, so it makes sense why you didn't want to waste your Thursday nights.
Sarah's internal monologue: He's nice. I like journalism. College is a waste of [my parents'] money.
