Today my piano teacher unexpectedly made my partner and I perform the duet we were assigned so that it could graded, even though we weren't scheduled to perform until next week. As a result, that graded performance was our first time EVER playing the piece together. Afterwards, the whole class and prof commented that we sounded very well-prepared. That's right, we fucking NAILED the piece without any preparation. I feel like a god.

1st year of college complete, one A and one B confirmed so far. Waiting on one grade, and just did my last final today, so won't get that one back for several days.
Just got an email from my argumentation professor that we can all have notes for the test on a one side of a single piece of paper.
We have a plotter and a tabloid (11x17) printer at work. BOOYAH
He is NOT going to let you use that.
By the by, my teacher is young (probably in her early 30s) and very attractive. She looks a lot like Cameron from "HOUSE". Anyway, here's what happened:
I arrived at class and the professor asked to see our notes pages. She went around the room and eventually got to mine, printed on the 11x17 paper. Professor: *cocked eyebrow* Victor, what is this? Me: My notes. She holds it up. Professor: This is more than one page. Me: No it isn't. This is one page of tabloid sized paper. Professor: I didn't say you could use tabloid sized paper. Me: You didn't say we couldn't. You said *pulling a copy of the email I had printed out, anticipating this* "I have decided to let you all have a one-page, one-sided reference sheet for the exam. This can be typed or hand-written, and must be turned in with your exam." This is one page of tabloid paper and, as you can see, it is printed on only one side. Since I've met the criteria you specified in your email for the reference sheet, I believe I'm within my right to use this. She looked at me sideways for a minute, then cracked a smile. Professor: Well, you made a claim and supported it with good evidence. Your argument is sound; Here you go. Me: Thank you. Professor: Now, what would you have done if I had said 'no'? I reached into my backpack and pulled out the same notes printed on a long strip of paper twisted into a mobius loop. One of my friends and one other guy started cracking up. She and the rest of the class just looked at me. Me: It's a mobius loop. It has only one side. She sighed: You are a piece of work. My friend: He's technically correct. Me: The best kind of correct.
The professor then told us to begin our exams.
She is one of the coolest professors I've ever had. Any other professor would have taken that as a complete affront to their authority.
One of my professors told a story about a kid who did this. Since the student followed the rules, he didn't talk his notes. He did take the magnifying glass as that wasn't an allowed testing material. And sonic that is awesome.
