Message: [QUOTE="BigErnMcCracken, post: 4277388, member: 70"] I never had the experience of anyone holding my hand in a small class - I did have the feeling of “the potential for embarrassment if I’m not prepared is off the charts.” When I was a freshman I ended up in an upper level American literature seminar that I was not adequately prepared for and I was completely out of my league. The rest of the students were these sophisticated hipsters that seemed like they were 40. So one day toward the end of a 90 minute seminar I accidentally knocked over the cup I had been filling up with dip spit over the course of the class. I watched in horror as a veritable lake of dip spit spread across the small round table around which probably 8 of us were seated. They all looked at me like I was an alien. I didn’t know what to do so I took the sweatshirt in my book bag and used it like a sponge to sweep the spit off the table. In retrospect a hilarious moment but at the time one of the most embarrassing moments of my life. [/QUOTE]
