Final Exam Take Two

[fightingofthespirit]

Ahh.

Right. Completely forgot about this in all the excitement. Can't really blame a fellow, you know. . . . Have classes ended yet? No? Well, then, I'll be in first thing tomorrow. You haven't all been coming and waiting for me to show up everyday, have you?

Anyway, your final exam projects were due . . . about three weeks ago, I believe.  No more extensions for anyone else who forgot; I think you've all had plenty of time. Since I haven't seen any cookie sheets placed conveniently outside my doorway, I assume none of you went in for the obvious approach.

On a separate note, has Professor Itoshiki taken ill lately?

Okay. Okay. I'll get them ready for tomorrow.

Very good. Remember: chocolate is appreciated.

Oh, I'd meant to ask you earlier -- Are you signed up for summer school, Tsuna?

[no-good-tsuna.livejournal.com]

Not yet. But I'll probably have to for one or two classes.

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I'm not particular keen on teaching classes over the summer, but I've got to if even one student signs up, you know.

[no-good-tsuna.livejournal.com]

I could just try harder next year, if you want. I don't really want to go either, and it's just math and English that I ended up doing really bad in. Unless I somehow fail your class.

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Math and English? How can you do badly in English when you write such perfectly grammatical sentences?

It's fine, I'm sure you'll pass my class. But what is it you have trouble with in those subjects?

[no-good-tsuna.livejournal.com]

I've always sucked in math. And in English I sort of... read the wrong books.

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Read the wrong books? . . . Like One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish instead of War and Peace?

[no-good-tsuna.livejournal.com]

Not those two books, but that's basically what happened, yes. So I couldn't answer any of the questions on the exam.

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Hmm. And one failed exam means a failed class entirely?

[no-good-tsuna.livejournal.com]

I'm not very good at getting assignments in on time, either, since I left all my reading to the last minute... But it was the exam mainly. I don't know if I'll fail, but it'll be close.

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Well, so long as you understand what you do wrong. Even if you do fail, take a few weeks off before coming back. For your girlfriend, you know.

[no-good-tsuna.livejournal.com]

Of course. I do think we need to spend more time together.

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

That's right. Love makes the world go round. Of course, sometimes you end up alone and forgotten in your profession because nobody seems to have any sense whatsoever of the importance of the pursuit of knowledge even if you have spent all your life working doesn't mean that --

Err. Never mind.

[no-good-tsuna.livejournal.com]

... I'm sure someone appreciates what you do, professor.

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Of course. My beloved pupils. Isn't that right?

[no-good-tsuna.livejournal.com]

W-Well, of course it's interesting. But I don't think I have the proper understanding to fully admire what you do!

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Is that a plea for additional lessons?

[no-good-tsuna.livejournal.com]

You'd never get your work done if you were trying to teach me such advanced stuff.

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

I suppose you're right. Let's settle for passing English first.
