Saving Face

For those of you who don't know, the Band Man is my advisor this year. More of a figurehead title than anything, but he does get to sign my course registration forms. Today, I needed to see him about some forms and ended up interrupting his pre-major advising session with his little flock of freshmen. I thought it'd only take a quick second and asked him to sign my add/drop form. After finding out that I wanted to sign on for a full five-course load, however, he waivered a bit.

Moi: It's ok. I’ve done it before. I promise I can handle it. I even took five courses while taking your class two semesters ago.

Band Man: So that’s why you sucked so bad.

Come on, Band Man, in front of the freshmen?
