Yesterday in one of my humanities class my professor was reading through the roll. At BYU, each student's picture from their student ID is printed on the roll to help them identify the students.
He got to my name and read it. I raised my hand and smiled. He then looked at my picture, jerked his head up back towards me and looked shocked. It was slightly uncomfortable.
And then, with the entire class listening, he said, "You've matured."
He really said that.
I know sometimes I look like I'm still in high school.
I know my student ID picture wasn't taken on my most attractive day.
But seriously?!
The floor could have eaten me up and I would not have minded.
Of course, the entire class burst out laughing. I tried to defend myself, saying that perhaps it was because my hair is darker, but it was too late. I am forever doomed for the rest of the semester. I think I can forgive my professor, but I'm not sure yet. It may take some time.
Or I could just wear a disguise to class from now on.

well, HAVE you matured? Can I request that be your next blog entry.
okay, you need to take this as a compliment. your dark hair totally makes you this sophisticated beauty.
Really what he was trying to say is, "wow. you're hot!" (unless he's like old...then that's just creepy...)
I love this story...classic (but sorry you were embarrassed...i really think it was a compliment.
I agree on the compliment thing, though I can understand how that would be awkward and embarrasing.
