EEPS.

TUITION YESTERDAY WAS UBER EMBARRASING.
Nick was doing this homework thing for Chinese:

NICK: If the north pole is '北极' in Chinese, what's polar bear?
(Polar bears live in the North Pole)
NATHAN: 北极熊.
NICK: OK, then if south pole is '南极', what's penguin?
(Penguins live in the South Pole)
ME (trying to be helpful): 南极鸟?

And basically, everyone just sat there and burst out laughing.
Even that stupid new St. Marg's girl who seems to like ol' Nicky too.
At least HE didn't laugh.
Just smiled.


But it was still way embarrassing.

(Only when I got home and opened my Chinese dictionary did I realise penguin, in Chinese, was ' 企鹅'.
GOD. I AM SUCH A LOSER.)
