Thanks, Sane, for ur help with the sentence. May I consult you on further matters of phraseology during the course of this, my most recent attempt at translating a Swedish children's book to English? Would be most grateful.

I think I won't start on mine till another week or so. Perhaps I should think of a subject to have approved though. Good luck to everyone still writing and congrats to Rinkë for finishing and to Sane for getting an A!!

And yeah, there was a teacher I liked a lot who taught one of the lower level math courses and calculus, so he was SUCH a good teacher that I, (never been particularly fond of math, more into well, anything else) wanted to go take another class with him. And I was immensely sorry the next semester with a *cough* er, slightly less talented teacher. |

Oh I don't know.
Some teachers I find to be particularly interesting. And some teachers are really interesting when they aren't teaching a class. I do really well when I have an inspiring teacher... and it takes me more effort when I don't. But I don't have anything against teachers. That comes to mind. |
