Hmmm... 7 things
1. It really upsets me every semester when some student complains about a grade, whether or not I think the complaint has merit. (Grading just sucks, and not just for students!)
2. I still feel guilty about the time in 1st grade when we were singing and the guy next to me was so off-key that I told him to shut up.
3. In later grades I absolutely could not sing (as part of a group of classmates) in school performances. I'd try to get out of it any way I could, actually threw up once and, if prodded on stage, would at most silently move my lips.
4. I married my only girlfriend.
5. I hate my voice, especially when I think it sounds like my father's.
6. I have very loose joints. The one time I fractured a major bone it was because my knee popped out of joint as a threw a ball and my arm slammed into the ground. My ankles often give way for no good reason and I once had a shoulder separation from quickly lifting my elbow.
7. I hate speaking foreign languages, partly for fear of saying the wrong thing but often because I'd rather not say anything at all rather than leave out some nuance I can only express in English.
