Don't you have better things to do than annoy me?

Yeah, you might’ve mentioned. Just think of it as the circle of life or something.

[thehistorianpeterhale]

I still have no idea what you want to take a military history class for, but I'll humour you. I didn't say you wouldn't, but most of the kids don't. By the way, have I ever told you how annoying you are?

Who says I won’t care?

[thehistorianpeterhale]

You're very optimistic. They always are at first because the class is small and very obscure. They might even do well during the semester but if they don't care then the final kills them. Like I said, favourite time of the year.

After I finish your class, maybe I’ll do a little dance around your desk while Derek films it — we could put it on YouTube so you’ll be known as the guy who lets steam out of his ears.

[thehistorianpeterhale]

Oh joy. 

And group discussions are my favorite.

[thehistorianpeterhale]

I can already tell this will be one adventure I am not ready for. You're one of those students who asks questions about everything, aren't you? I hate those students.

You’re a history professor, right? And I might be majoring in history, so there you go. Anyway, you’ve never had me as a student. Trust me, we’re gonna have so much fun, just you wait.

[thehistorianpeterhale]

What purpose would taking my class serve for you? And I doubt you could ace it, pass it yes, but not ace it.

Next year I’m going to take your class, ace your final, and laugh in your face.

[thehistorianpeterhale]

Sometimes. Why?

Do you teach summer classes?

[thehistorianpeterhale]

Of course not. I'm only fair so that I can watch them cry as they realise they screwed up their GPA because of my class. It truly is a wonderful time of year.

Uh, duh. Since when do you care about ethics? Or is that only in your grading?

[thehistorianpeterhale]

Would you rather I made it easy so the ones who took the class for an easy A, which it's not, could easily get a grade they did not deserve? 

I stand by what I said.

[thehistorianpeterhale]

It's a coffee mug actually.

You seem like the kinda teacher to put a label on your water bottle that says “Student’s Tears” or something. I feel like you’ve actually done that.

[thehistorianpeterhale]

Why I'm just doing my job. If the final is too hard for them, then they shouldn't have taken my class in the first place.

Dude, you suck.

[thehistorianpeterhale]

I love finals week. Crushing the hopes of students is what keeps me going.

[thehistorianpeterhale]

Peter: Shh. Do you hear that? That’s the sound of forgiveness.

Derek: That’s the sound of people drowning, Peter.

[thehistorianpeterhale]

Do you want to talk about it or something? Or a hug?

I wasn’t expecting to be gone as long as I was. But I had no idea when I’d be able to come back so it wasn’t like I could give you a definite date anyway. I…yeah. Yeah, I’m okay.

[thehistorianpeterhale]

Well, at least you're alive. Thank you for telling me you'd be gone so long. I really appreciate it. But also, are you okay?

Oh wow. I was gone longer than I anticipated. Now I just need to come up with an excuse for all the school I missed.

[thehistorianpeterhale]

Maybe every little piece in your game didn’t move just as predicted, but they still moved perfectly into place.

[thehistorianpeterhale]

can’t change the way I am sexy-naughty-bitchy me.
