My Writing Has Finally Gotten Out of Hand...

So says my professora de espanol. I swung by her office for the 3rd time in the last 24 hours to pick up my 75 word Spanish composition. Our assignment was to write a 75 word composition about ourselves. She told us that we would be more likely to get a good grade if we spiced it up with a little humor. As some of you may know, I have a knack for pushing the envelope too far sometimes when given the chance to do so, but I usually keep it from being blatantly out of place. At the end of the comp, I decided to throw in a short passage. It read "me gusta chi chis grande" (which translates into "I like big boobs"). Now, I didn't think of this to be vulgar or inappropriate in a non-formal piece (especially since my conservative, mother of 2 high school Spanish teacher that attends my church made us learn "chi chis" for our first test), especially to a woman who is only 3 years older than I. However, 24 hours after she said she would be done grading my first draft, I got it back only to see this at the end: "Even if this were a correct sentence, it is not appropriate content for a class. I asked for clever, not childish humor. If you have any questions about this, see me in my office. 60/100" I realize that I probably would have been better off without that passage, she shouldn't have been such a bitch about it. Childish? This was the woman who spent the first 15 minutes of class last Friday quoting Chappelle's Show. I guess raping me of my tuition isn't childish. For chrissake, I go to the largest public university in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, not a little Christian school. Did she overreact, or do I have some serious growing up to do???
