Moments

Disclaimer: This is not meant to offend, I just found it funny.

I was visiting York University and attended a class with my friend. The whole time I was visiting, I felt pretty self-conscious because I felt like I didn't belong and someone would reveal me to be a pseudo York student if I did anything that made me stand out.

The whole class was pretty boring. And then the professor asked, "Does anyone know what myopia is?"

He was greeted by blank stares. I knew what it was, and I was dying to say it, but I didn't want to draw attention to myself incase he went on with further questioning like "Which program are you in?"

The professor tried to get his answer again, "Come on, a classroom full of 200 students, and no one knows what myopia is? Come on, York!"

A long silence. And then I couldn't take it any longer. I raised my hand and said "It's vision problems!"

He replied, "You are correct! Finally someone who knew!"

Under by breath, I said, "I don't go to York."
