In revolt against becoming the teacher's pet for real and being expected to answer every question correctly every time in my Communications class:
This morning, when I got to class, the girl continuing to present her section from where she left off on Monday got up to start. She started where she left off, which was in the middle of a subsection. So the teacher suggested that instead we have a teensy mini-review of WHAT in the world we're talking about before just jumping right into the middle of a subsection.
So we were talkin about Attribution.
And so I just spoke right out, without turning the page back to refresh my memory, and said "It's when you attribute characteristics to somebody because they fit a certain schema."
Had I said Motivations instead of characteristics, I'd've been pretty right. Moreso if I'd've also said motivations due to a few certain qualities they had. But nope, I said characteristics. And so she looked at me questioningly, looked at the OTHER person always expected to answer, and said "is she right?" One of the other girls that doesn't speak much said the right definition and we went on our merry way.
Haha, take that, all ye who expect me to live up to my title: Official Expert on Everything!
