Turning out Quite as Expected

I had been waiting in keen anticipation for Elementary 2 to commence and amidst looking through my verb sheets and character charts, came up with several things which I was expecting would occur during the duration of this class.

1. We would be facing off with a much more well-informed and studious bunch.

That was definitely the case. In fact, I should not even have guessed that this would happen. It was practically given by the fact that here we are sitting amongst individuals who are like-minded enough to part with another $200 for an external course which requires more than just 3 hours of your time a week, on top of school/work etc. Point to note: This scenario could only get more intense as the levels progress.

2. ドラマ 2 would unfold.

A sequel to ドラマ 2, with the same protagonist headlining each scene. But what surprised me was the fact that the female lead was cast so soon, having bewitched the protagonist with her curled brown locks and look-alike features. Would she have a look-alike personality to boot? The ドラマ is unfolding bit by bit.

3. (OK, this one I did not anticipate to encounter in class itself) Someone doesn't want to talk to me anymore

Not that we flocked together to begin with, but a certain individual who has been heralded as an elite, pruned and trimmed and fed lovingly by the government, through us mere mortals' coffers, to groom more of his kind, has given me a distinctly colder shoulder.

And what's the reason for his increasingly disenchanted conversation (or rather, snippets of thought exchange)? Simply because I deal with a discipline that does not involve something that he would die without. This 'something' has a rather fat bottom and streamlined top and is caressed every so often by his scholarly hands. It would be an inconceivable, horrifying thought that someone like me does not hold it close to my eye to read the tattoos that curve around its physique or place it in a heated environemtn and wait for its juices within to boil over. Blasphemy! How could I not love a beaker the way he does! So yes, even the common interest in 日本語 and goodness, a common profession (for now at least), cannot make up for the lack of beaker love, and that explains the unwillingness to even meet his brilliant eyes with mine, even for a second!

The only reason I did not anticipate this to encounter in class itself was simply because I was not expecting to meet this pruned elite in this class, thinking that his bookworm driven instincts would have propelled him to sign up for an earlier class which would all the more quickly enhance his almighty brain.

Oh how I love this class, now, to sort out the administrative matters for the exam.
