amusingly awkward statement by English professor

My last post probably sounds a bit...harried. As to the state of that particular situation, I'm still slightly confused. I'm doing okay, though. He's on vacation with his family this week and will be gone until Sunday, I think. That sort of rhymed, ha ha. I miss him...ever so slightly *laughs*. I'm just fine without him--it's not like my world has come crashing down because he's gone for a week. However, I look forward to seeing him when he gets back...hopefully he won't forget I exist :)

So, I shall explain the meaning of the title of this post.

As you know, I am in Masterpieces of English Literature this term. My professor is a visiting professor from the University of California at Santa Barbara. We are reading Twelfth Night by Shakespeare right now, and we were reading it aloud today. At one point, he was having difficulty in getting volunteers and he started talking about how if he were in our spot, he wouldn't raise his hand either. So then he said something to the lines of: "So, let's come out of our closets now..." He stopped himself and he said: "Whoa! I didn't mean it that way! I'm married and have three kids! I'm from California!" It was amusingly awkward. He is a member of the Church--he joined when he was in his mid-twenties. I'm sure he meant that we should get out of our shells.

I guess you had to have been there.

My old roommate Alyce got her mission call yesterday! She's going to the Knoxville Tennessee Mission and will report on September 3. I'm excited for her!
