[Huff, puff.]

Captain Barbossa - you are a harsh man.

That is good news.

[adamantined]

I don't really know him that much, but he's nice. He's really teacherly.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Teacherly?

[adamantined]

Well he's a teacher. So he, you know, sounds like a teacher.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I had always considered my professor to sound more like a friend, but I had only one.

[adamantined]

Only one? I had like a million.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Only one.

[A laugh.] Did you really have a million?

[adamantined]

Well not really a million. We always have new teachers - for the most part - when we move up a grade.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Ah, in school?

[adamantined]

Yeah, school. Grade school, middle school, high school.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I believe for me the term you would use is privately tutored.

[adamantined]

That kind of sounds like it sucks.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

It was not so awful. I had a very fair and educated tutor.

[adamantined]

But you could never cut class. He'd definitely know.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Well you do have a point, but I was a prince and my castle very grand.

[adamantined]

So you ran away and hid.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I did not run and hide, I lost track of the time.

[adamantined]

You're just omitting the truth, now.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

You learn such things even outside of a formal school.

[adamantined]

I still say real world experiences are better than school. When am I ever gonna need to know how to do linear algebra?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

If you intend to be an engineer, certainly.

[adamantined]

Well I hadn't planned on that.
