lol I didn't like her only because I did bad in Chem 20 haha. But looking bad, she wasn't really a bad teacher; it was just me who should've done better and not talk in class all the time. It's not like I didn't understand chemistry - I did so well in Univ. chemistry.

As the other poster mentioned, there seems absolutely no middle ground with GATE people.

That describes me between the ages of 20 and 30. 4 years later and I'm kind of a big deal now.

Well either you own eBay or you auction yourself off for cheap thrills . . . I guess it really is one or the other for GATE alumni!

You just think you're so smart with your fancy spelling and your fancy grammar. You're not better than me.

Something along the same lines happened a few years ago to me. I was getting a pair of skates in the buy and sell. We exchanged a few PMs and they were to drop them at my office. With no warning (to me) the guy who dropped them off was a classmate of mine throughout GATE! Pretty hilarious...although without the same romanticism as the overthrow of Tunis.

If he was as good of an English teacher as you state, you would know there is no such thing as 'so unique'. There are no degrees of uniqueness. It's either unique or it is not.
The word you are looking for is likely either different or quirky.
Q: How do you catch a unique rabbit?
A: Unique up on it.

I'm not sure I even remember who was in that class. G. Poon. D. Quackenbush. That's about all I got for guesses.
