Mancini’s part: 4:26 - 4:33
Gahh! It’s like an episode of ‘Miranda’, but with a bunch of cameos by European sports personalities that I’ve never heard of before! And it’s beautiful, because I’m suffering from Miranda-withdrawal.

And I can’t tell what their saying, because they’re all speaking Korean. I mean, I know they all know English, so I could ask them to stop if I wanted to…but it’s a community space, and I don’t want to rude. They have just as much right to this space as I do.

Oh god, they’re moving furniture.

I. Almost. Got. Hit. With. A. Ping-pong. Ball.
It bounced off the ceiling and landed in a blur of white, about five inches from my chair.

Now he’s stretching.
I’m gettingreallyscared.

Literally as I was typing that title, one of them hit the ball so hard it hit the vending machine and almost cracked the glass. And I almost wet my pants.
Oh, seminary….

He's from Argentina, so you have to imagine it...
(SCENE: I run into one of my professors in the hallway...)
Professor: Oh, hello!
Me: Hi! How are you?
Professor: Oh, I am fine. And how are you?
Me: Fine!
Professor: Ah, good. *pause* You know, you never did send me that email with the information...
Me: Oh! Oh my gosh, I didn't! Ugh, no, I completely forgot! I'm sorry, I'll get that to you!
Professor: Oh you forgot?
Me: Yeah...oh my gosh, yeah!
Professor: Ah, I see. You know, you've been forgetting things lately - I think you must be in love, or something!
Me: Ah! *laughing awkwardly* no....I wish! But, no...
Professor: *laughing*
Me: But I'll send you that email.
