ok, so at my class last night, i looked down to check off names from the roster of students- and i cannot focus on the paper- i can barely make out the letters- and in order to not look totally incompetent to new students, i blunder on for a few names until i just whip off the glasses to see if they are just smudged (which would be better than me going blind in a matter of minutes....) i wiped them off, and then noticed, to my horror, that they were NOT MY GLASSES. they were stephan's glasses which i must have picked up by mistake when i washed my face in the upstairs bathroom before leaving the house. not only could i not read the fine print in the text to do the lecture, i knew that stephan could not do his homework for not being able to read his text. i gave my lecture from memory- and felt grateful that i can still well enough to drive without glasses.........ok, so this story is not as good as losing stephan in the nyc subway, but it is still amusing.......
