ugh that lokopanda story kinda reminded me of when i ended up having to sit next to this guy who was in a wheelchair and had some sort of mental disability so he had to have an attendant with him. anyway, this was for my english literature class and we had to discuss the latest chapters of a book we were reading, and i obviously ended up having to discuss with him and he couldn't... actually, like, you know, talk (at least not a lot)??? so his attendant, who barely spoke english, had to translate for him and it was SO AWKWARD so by the time the break came mid-class, i told my professor that i had a job interview and i had to leave early just so i wouldn't have to sit through another 40 minutes of awkward discussions with someone who probably didn't even know where he was
