Unscramble the Blue Letters


The three of us take this class together. And then Carrie reads all the books in the original geerk and Latin, goes to all the lectures. I read all the books in English and go to most of the lectures. My brother is kind of busy. He redas one book of 12 and goes to a couple of lectures, marches himself up to our room a couple days before the exam to get himself tutored. The three of us go to the exam together, and we sit down. And we sit there for three horus — and our little blue notebooks — yes, I'm that old. We walk out, we look at each other, and we say, "How did you do?" And Carrie says, "Boy, I feel like I didn't really draw out the main point on the hleiegan diatcelic." And I say, "God, I really wish I had really connected John Locke's troehy of property with the philosophers that follow." And my bterhor says, "I got the top grade in the class."

We walk out, we look at each other, and we say, "How did you do?" And Carrie says, "Boy, I feel like I didn't really draw out the main point on the Hegelian dialectic." And I say, "God, I really wish I had really connected John Locke's theory of property with the philosophers that follow." And my brother says, "I got the top grade in the class."
