Talk Nerdy to Me

I am currently taking a grammar class at school. I'm an English major and I know basic rules of grammar, but I want to know the little, minute details because someday I might be a teacher.

Soon after discussion of Nominal pronouns started, we all were cracking jokes about other ways to speak English properly, but are not in common use. "It is I" sounds like something right out of a King Arthur flick, but it is spoken correctly even though it sounds archaic. Basically the class got down and nerdy. It was a lot like when I tried to explain double negatives to Sam on the way to Chili's. She said she understood the idea for math purposes, but she didn't get how it worked for words. I tried to explain it to her from a logical point of view, but I confused myself in the process: fun to do, but always too easy.

I have to do teacher observations for my Foundations of Education class. I still haven't gotten the teacher. I only have to observe for 10 hours, but I want to get started right away. Hopefully I'll get my teacher on Wednesday so I can complete my hours very soon!

Alright, nothing else to blather on about.
