Forums - General - The wackiest school asignment ever!!! Help Me!!!!!!!!

So a little background info:

I'm a Public Affairs major (thought it would help me get over my social anxiety if I found myself in situations I would naturally avoid), and last week I had class in which my professor decided to put us in front of a camera so that we could get over any shyness we may have. We were supposed to say why we choose our major and what our direction in life is.

I of course started to panic ad have an anxiety attack. I calmed douwn a little but I had no idea what to say. My name came faster than I anticipated, and like the socially retarded dork which I am, I did what was probably the stupidest most ridiculous thing I have ever done: when he called my name I got up, grabbed my thingsand ran through the door faster than road runner.

Eye witnesses say that my professor was like "oh no he didn't", and the rest of the class was laughting their asses off.

Current problem:

Today I had an exam and a girl came up to me, gave me a package and said that my professor wanted me to have it, and that by the next time we meet (this Thursday at class) I have to figure out why he gave it to me, or else he'll fail me. I opened the package to find a Mickey Mouse doll in it.

This whole thing reminded me of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire when Harry has to figure out how to use a gold egg to find the clue for the second challenge of the Triwizard Tournament. So naturally I tried to put ol' Mickey underwater, but sadly that didn't lead anywhere.

 

I'm stuck! I need help!!! Please, if anybody has any ideea on how to solve this riddle it would be greately appreciated. He may actually fail me!!!

I will be uploading a picture of the Mickey doll as my avatar very soon.

Please help me get over the absudity of your first sentence.

You have anxiety over public speaking...so you decided to pick a career where that would be a major compenent?

I can understand you taking a class or two for electives but to pick your major based on that?  Man, that just seems like you're setting yourself up for a career at McDonald's drive-thru.

Also, I'm pretty sure whatever reason you give for the Mickey Mouse doll is supposed to be an inflection on you so any answer we give you is going to be worthless since it isn't you.

Harsh, but true. I was visiting a therapist trying to get over my anxiety issues, and she advised me to face my fears. Sadly, I think I took it a little too overboard.

Yeah, not trying to be mean, it's just I don't know how else to put you made a bad choice

It's great that you're trying to get over your fears and your therapist is right, but if you're afriad of clowns you shouldn't just go join the circus.



Oooooh, I love puzzles.

Let's see... maybe he's just being a giant douche and won't fail you.

Or you could do the generic thing and ask him what it means.

Hey I've got a couple of ideas which might not necessarily be correct - but will show initiative and creativity:

Mickey's first outing in an episode 'plane crazy' ended in him crashing a plane, also the audience didn't receive him that well.

You could claim that you're first outing in this class was about as successful as a 'plane crash' but that as Mickey did, you are gonna change the audiences opinion of you and succeed!



I think the girl is just messing with you



hmmm...wierd....maybe your meant grow big ears? :D nut seriously id look up mickey mouse to see if there is anything really related to shyness or running out of a class.wikipedia would be good.

So she stole the Mickey Mouse figurine from the classroom just to mess with me?
