I'm sitting in my class and my teacher walks in. The room is pretty big and I'm sitting in the far corner. There are also a lot of other people in my row of desks. Then this Mexican guy proposes to another girl, she says no, and then another guy proposes to her and she says yes. Instead of a ring, he gives her a book about a woman soldier in Iraq. Then I get this weird image of the book cover that I've never before seen in my life, and then the guy says to her it's about the "soldiers in the rough." This term for some reason has similar meaning to the term "diamonds in the rough," meaning something has potential but hasn't gotten the chance to shine yet. And to give just a little more detail about this book cover, it had a picture of a man with a soldiers hat on, a beard, and a mustache on his nose. (Yes, on it not under it) It was very odd.
