"And there she was: in impeccable navy jacket, starched shirt and grey pants, with vivid red lipstick perfectly matching her nail polish. She was witty, warm and communicative, and her love of fashion was genuine. Maybe this is why we struck up a friendship. When she’s in the city we might walk in the park, see mutual friends, have a shopping spree, or go out for dinner or a drink, and laughing and talking all the while about any subject imaginable, serious as well as frivolous. Donna loves French restaurants, as well the great old American dining staples (she held her Pulitzer dinner which I attended, in a beautiful room in 21), and she also has a passion for independent theaters and bookstores. She writes emails with red ink and sends postcards – nowadays almost an archeological treasure – and gives as presents rare, precious books and Viennese cookies. She is disciplined and eccentric, private and yet very friendly: a true rara avis, one of a kind. "

So, Hampden, I'm obviously the best person in the Greek Class, right?
That would depend entirely on which criteria were used to evaluate which Classics student was the "best." From a purely academic viewpoint the answer is unequivocally no. Unfortunately, by the standards of "best-dressed" or "sexiest" you're also outclassed by several of your pupils, most notably Francis.
As a consolation, consider that you are in fact the student "most likely to consume an entire plate of poisonous mushrooms without noticing."
