Today officially marks the first time I've been publicly admonished by a guy I have the hots for and I did not wind up feeling horrible for the next short to long while.

Professor Sandstrom made an aside comment to me at the beginning of class about something regarding my homework, something I'd been doing that I was not to continue doing, phrased in a way that would have, in the past, made me lower my head for fear tears would escape, and leave me feeling miserable until something acted on me to cheer me up.

Not so, this time.

I blushed, I know I did. I felt it red in my face. But there wasn't even a hint of tearyness, just a cool calculation about logins and whether or not I should offer him an LJ code.

Go, me.

Yeah! Go you. You should definitely offer him an LJ code. He sounds nifty.

I'm of two minds about doing that. First, I think it would be dreadfully cool, and I'd love to hang out with him online.

Second... he's got the address of my 'official' LJ, the one that's in my legal bodyname. It and this one run very much separately.

If I were to be hanging out with him on LJ, I'd most likely want to hang out with him here. There are a number of reasons why this would not be good, chief among them being that I am very public in this journal about having a serious case of the hots for him. Not something that I'd take action on, but definitely not something to have brought to his attention in any way while he is instructing a class that I'm in, or even while I'm still a student at DeVry.

Ahhh, ethics.

Probably my wisest course of action is to go ahead and offer him the LJ code, and interact with him solely through my real-name journal until such time as it won't be a professional hazard to either of us for this identity to friend him.

...If he ever Googles on "professor sandstrom", he's probably run into my journal, as 6/40 results are me.
