Actually thought of the meaning? Well....

He thought about it that same day and time the comment was said, but not really picked at it nor researched the topic. Gosh, he should have known this was going to happen. He knew somewhat about what it mean, but not the full extent.

Kennedy stood up and was about to go right, but then thought about it. What if they were asked what the meaning was? What if they got points taken of for going left?

Gaaaaaaah!

Making up his mind, he went to stand left to the professor. The only thing he needed was for Scarbior to embarrass him in front of the class for not having researched the topic.
