How does one say "not her again" in Latin?

The Latin class was fun. The professor is funny. Ther's something amusing about a Latin professor who teaches in Birkenstocks and Hawaiian shirts.

Unfortunately, I managed to appear as the know-it-all in class. I didn't mean to do it! Really! As a full-time student, I HATED the know-it-all in class, the one who had to answer all questions.

It really wasn't intentional. He was asking questions about English Grammar that were followed by long painful silenced. (They weren't difficult grammar questions! Stuff like "What's a demonstrative pronoun, and can it be used as an adkective as well as a pronoun?")(This/These/That/Those; yes, as in these books) No one else was answering, or even trying, so I ended up answering all of the grammar questions. Drat! Now no one in class will like me (and that's so important to me at this stage in the game.

Tutored twice yesterday, and will tutor twice today, not counting the student that wanted a last-minute session and then no-showed. I better finish my homework, Latin class meets tomorrow too!

Uh...I hate to break it to you, but you are the know it all. No one really knows the answer to the question you just gave.

Neither. His name is Hussey. I think that I took an English grammar class from Engberg when I was in school.

I really hope that the man doesn't have a daughter. How would you like to be introduced as "Little Miss Hussey?"
