Only 2 More Weeks

At the risk of sounding sappy, I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed everyone in the class. I normally don't get the chance to know all of my classmates, but this semester I'll walk out knowing everyone's name. It was really cool that we all came from different backgrounds. It really made perspectives and even the blogs more interesting to read.

As you might have noticed, I could probably stand to be a little more shy, so don't be surprised if the semester ends and I still say hi to you if I'm walking down the street or just about anywhere else I might happen to run into one of you. In fact, last Friday I thought that I saw Colby at the City and was about to go say hi even though he was in the middle of a whole bunch of people. I realize at the last second that it wasn't Colby and I almost made an ass out of myself, but at least I am friendly.

The semester is winding down and most of my friends are a little stressed, but excited about graduating. I'm going to be here for an extra semester and I am dreading the end of the summer. I know I will still have people to hang out with and I'm not going to spend a semester of Friday nights sitting at home alone, but I am really going to miss my two best friends. I met them both my first week of freshman year. One of them will be moving back to Texas and the other one is volunteering in Peru/Argentina for a year. The whole college experience will be different without them. I knew this was going to happen, but I can't believe how fast these four years have gone. I don't feel old enough to be graduating from college.

Help needed

What was everyone's favorite upper level college class so far? (I have some credits to fill and only upper level as the requirements.) I would love to have everyone's suggestions.

Inappropriate Much

Earlier this week, in a lecture hall of around 400 students, one of my professors did something really inappropriate. He was having trouble zooming in on one of his slides and the class as a whole was trying to direct him to the magnifying glass button. A girl in the front row (who actually annoys the crap out of me) jumped up to help him on stage. She didn't hit the zoom button, and the class all yelled "No" at her in unison. Right after we did that, the prof motioned like he was pretending to shoot her in the back of the head with his hand.

Even though I laughed because the girl is on her own level of obnoxious, it really was wrong of him. She was just trying to help him.

On Monday, the same prof threatened us as a whole class. He was mad at us for packing up our things before the bell rang and for just generally not paying attention. (I try to listen, but the man is kind of monotone and I have a limited amount of focus). He said, "I haven't finished writing your exam for Thursday and I can't decide if I am mad at you guys, or really mad at you guys." After taking the exam, I think I can assess that he is moderately angry with us. Still, I think he should stick to his research. I'm sure he is intelligent, but having a lot of knowledge in an area, doesn't mean you have the ability to teach it to others and it certainly doesn't mean you have people skills.

Please answer my poll, it will help me determine what song I am going to use for my open media project. Also if anyone knows of a song that is used in random places and remade by artist of different genres, I would love some suggestions.

Cat: No, Dad, that is Mary J. Blige.
