This is going to be one of those REAL brief posts, written five minutes before my "literature course."
Here are some of my favorite quotes from my professor:
"Highway Stripper is a very American poem" (this from the professor who says he doesn't have any stereotypes towards America, but says we're all orientalist).
"Down Syndrome, that's a disease you know..." (REALLY. I HAD NO IDEA.)
"Here the author is using foreshadowing, that's when the author writes something alluding to the future." (I am officially back in kindergarten).
"You aren't very academically minded are you?" (Not in this group therapy session, no. In a CLASS though, that might be a different story).
"Last year's class was great because they always disagreed with me, especially David...(two minutes later)...no, I think you're wrong."
GAAAAAAH. Someone get me out of this "class"
I'm just going to listen to this song instead of going to class. That's what got me through 40 pages of my research paper.

Ughh, patronizing teachers are the worst. I know how you feel. I had this one for what is basically a history course not-so-cleverly disguised as a "humanities" course--whatever that really means, no one knows!--and she was soooo patronizing. I was so glad to be rid of her. And then LAST WEEK my other humanities teacher (who is pretty awesome) was out and GUESS WHO HE HAD TEACH THE CLASS? I was screaming in my head out of frustration the entire time. Awfulness.
ReplyDeleteHere's a meme you can spitefully enjoy instead of that class: http://memebase.com/category/terrible-teacher/
Sarah oh my god are you totally in love with Local Natives too?
ReplyDeleteThey are a pretty sweet band.
Also you are almost done with your dumb teacher. Just make a game out of it and tally all the dumb things he says.
Or use that meme Missy gave you and put all his quotes in there. Become internet famous!
Are... you maybe allowed to smack the teacher with a lit book? I feel like he'd deserve it.
ReplyDeleteOn a happier note, I like that song! I've never heard of the Local Natives before, but me gusta. And yes you are almost done with the, er, "class". WHEN DO YOU COME BACK?
40 page research paper? That is intense man.
ReplyDeleteBut you're almost done and you will be back soon!
And I will return to being the farthest one away. But it will be nice to have you back.
