my professors winter 2003

yeah, so i absolutely adore the teacher for my science and history of gemstones class. he's like the sweetest old man. it's really funny, because even though he's uber nice, he's also really bitter at times. like, he'll be talking about something he's obviously really passionate about, and then when he finishes, he just looks out at the class, with this really sad frustrated look in his eyes and says, "you don't care," then he kinda sulks and goes on with his lecture.. yeah... he's great..

but now, since we're on the topic of my teachers let's just run through all of them and their little quirks that i have discovered since the semester started:
there's my career exploration teacher.. he's really cool, and really nice, he's also still pretty young. it was kinda gross though during our first class, because this girl asked him: "so why aren't you married?" in a really flirty, gross way, and i wanted to barf... yeah. our teacher is also psychologist.. that creeps me out too.. "is he analyzing me mommy????? make him stop!!!"

then there's my welsh teacher. he's really super passionate about the language, and that's really nice. apparently his ancestors were from wales, and he does a lot of family history stuff about them. one of his great-grandfathers or something had a lot to do with the LDS religion in wales or something. he likes to give us insulting phrases to practice for our oral exercises, i.e. my father tells me i'm stupid, i hate children, you are stupid, you look like crud, and why don't you go and see if you're on a corner. yeah.

let's see.. my american heritage teacher is like the ultimate, not only that, but during his trip to south america he arranged for professor latimer, the most popular ahtg teacher to verse us in his specialty: political theory. oh hyfryd, the best of both worlds. yeah both of them are really good and really funny too. on the first day of class they tricked us into believing that our TA was our teacher... he actually looks more like a teacher than our actual one. oh well. our professors also seem to have an obsession with monty python clips, little girls fighting each other with knives for cake, and bowels.

i have two asian lit teachers. one of them is the head of the honors program and the other one is in the asian studies department. they both really know what they're talking about, which is cool. when one of them got back from india, he got us little sandalwood elephant bookmarks, that was uber nice. i really needed to smell that later on too, because the boys across the way did something really funky to their septic system, and they started pumping it that night... can i just tell you, boys=eew

i'm still not sure about my new testament teacher, i mean, he seems like a nice enough guy, but there are some things that he is just really bad at handling socially. his teaching style is also a little hard for me to handle, but that's just really my own deal.. yar.

so those are my teachers... yeah.. uh huh.. yup
