Infectious Professors and The Case for the Out of Place Raisins

I'm now starting to believe that it is perfectly acceptable to lip sync to your itunes.

Anywho. Hello everyone! Can you believe that it's already Wednesday evening? Seriously, I'm not sure I can.

On Monday at ten o'clock, my Spanish professor walked into the classroom with a cold. Sitting in the front row as she hacked her head off in my direction, I should have know what was imminent.

For you see, I was greeted at 7:00 AM on Tuesday with a sore throat. Today, it's added the sniffles and drained my energy. It's sufficient to say that I've stocked up on the OJ

And some spray butter that I don't have much use for.

 The peculiar thing about this whole situation came when I entered the classroom for the exam today. When I said that I had gotten sick on Tuesday, the profesora accused me of getting her sick.
...Who was the one coughing on me? Yeah.

They say that students that sit towards the front of classrooms are more likely to get the higher grades. Higher grades or a healthy immune system? What's more important?

Speaking of said exam, I have a question for all y'all out there.

Say you have the option of putting raisins in either fruit salad or rice pudding. Where do you put them? I honestly have no idea, especially since I do not partake in the gag-worthy dessert known as rice pudding. Also, who puts raisins in a fruit salad? Honestly.
If you're completely confused, I had to use the Spanish vocabulary in my exam to put the ingredients with the food. A language test is worrisome enough, now I have to actually analyze the questions?

All this fuss over raisins. My goodness.

The rest of the evening for me includes eating a late dinner with a breakfast theme/pirate theme. And a band. You read that right.

Have you ever gotten sick from a teacher? And where would you put raisins? (Bizarre questions, I know. That's all I've got.)

Refresh, Studying, Professors and Daydreaming

I'd just like to take a moment to say let's skip over last night's post of venting and move on. Goodness, I don't even want to go back and read my 14-year old inner emo kid writing. I just needed to vent I suppose.

Today, I have just taken some time to chill out. I've also taken the time to avoid studying for my Public Speaking midterm to do some serious drawer organizing. Behold!

You may say, "So what, folding clothes?" To which I say, "No it's ART!"

Yes, they are lovely. But I have gotten on the studying, and hope to do well on my midterm tomorrow.

Teachers are an interesting breed. There are some teachers that many people love, while another group can't stand that teacher. There is one habit that some teachers have that I cannot stand, which one of my current professors possesses. The best way I can put it is she acts like I'm a puppy who happened to get bonked on the head. To that I say NO. If you want to challenge my intelligence, just flat out say it. Don't baby me. Some people may prefer that, but not me.

I want to do something theatre-y lately. I think since my Costume class is in the Auditorium, it's making me crave that type of thing.

As for careers, today I was thinking about how interesting it could be to be a personal assistant to a movie star. Of course, when I think about it I create basically a sitcom-y scenario with a kooky star. Then they have silly, fun adventures. ...I can pretend, right?

Well, I suppose I should study for my test more. Ta ta for now!

What type of teacher do you prefer?

Sleeping issues and Quirks

Oooh boy. This was a rocky start to a day.

Last night my room mate came in at 9 to the room with her boyfriend. I was going to try to go to bed at 9:15, but that wasn’t going to happen. I managed to go to “bed” at 9:45 though. The problem was sleeping. Everyone in the hall decided that was the night that they would start making noise like crazy.
After who knows how long, my roomie and her boyfriend came back into the room. Then they started messing around on facebook. (Not on each other, goodness! That would be another story.) The clicking of a mouse pad is not helpful to sleep AT ALL. After what might have been a half hour, I told them, “Okay, if you’re going to be on Facebook all night, can you go outside to do it? It’s really obnoxious.” May seem a little mean, but come ON. They took this as they needed to go to bed, even though I didn’t care. Just as long as they go out in the common area. Not that much of a stress. Whatever.

This morning, my history class was canceled. Would have been nice to know that before waking up for it. Alas, she sent the email AFTER I went to bed. Oh well. The rest of the day was alright though, except I didn’t really do anything.

One of my hall mates might be going home, and it’s really sad. She’s one of the nice ones, and it sucks that she’s having issues. It’s more issues with she wants to get her life together. We’ll see what happens.

Lately I’ve been noticing quirks that my professors have. True, I do this for everyone, but today I was thinking about it a lot more.
My history professor is obsessed with quotations. She will use them for EVERYTHING.
My Weight Training professor calls people by the place they’re from. Today, I officially became Philomath. I think it’s kind of funny, because it reminds me of those ridiculous sports movies where the coach has little names for everyone.
My Theatre professor swears a lot and waves his arms around his head like jazz hands.
My Health/Fitness professor talks at a mile a minute, and she’s the stereotypical athletic nature-y sports person. She’s the one you’d see out with her husband and dog on a walk in freezing weather.
I don’t have quirks for my FYE teachers yet.
My English professor doesn’t really have any quirks, but I noticed that she always wears two certain pieces of jewelry. One is a pearl necklace with a tiny gold pendant in the middle, and the other is a set of golden bangles. I wonder why?

I love noticing little details like that. I wonder if I could use that in a job?

Still sick, should probably think about heading to bed early again. Now I have some Tylenol pm, so hopefully that will help knock me out.

What things do you notice about people? What's your quirk?
