So, this will probably be my last post for awhile (because I post sooo often as it is). Lack of internet connection and whatnot. I was trying to think of something fun to post, and I realized I hadn't done fun professor quotes at all this year, so here are some of my favorites that I wrote down from this past semester.

Bennet:
(She taught psychology of gender differences...and she's like dumb x10.)

"Alright, anyother thoughts (pause)(longer pause). Mmmmkay....well, but thanks for that."

"...and there were angry feminists there. Most feminists are fine but these were angry."

(talking about schizophrenia)
"The voices sound devilish. They're not nice voices."

Hoffman:
(easily my favorite professor this semester. Intro to American Politics)

"The Confederacy felt they could leave the Union. Lincoln said they couldn't. The Union won that argument."

"This is a pet peeve of political scientists...which doesn't mean much, but still..."

(when talking about least represented groups in congress)
"We could go all the way down to lesbian eskimos!"

"There are a few members of congress who are gay. Some of them are willing to say it, others aren't...but we suspect."

"They won't let you on the (House of Representatives) Rules committee if you're any kind of...I really hate to use this word...Maverick."

"...gosh I sound like Sarah Palin today."

"Who regulates Wall Street? Well, no one...but in theory?"

Clohesy:
(Philosophy: The Art of Thinking)(yes, it was nearly as awesome as it sounds)

"Emotions are natural. Trying to get rid of them would be ridiculous!"

(He used this as an example once)
"So say you live in an apartment building and there is this really crotchity old man that lives there too. He's kind of annoying, but doesn't cause any real trouble. Then one day, a gay couple moves in next door to him....and he just goes ape shit. He's banging on the walls telling them to be quiet when they aren't even making any noise and calling the landlord about every little thing they do. He's really just making their live miserable and...being just a son of a bitch. And they're probably a nice couple too. I mean, it's not like they're doing it in the hallway or anything..."
(I laughed a lot...like...a lot)

"We should get over how we feel. People are people and they will do what makes them happy and we should take joy in that."

Iqbal:
(Intro to Geology)(yes, it was as boring as it sounds...but he was kind of funny...sometimes)

"Let's take a journey to the center of the earth! Yes? That would be a fun one!!"

"..each excitement is different"

"The Cedar River doesn't care about the Gulf of Mexico"

"An aquitard will not make us happy."

"You don't expect to see big boulders flying around! That would be scary, of course!!"

(he put a picture up on the overhead projector thing)
"This is Mars. See...this is where the Martians live... .... I'm kidding this is Iowa."

"...the experts, they know everything."

I had another professor, but he didn't really talk much. It was more of a group activity class (silly psychologists...). We did watch 'Super Nanny' in that class once...so that was fun.

Anyway. That's all for now.

I hate bad days that end well. I feel like the day should pick, and it should either be bad or good, and it should be an all or nothing deal. Either everything I touch should be shit or gold, because shitty gold is good for no one.

School has me down. I used to be so sure of everything, and now I have no idea. I hate to say it, but I almost am on the verge of kind of missing high school. There were so many possibilities then, and when I graduated I was so sure of how I saw my life. Even last year, despite all the change I still had a constant future. I don't know what's happened this year, but I'm having serious indecision about what I'm going to do after college. Law school has never seemed like an actual tangible idea, but now it is. I'm not sure I'm smart enough for it, or if I have the commitment for it. But is counseling really what I want to do either?

I guess possibilities are fun for awhile, but then they just get overwhelming.

Sophomore slump, party of one.
