The Joys of Community College

So I am taking this class, it is Introductory to Hospitality and I need it for my Degree. And as with all intro classes the students are quite interesting, and a bit wacky.

I'll start with my Professor. Firstly her hair, it is this big crazy curly Mullet thing, and she wears the mullet part in a bun (See this pic as an idea This is a link to an example website. She is also so very loud and yells OK on a regular basis. For example she'll be writing something on the board and turn around so quickly yelling "OK ANY QUESTIONS!!!!!" The first time she did this I nearly fell right out of my chair. Don't get me wrong though, she is a great Teacher and I actually really like her.


There are also some great characters in the class.

First we will start with someone I will call "Ed" He is an older gentleman, who is not even in the Hospitality industry. Which he constantly reminds us by says he is just taking the class to see what he wants to do. He also constantly Argues with EVERYTHING and everyone in class. Especially the teacher. He argues over when the Transcontinental railroad was finished, about the civil war (And yes this has NOTHING to do with what we are learning). This past week he decided to take on the entire class. We were speaking about high end restaurants and that they are worth going to, especially if you are in the hospitality business. He proceeded to start yelling about how ridiculous we all were. And I don't mean he debates, he is just an asshole who thinks he knows everything about EVERYTHING. he sits behind me and all I want to do is turn around and smack him while yelling that he is really an idiot and if he thinks he's so smart go on Jeopardy for Fucks sake! I am sure there will be more to come about "Ed" in the coming weeks


Another student in class is a theater major, who is also taking the class to see if the hospitality industry is something she would enjoy. And boy is she Perky, and I mean perkier than a child who just woke up on Christmas morning. The teacher asks a lot of questions to the class, and if you know the answer you just say it. no need to raise your hand or act like we are in grade school. Well Theater girl hadn't answered one question until this week, when she finally knew an answer her hand shot into the air so fast I thought it was going to fly off, and in her completely High pitched voice she answered the question and after she Giggled furiously. I really think this chick is insane.


One more before I go, we have quite a few international students in the class. One of them is this guy who either doesn't pay attention or can't understand what the teacher is saying. Which would be fine if he didn't waste all of our time asking questions that the Teacher Literally JUST SAID AND WROTE IT ON THE FREAKING BOARD. I mean READ the board that is what it is for. Listen to the lecture, pay the fuck attention. Now maybe he doesn't have a handle on the English language, then do what the other international students do, buy a translator so if there is a word you don't understand type it the fuck in and stop wasting my time.


Ok that's enough for now, I am sure more will come later :)

I sent his one sister an email aver a week ago on what to get the kids, but I got no response. which is really frustrating.

But At least I have all the wrapping I can get done and the shopping I could afford.

Late Post I know!

I am THRILLED that Obama was Elected.

I actually fell asleep and Aaron had to wake me up to hear the speeches.


This actually gives me hope for the future, which for a long time I have had none.

Though I do feel bad for Obama, he is inheriting a tremendous amount of work with the economy, Iraq, Afghanistan etc etc.

Though I have a feeling that things will get done in this world now!

This is truly historical and I am hugely grateful that I am around to witness it!

You Are Changing Leaves



Pretty, but soon dead.






Your Autumn Test Results



You are a dynamic, vibrant person. You aren't afraid to pursue your passions.



When you are happiest, you are calm. You appreciate tradition and family. You enjoy feeling cozy.



You tend to be afraid of change. You are never ready for things to be different.



You find solitude to be the most comforting thing in the world. Being alone with your thoughts feels very peaceful.



Your ideal day is active and full. You like to keep busy with your favorite things, and you appreciate a routine.



You are very impatient. You spend more time waiting for something than actually enjoying it.

Request for costume

I know some of you on my list are ren fans.

I am going to ren wedding in November, and although it is not required, I would like to dress up.

Unfortunately All of my Ren garb isn't wedding appropriate. I was wondering if anyone has anything I can borrow. I would be happy to pay for shipping

Thanks!
