the huxtables

by my calculations, we are nearly at the mid-point of the semester. just think about how many hours of work you've done so far. now divide that number by four. that's how much work i've done. it'll be such a relief once we get our first semester grades, so that i can take my D average and officially drop out of school.

what will that mean for you? for those of you with scholarships, it'll mean that you'll be competing against a more high-caliber talent pool in order to stay in the top 33%. just think, with all the slackers, addicts and menloves gone, you'll have to work even harder just to keep your class rank! sorry about that.

for those nine or ten people who sit by me in class, it'll mean more space for your laptops and books. so that's cool, i guess.

and finally, for those of you who frequent this website, it means that you'll only be reading postings about the cosby show, because that's all i'll be doing: watching the cosby show and eating government cheese.

but for now, i still get to post my silly little observations about our wonderful classes and professors. here are the highlights from this week:

• pitler made a lovely facial contortion during a student's answer, which completely threw off said student's line of thought... "i'm sorry," pitler said. "i was thinking about the yankees game last night." nice, p! way to keep your head in the game.
• professor hunter, as smart as she is, totally screwed up the pronunciation of "bonerb." BONN-erb??? come on, nan! it's clearly BONE-erb. i'd been looking forward to hearing you say it all week. you broke my heart, you know that? i still love you though.
• hellerstein did a good job in handling a truly unique moment in con law (regarding people who may be "wasting" class time with their questions) that was half "surreal life" and half "the real world." i hope no one's feelings have been seriously hurt, because believe me, if there's something you don't understand, i don't understand it either. hell, half the time someone asks something, i'm too dumb even to comprehend what's being asked. my bottom line on this issue: if you're the type of person who has a lot of questions to ask, i thank you. i love questions in class. every time someone asks a question, it buys me one more minute where i won't be called on.
