Ahahahahahaha, I can’t stop laughing about today’s in-class study session. What makes it even funnier is that I was so busy this morning replying to e-mails that I forgot to print off a copy of the study guide to bring to class! Hahahahaha! So instead of going off the study guide and since no one else remembered to print it off or to bring it, I just ran through the syllabus and gave a brief overview of each topic we talked about. I went through book chapters and then started into the presentations we had in class. When I got to Lushbaugh’s presentation, I asked, “Who remembers what Mr. Lushbaugh presented?” Two of my more vocal (and entertaining, hehe) students piped up with the following in this order: “He’s paranoid!” “VX gas and pessimism!” I, of course, corrected him and told him it’s an agent, not a gas, then they continued, “And the University’s out to get you!” Ahahahahahahahaha! I love it! Mike, you give the most memorable and interesting presentations. 🙂 After we laughed a while about the University being out to get everyone, I ran through a more detailed (and useful) summary of what Lushbaugh actually talked about aside from the paranoia and pessimism concerning the univeristy system. I’m still giggling inside from all the fun things they said in class. The final exam is going to be interesting. 😉

Another funny thing I just thought about concerns my students taking notes during today’s study session. Generally, they didn’t, but when I told them that I’d most likely be teaching French this fall, most of them wrote that down! They wanted to know which classes and sections I’d be teaching. It’s so funny! Rather than take notes for this class’s final, they took notes on classes I’ll be teaching in the future! I love it! They’re such a fun group. I think I’ll be cheery for the rest of the day. 🙂
