He almost fooled me today.
The poli sci prof, that is. Today he wore a blue tie. And he played a clip from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. You know, the one where Arthur is arguing with Dennis the peasant about systems of government. This was particularly fun because yesterday we had to fill out index cards with our contact info, plus the last book we read and our latest favorite CD. And then we had to read them aloud so we could all get to know each other or some junk. So, for my latest fav CD, I put down the cast recording to Spamalot, because I couldn't think of anything else that didn't sound really weird.
It probably says something about me that I decided the least weird thing I could put down was Spamalot.
So, as he's introducing the clip, he says, "Some of you might recognize this -- I know you will, Chris," and then he hits play and it's Monty Python and I cracked right up, so that was awesome. I started to let my guard down just a little bit.
And then at the end of class he's talking about what makes up a democracy, and he's talking about various freedoms, and tosses in the idea that sometimes a democracy and its citizens will need to curtail a few of their freedoms in order to protect themselves from other militaristic societies who want to take them over.
Right.
I bet he was wearing that red tie, underneath his shirt.
I also feel a little weird that I just keep going on about stuff that happened in class and junk, but there's literally nothing else to mention. I have class until one every day, and then...well, then I gots nothin'.
Oh, except today I learned that the idea of sitting under a tree and reading a textbook is fun in an ideal sense, but not so much when you realize there are a lot more bugs than there are me.
