"...it could even be (Furlong^2)/Fortnight!" - Prof. Ronney, my Heat Transfer teacher.

So, yah.... I've come to the realization that even the slightest, lamest things amuse me in my classes. And it seems to me that ever since high school, classes aren't quite the same in college. Everything becomes so serious and formal because professor's are under the notion that we want to further our education and become "professionals". Hence, whenever a professor makes a joke (or attempts to make a joke for that matter) or says something slightly amusing, I become slightly amused. I even become amused at times when they are serious, like when my Robotics teacher was reassuring the class (comprised mostly of CS majors) after telling us that we would have to remember Trigonometry! I was trying to hide a smile as he was 'hyping up' math I learned in high school and imagining perhaps some CS students shocked by the fact that sines and cosines were to be used (no offense Rob). Or even a tangent!

Speaking of tangents, my Heat Transfer professor apparently teaches another class that some of my engineering friends are also in and gave the same speech about problem solving in both classes. Erin complained of this fact today as the teacher rambled on so I turned to her and said, "Don't you see? You can now predict the future! Assuming things continue on a perfectly normal course, for the next several minutes you have become a seer or an oracle!" ...or something along those lines.

See! Amusing things, however slight (like my prof. from England; English accents, very amusing!), are what keep me sane. Or rather, they provide a little insanity to the sanity of class. Eventually I'll lose all interest in higher education learning and I will simply go to class to be amused. That or to color in my activity book! Hoorah for crayons!
