College things
I've been in classes for over a week now, so I'm sure I'm an expert on all things college like. So here are some of my observations:+ Admission to college does not equal a guaranteed boost in intelligence
+ When it comes to lecturing, most people actually really suck at it.
+ Having English as your first language as a TA of Americans is a huge plus (not like I would know as both of my TAs are foreign).
+ College professors still say really stupid things.
+ Along the same vein, people with personalities are inherently more interesting than people without.
And because I enjoy doing this, a list of really strange, stupid or funny things I have heard since I have arrived.
"A lot of hurricanes hit the coast of South America." -- Yeah because we're always hearing about the losses in Brazil and Venezuela when there's a hurricane.
A "great site" being defined as an excellent place for a city with natural fortifications or access to natural harbors and things of that nature. - "West Point, NY is a great site." "How so?" "There's a military academy there." Because the military is a natural physical feature.
"As you can see there are lots of big squares things, which means you're looking at the Western States."
"Deadly swarms of honey bees."
See, I've learned lots of things. :)

Of course people are still stupid when you're in college. The hope is that you're in honors classes so you don't notice. I'm sorry, dear. *hugs*
I have 2 chinese TAs. One is named "John," and the other is Ke.
and I guess formulas = formulers and v = we. OH, and for my calc professor.. he draws his 9's like g's. That was a very confusing lecture.
