Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 94: Holidays, tournaments, presents and snow!

Perspectives was boring. Mine was about communication in the workplace, which was the only one I could find open (the popular ones fill inhumanly fast.) Old, really nice professor, easy A.

World Cultures sucked. I had this professor whose voice sounded EXACTLY like Patrick Stewart's. He dedicated a whole lecture to his trip to Morocco(?) and spent a half-hour talking about the significance of the dimensions of the archways. The tests were Nintendo Hard as well. Not tough questions with substance like "what events led to the fall of such-and-such civilization?" but crap like "what was the unemployment rate in Zambia in 1978?" He showed a bunch of godawful foreign movies and tested on them too. At the end he let us come up with the final movie, which was to be a movie we thought was most representative of American culture. It ended up being "Do The Right Thing" by Spike Lee. :confused:

Institutions was meh, I had this guy who quoted Monty Python on the syllabus and said the word "phenomenon" about 15 times a lecture. I was sorely tempted to chime in with "doo doo doodoo doo."

Revisions was cool, I had this hippie/nerd grad student. I had a C going into the last week of the class and walked out with an A after re-doing half my projects.

I just ordered 3 ambassador pizzas...they will be frozen, packed in ice and shipped to me. Something tells me this might be expensive. :p

Remember to bring some home with you when you're up here next month :p

That may have been one of your wisest purchases, however.

Sorry ctf, but we will be eating all the pizza over New Years!!! Besides, we can GO to tAmbo over UAA weekend :D

(This is my 500th post. :) )
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 94: Holidays, tournaments, presents and snow!

The joys of being Jewish and not having to do that. :)
Yeah, but don't you have to come up with a weeks worth of gifts?? :p
Next week may get far more interesting for me.

I'm flying home (Maryland) tomorrow, then driving back with the parents on Saturday (my mom needs to be in Grand Rapids on Sunday). So, the parents are staying at my place Saturday. I'm prepared for that. Then last night my mom tells me they may want to stay at my place again either Tuesday or Wednesday night. I explain that I'll be at the GLI and getting home late those nights.

Mom: "I'll talk to your Dad, maybe we'll go to the hockey games"

*facepalm*
While I will be on decent behavior at the GLI, I don't need my parents there.
http://www.aaimt.com/services.htm Not exactly sure what the holiday hours are next week, but that would be a good way to get them to kill an hour or two perhaps. Might be hard to get them both in at the same time, but it would give them something to do if they don't go to the GLI. The week after that my class starts getting turned loose into the Student Clinic there. :)

Make sure you introduce them to Bill. :D

I'm still unsure if I'm going. Too many variables at the moment.
You're going, at least on Tuesday even I gotta drag you from Adrian to do so. Gotta little deal I gotta be at on Wednesday that will make me a little late for the first game. :o
Also, VermontDad sent me a pleasant rep: "stop reading my posts U BUG".

He sent me something about him still having nine lives. I still think we should go and kill the thread for him. :D

Survived the grocery store tonight. We needed to get supplies to ensure we survived the giant lizard which will soon be ravaging the upper Midwest.

Perspectives - Had "Hockey History and Culture" and wrote a paper on the history of the zamboni and suggested ideas to increase participation in youth hockey.

World Cultures - Had a good professor who was great at intertwining multimedia, including movies, audio, and photos into his lecture. He introduced me to one of my favorite movies now, "City of God."

Institutions - Had another awesome professor, who was obviously tenured and had a distaste for university admistration and bitterness towards his ex-wife. He left you with some great quotes, such as "You ask the suburban kid what the green stuff in front of the house is, he'll say the lawn. You ask the city kid what the green stuff in front of the house is, he'll say broken glass."

Revisions - Rocked the course mostly because I had a Chinese professor who had taught english in China.

Perspectives, I knew I wanted a political one and ended up with The Unintended Consequences of the First Amendment. I actually have to credit that class for transforming me into a halfway-decent public speaker/debater.

World Cultures, I had an awesome prof who told us not to bother buying the $150 textbook, made up his own lectures that were actually worth attending, and gave BS-able essay exams. :cool:

Revisions, I had a 65-year old grad student/grandmother, who was the essence of an ex-hippie. Biked in from South Range every morning (that's about six miles :eek:), chose to live in a small house with no electricity (candles for light & a fireplace for heating), and probably lit up a few in her day.

Institutions, I had a "get out of jail free" card thanks to a 5 on the AP Macroeconomics exam. :D

Hey now, there's nothing wrong with going to the GLI with the fam.

Perspectives: Somewhat insane older woman teaching about Antarctica. Fun class, actually, and the teacher was the fun (not THAT fun :p) kind of insane.

World Cultures: Same teacher as Twitch, same slate of crappy movies, same lecture about mosques being three times taller than they are high in Morocco. Rocked that class despite waking up half an hour late to the final - I still finished before 90% of the class. :o :D

Revisions: Blech. Another somewhat insane older woman, a grad student in Scientific and Technical Communications, but not nearly as fun. Sent out emails that make her seem like she was on prescription drugs, without a prescription. At least I learned some HTML out of the deal.

Institutions: ... I can't remember anything about this course. :o

There is, when you want to shout obscene things at State's goalie. :p
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 94: Holidays, tournaments, presents and snow!

My parents both went to Michigan...I have a feeling they'd be ok with it ;) .

Yeah, but one of Mandy's favorate things to yell at the Refs would be how her Blind father could ref better than them. She might not actually want to employ that one with him in earshot of it. ;)

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 94: Holidays, tournaments, presents and snow!

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 94: Holidays, tournaments, presents and snow!

Start with anyone who has started more than two threads today.

I'd say start with Hokydad but he's being pummeled so mercilessly by Red Cloud right now that it would count as euthanasia. And the entire PC fanbase would be insanely bored.
