Rene

At first i thought the professor was a woman,

but it was a man,

and i spoke to him after class,

and we found common ground in that when people email us they think we're females and so the conversation sways one way and when the person finds out your a male, the conversation and manner of speaking changes. Its pretty interesting. In his case because his name is Rene, and thats more of a female dominant name, and mine because people think its "Hazel." That was kinda funny

But it was the first day in class and it was pretty interesting.

I always say im a completely different person at school than out...im way more serious.

So he was up on stage cracking jokes left and right (at no effort) and in my head i was thinking that he needed to give up and get to the point, the material ... but he was pretty funny and kept going and going.

However this post is dedicated to the first professor to give me his whole life story before teaching anything of the subject matter:

The guy has a ph.d in a whole bunch of shit and deals with communications, psychology, statistics, basically everything i would like to deal with. But not so much the fact that soap operas hire him so he can provide info on the effect that the show will have on viewers' brains.. (i love psych)

He explained how he has a hard time hearing student questions because he was in a punk band for 15 years, and how he was positioned next to the drummer, so he cant hear shit. But the funniest thing of all was how he got to the United States. He was born in Germany, educated in France and Germany, and immigrated to the United States. Ofcourse, you dont just immigrate. Well, he got his permanent residency in a lottery. He explained that he was in a bar with some friends and some tobacco company was running this lottery for citizenship and he explained how they were pretty drunk and took it all as a joke, nonetheless filled out the slip. (Let me take a break). This was all because the United States wanted some diversity, so the department involved with immigration was accepting inquiries from diverse people of the world. In other words to give people, not only rich and intelligent people, the opportunity to live in the United States. (And back to the story) A long while later his friend called him and said they had been accepted "congratulations! you just won yourself a greencard." And thats how he came to America. And he is very grateful for the opportunity and explained how his life is so much better as well as how awesome it is to date nerds.
