So, as you may or may not realize, I'm studying Business Administration at the local university. Well, this semester I found out that in order to teach business at a post-secondary level you need to be a lawyer. All my teachers are lawyers! And let me tell you something about lawyers: They LOVE to hear themselves talk! Holy Moly do they ever talk a lot.
The one lawyer-teacher that makes sense is my Business Law professor. We'll call him....Fletcher Reede. He looks nothing like Jim Carrey but he does make up a lot of stories that could possibly be called lies. Well, Fletcher likes to hear himself talk as well, and he will often get off topic and try to get back on track by saying "in any event". I have honestly never heard anyone say those three words so many times in a three hour lecture. Last week, I counted.
For realsies. He actually said it 21 times in a three hour lecture. Not even three hours because we got out of class early! I once had a math teacher (who years later dated my mom...) who would make this weird noise all the time, kind of like a--I really don't know how to explain it but those who went to high school with me know exactly what I'm talking about. It was super annoying and made it hard to concentrate on math when all I could think about was how many times in one sentence he could make that noise and if he ever realized he was doing it. Well, approximately four years later, I am encountering the same situation and am no better prepared to deal with it.
So, last week, not only did I decide to count how many times he said those three lovely words, I also drew a picture about it:
Side note: This is also an evening class so I will likely be doing most of my drawings during those three hours of Business Law in order to avoid the classic head-bob scenario associated with falling asleep in class.
