Let’s talk about my English class, shall we? Titled “English and Literary Genres” I was expecting books from all literary genres like horror, non-fiction, fantasy, mystery, etc.

Maybe it was just me.

So far, all of our books have been about…Christianity. The first few were like that, but I kept saying to myself “Maybe it is just this unit…”

I WAS WRONG.

So far we have read two books, four plays and about a dozen or so poems. Now, this third book - it is about Christianity as well.

It was alright at first, but now every class I go to I feel like she is going to yell out something like “PRAISE JESUS!” at random times.

You wouldn’t want to go it either.

However it’s college, and as I found out my freshman year when an instructor yelled out “SHIT” and no one ran screaming from the room or said “Ooooooooooooooooooooo” like in High School, I’ve also found out that instructors can literally do whatever they want in their classroom and make up the entire syllabus.

Coming from an entirely public-school background, I’ve never had a Religion Class or anything of the sort, so this is definitely a new experience.

More annoying than anything when during every class she says something to the effect of, “And what does the wooden cross mean in this story class?”. Everyone just stares at her stupidly until the Christian girl in the back pipes up in a small voice: “Ummmm…chocolate candy?”

Not really - but that is the answer that I wish she would give. BUT WE ALL KNOW THE ANSWER ALREADY.

Help me.

1. Not only can you fry and egg in my car these past few days, but you can also boil water in order to make macaroni and cheese and bake a cookies or a pizza.

2. My classes are easy and I have too much time on my hands.

3. It takes approximately 15-20 minutes to walk to campus from my apartment - one way. I can cut it down to 10 minutes if I walk fast and take a few shortcuts, including cutting through a fraternity’s backyard and jumping over their fence.

4. I have the whole walking-to-campus journey down to a science - I know exactly which path to take to get me the most downhill time, but unfortunately that path is longer, and I know which path will have the most shade during the daytime. I also know that if I take the shortcut in order to get to class in 10 minutes, that path is mostly uphill.

5. The air conditioning in the apartment SUCKS, so I’ve taken the liberty of fixing it by using a pair of pliers, a blow-torch and a baseball bat.

6. Unpacking in a hot bedroom sucks, as does sleeping in a hot bedroom.

7. I WISH IT WAS WINTER!
