Day 137

Story of my life: I brought home all my nice clothes because they were just sitting in my closet taking up space. I get an email saying that I'm invited to an event because I won a scholarship through my department. What do I have the wear? BUSINESS CASUAL.

But now on to something love-related. Um... Well, my professors are really cool this term. With Sam being out of touch and it being Dead Week, there hasn't been really anything to be excited or passionate about. It's just school school school sleep Imgur school. So for me, going to class is actually a break from essay writing and memorizing and studying and since my professors are awesome this term, classes have been pretty fun. 

For example, in my Comparative Literature class today, we watched a Matt and Kim video, and if you've been reading my blog, you know I loooooove Matt and Kim. Here's the video (somewhat NSFW):

Also, I'm meeting with one of my favorite professors today, Professor Unno. He was my College Connections professor for my FIG, my Religion 101 professor and the professor that I'm working with when I'm a FIG Assistant. There's a reason I wanted to be assigned to his FIG. He's an absolutely awesome lecturer, hilarious and easy to work with. 

I loved a lot of my high school teachers but in college, there's a level of respect that wasn't there in high school. It goes both ways. I have an insane amount of respect for my professors, especially the ones whose classes I like, and professors respect students a lot more here than they do in high school. Even though they have degrees and have been studying their field for years, they don't act superior to students, at least in my experience so far. It's kind of hard to describe, but professor-student dynamics are a lot more personal and professional at the same time. 

For anyone that goes to U of O, I highly, highly recommend Professor Unno (religious studies), Professor Allan (Comp. Lit) and Professor Karim (anthropology).
