Undergrads
Quotes from a student at the table next to me regarding teacher evaluations online:
1) I hoped my professor would choke on his turtleneck during lunch (in order to not show up for her 1pm class).
2) The TA is one sexy motherf**ker.
3) A jean jacket with jeans - what are you thinking?
Mmm, so maybe she missed the point that these evaluations are suppose to allow future students to read good and bad things about the prof and additionally is (in theory) a way for profs to improve his or her teaching.
On the upside, after a few of these quotes, it became clear that the other eleven (loud) students thought she was an idiot. One even asked, "How old are you?". However, they quickly regressed to talking about the acting level in Grey's Anatomy and people on the Facebook. Oh, and now they have moved on to Christmas gifts (they think they will be receiving).
Oooh, I am further impressed (and surprised) by one member of the group. A girl at the table did not bus her tray to the trash when she left. One of the last two students at the table picked it up and bussed it while complaining that he "hates people that do that"! Wow.
I am feeling a little old. Aside from never, never having a conversation about Facebook with my friends, I would also have guessed these kids to be seniors in high school or maybe college freshmen. It is apparent through the convo that they are, in fact, at least juniors.
I think I am going to have to plan a small ceremony in February to mourn the passing of my twenties when it happens.
