I was going to include this in my last post, but I had to get off the computer. Anyway, my Shakespeare class almost got cancelled because of low enrollment. There were only ten people enrolled, but four people showed up too add, so we had a total of fourteen students. We needed at least 18 students though, so everyone started calling all their friends and asking them if they’d like to take a Shakespeare class. As you can guess, most people weren’t interested in taking a Shakespeare course, even after my classmates lied shamelessly about the class (I.e. “Reading? We barely have any.” and “The class is from 7:15 till 9:30.” when the class is really from 7-10). So then this guy stands in front of the classroom door and asks this random man passing by “Dear sir, would you be interested in taking a Shakespeare class?” He repeats this several times, which caused the people in our class to a) crack up or b) pretend we don’t know him (our professor is in this category ROFL). This other guy in my class decided to do the same thing and managed to find someone who would take the class if the professor guarantees to pass him or if we pay him twenty dollars. I don’t think he’ll be taking the class, but he was really sympathetic and funny. If he’d stayed, he would have been our class clown. Then another classmate says that she’s going to call her friend Chuckie. And then my professor says “Do we really want someone named Chuckie?” And then someone says “Chuckie’s an idiot. The guy can barely write his name.” The girl that says she’s going to call him responds with, “We just need someone to take up space so the class won’t get cancelled!” Haha. It was a funny night. We got all excited when the people adding the class came.
So anyway if any of you live near Santa Ana and want to take a class for fun, tell me. Anyway, I hope we have enough people D:
