They Don't Even Eat Fish?
Ever wondered how you make a frozen Pop-tart without a freezer? Well, just in case you have, let me tell you. You grab a Pop-tart on your way out to your nine a.m. Saturday morning history class when it's snowing and windy. You begin to eat it and, by the time you're five minutes out, you will have a frozen Pop-tart and a hand that has no feeling left.
Of course, a professor who uses a very accurate and hilarious rendition of Coolidge's voice helps to make the frozen morning that much more bearable. It may be utterly insane to have a Saturday morning class, but I still love it. Is it just me or do all old, male professors have the same basic look around them? No wait... there are two types. There are the Aldersons and there are the Haynes. Let me elaborate:
Aldersons: The Aldersons are the liberal old professors who have no problem informing you of whatever comes across their mind, from the wars that happened way back when to their stance on vegans. They are amusing, they are adorable, and they are the sort of professor who make class worth going to because you just know that you're going to learn something worthwhile when you're there. This name is based off of the name of my Introduction to Political Science professor, James Alderson. He was, undoubtedly, my favorite professor, although Stenkamp here looks to be vying for that position.
Haynes: The Haynes are, pretty much essentially, the exact opposite of the Aldersons. The are the conservative old professors who, while they will also talk at you about everything, take the conservative stance all of the way. Their preferred subjects deal with the most controversial subjects ever, or the most boring, and they also tend to like assigning you "busy work" so that you have no free time to go out and enjoy yourself without worrying about that assignment you need to get done. They have their good points, they can be funny, but most of the time they bore you to tears. These professors can be Republican or Democrat, but they're conservative altogether. The name is from my State and Local Government professor, David Haynes. Ugh.
So yes, all of you in university, you have had Aldersons and Haynes if not by those names, male or female, Democrat or Republican or nothing. They are fun and boring in turn, and there should be more Aldersons. They also give you five-minute breaks every hour during which they speak, to anyone still in the room, about random things like vegans.
