So the class is going to be awesome. We don't just talk about what the books say, oh no. And we don't have strict and serious discussions, oh no. An example of today:
We're discussing socio-linguistic anthropolgy, which is basically the study of how humans use language depending on the context of the situation. Like how you speak differently to a professor or person of eminence than the way you speak to a good friend or significant other. And he said it also applied to the way you dressed. The conversation went something like this:
PROF. LASS: During the winter, I get tired of seeing people come to class dressed in sweatpants and sweaters that are more like bathrobes.
CLASS: -slightly guilty laughter-
PROF. LASS: But the same student, in May, will be walking around the campus with stilettos, a skirt... And it's spring, so my hormones are working, and I'm like, "Heyyy, how are you doing? Are you taking my class in Anthropology? Where are you going?" -slightly creepy smile-
ENTIRE CLASS: O.o
PROF. LASS: And then it turns out she's going to an interview with JP Morgan. -disappointed look-
Also, Cosmétique de l'ennemi features a man who says the Devil made him eat cat food. I think he's a little wrong in the head.
