Why I love Art School: Reason # 785
I'm still bad at updating, but I think it's b/c I'm always busy. I don't understand how kids in college can ever say that they're bored, there is always hw or something to do. It sux b/c I haven't really been calling people like I need to. I know I need to call Gel, Doria, and Pig and even Mo, I haven't talked to him since like my 1st week here. The only person I've really kept in touch with is Josh.
Anyway the point of this particular entry (I'm going to right two) really is to tell about how CRAZY my English teacher is. We have our 1st paper coming up, so last week my English teacher decided to go over grammar stuff. On Monday she was going over commas, and on her desk she had bananas, plastic wrap, and a mallet set up. Ok so the 1st sentence she had up on the board was "While he shaved his roommate made coffee." So she told us that a comma was needed in between "shaved" and "his" so it doesn't seem like they guy was shaving his roommate, basically so the semantics don't "leak"
Now to demonstrate the semantics not leaking, she took two of the bananas (each representing on side of the sentence), wrapped each one up in plastic wrap, then proceeded to BEAT THE BANANAS WITH A MALLET ON HER DESK! We were all like wtf??!?!?!?!?! It was soooo funny, all the boys were cringing lol. After she was done beating the hell out of the bananas with the mallet, she was like "See, the semantics didn't leak! Now commas are like protection, and you must use protection." She continued to do this demonstration every time a comma rule came up. And her reason for using plastic wrap instead of buying condoms was "Well, I didn't want people to think that I was some crazy Asian lady walking around the store with a whole bunch of colorful condoms." LOL I swear this lady is nuts!
And we also came up with some dialogue too:
"Jimmy, I didn't know you cared so much about me," Steve said tenderly.
"Obviously, there are a lot of thing you don't know about me, Steve," Jimmy whispered with passion.
Oh and for the record, the dialogue got a lot worse, and we had this written on the chalkboard. During the lesson she also said that the word "and" gets around, so basically calling "and" the conjunction whore.
I thought I'd just share that with you. So how are your English classes going?
