My Algorithm and Data Structures professor is so hecking funny 😂

He gave us a link to a playlist full of videos of him roasting projects of former students of his. Like, Gordon Ramsay style.

He told us not to worry too much about the people in the video because some of them became his TA’s. His TA’s 😂

It was all in good fun and it’s actually a pretty great tool in knowing what mistakes to avoid when we do our projects.

tfw your new online class on british phonetics is led by that cool, approximately 68-year-old Australian guy you once met several years ago as a fellow attendee in a lecture about gender neutral language where he told you about his drag persona called Susan that he had in the 70s... I love that guy.

Also apparently we’re perfecting our English pronunciation to become spies for the European Union behind the lines of the Republic of England, or whatever it will have turned into by then, as per his pre-recorded video. 

We shall stop being an adult, become a child unrestricted by language patterns and sentence structures, abandon our own desires, purposes and intentions, find someone “quintessentially English”, and imitate them.

Then he signed off and left us with a youtube video of Stephen Fry & Hugh Laurie as cricket commentators during third-tea-break having an orgasm about English things and Strawberries and cream.

my favorite prof: gets tenure

same prof: immediately starts campaigning for a new department to be made focusing on studying critical race theory(i'm not going to type the name of the actual department in case it pops up in google searches)

I really like professors who give you an alternative option for passing a course, so that you won’t have to sit in an exam, but rather you can write an essay instead or do some text discussion outside of the lecture time with other people.

So that you can see, that it is important for the professor that you form your own thoughts about a certain topic and not just studying for an exam where you will forget everything afterwards.

So I have the best professor, pretty much

Brad (the professor): *gives his general warning at the beginning to everyone who hadn't had him before about the fact that he is a giant asshole who also lowkey cares about us and wants to make us better but is still an asshole and we shouldn't forget it*

Me: *laughing the entire time because I know this, but I also know that he's great*

Brad: (at the end of the class) *walks up to where I'm sitting* So, did ya miss me?

Me: ...I mean kinda

Brad: (as I'm walking away) *shakes his head* Kinda... pfffft

Me: I mean, you ARE an asshole...

Brad: *laughing* Yeah... that's true. Good to have you again.

I was in line to pay a salad I bought from the school cafe. I got out my phone  to turn the volume up since I was not in class anymore. And a professor was next to me in line, and he saw my lock screen and asked me, “What singer do you have in your screen?” “Oh, it’s Taylor Swift”, I told him. “I have heard of her” he said, “But not her songs” “She writes great songs” “I bet she does, she is quite popular now” AND that was the highlight of my day, best monday.
