Oh, man, I think I love my Western Civ professor.

Random Classmate: "How long do you want the answers to be on the test?"
Professor: "About eight minutes."
My Classmates: ". . ."
Me: *spends rest of class fighting off intermittent gigglefits*

And he spent the rest of class answering the question without in any way offering helpful information. He's kind of amazing like that. He can be really exasperating, but he does love the subject and he's pretty funny sometimes. I mean, on purpose.

I just wish I didn't constantly have the feeling in that class like we're missing the most important stuff that really ties everything together, but I can probably only expect so much from a 100-level Western Civ class. I'm only taking it because it's a prereq for the French Revolution and Napoleon class I really want to take, anyway.

(Which: I know this is in no way a news bulletin to anyone who has previously managed to take a halfway decent world history class, but I have not done that until now, so - French history is FUCKED UP. How that country even still exists is frankly beyond me right now. Holy crap.)

RP meme! Swiped from varadia:

Give me a character and I will give you at least three facts about them according to my own personal canon. This can range from their birthday, favorite color or even their earliest memory up to what they had last night for dinner.
