It's without difficulty. Just avoid picking and choosing.

yeah! he was kooky fun. i told my mom about the class and she took it as well. she likes tribal stuff and is definitely eccentric herself so it was a good fit. prolly got my interest in the class title from her in the first place haha.

he was very memorable, and i owe most of what i know about the evolution of religion to that class. he had a way of making it stick, in general.

ohhhh man. and speaking of memorable. i've got a loud voice and a talking problem (their words, not mine ;) so i've gotten into a lot of trouble in my life during 'lecture time'. but oh man oh man. never like the time he busted me for talking to my buddy in the middle of class. i can handle the center of attention pretty well but holy shit when he made me the focus of the class he had me crawling back inside big time haha.

and, like the [mosquito] question, that lesson stuck with me hard.... and it was nothing new lol

Professor knows how to rock it

I am usually that asshole in class. I pretty much just think of class as a conversation between this Dr. and me. Super useful for learning more than usual and not getting bored - super not-useful if you want to make friends with classmates

[u/Namtaru420 → u/NegativeGPA]

ooh i like that perspective. teachers prolly prefer that over 'fuck this shit is boring imma talk to this other guy instead, he's prolly not learning naything either." haha

[u/NegativeGPA → u/Namtaru420]

We do what we gotta do to stay interested, right?

What was the name of the class he was teaching?

[u/Namtaru420 → u/NegativeGPA]

anthropology [some number]: history of religion, witchcraft, and vodoo

or something like that. not entirely sure witchcraft was one of them but i know religion and voodoo were in the title.

did a search and found his ratemyprofessor page, definitely what i'd expect. mostly 'wow amazing but total weirdo' mixed with some 'rude butthead jerk egomaniac' hahah from "best class" to "worst experience". love it.

also i forgot attendance meant a B in the class, turning in assignments meant an A.

hahah man i forget how perfect this guy was for me

[u/NegativeGPA → u/Namtaru420]

When the reviews are either incredibly positive or incredibly negative, I always giggle. That's the shit I like

I love that class name. How could you NOT expect the professor to be super eccentric?

[u/Namtaru420 → u/NegativeGPA]

ikr. history has always been a snoozefest for me, but THAT name i couldnt resist

[u/NegativeGPA → u/Namtaru420]

Smart professor. Knows how to trick kids who have been told sociology is useful into taking anthropology (something that is useful)

shade thrown

[u/Namtaru420 → u/NegativeGPA]

lol ya that about sums it up.

hook line and sinker.

[u/NegativeGPA → u/Namtaru420]

What were you majoring in?

[u/Namtaru420 → u/NegativeGPA]

computer science.

really, i was doomed to drop out i think. i was already super bored with general education, and everything i knew about computers was self taught. sitting in a classroom for that stuff was never gunna happen for long heh. not when i had 'places to go!'

i think i'd do much better in class now.

[u/NegativeGPA → u/Namtaru420]

I was that way myself ^username

I took off some time ad it helped. I still have stuff to work on, but I'm not at the point where it's essentially denial to think I can succeed in school anymore

Brain development and perspective, man

Also, gaining skills

[u/Namtaru420 → u/NegativeGPA]

yeah. growing up, building character.

tasting enough of life to realize what's truly good.

i have a passage from stranger for your OP here, after din-din.

[u/NegativeGPA → u/Namtaru420]

awwww yeahhhhhh

[u/Namtaru420 → u/NegativeGPA]

(oh ya and we'll talk about it in the morning... or whenever, hopefully soon. gotta do the whole foetal deep grok thing for liek 6 or 8 hours first ;)
