Where is Art?

Does anyone else miss Art. I was excited to have this class with him. He seems like a bright individual. I don't know what happend to him, but I don't see him anymore and thats really sad. I wish the best for him and I hope things work out with him going to school.

garbage man

One of my favorite exercises was when we had to imagine ourselves in someone's garbage can... who thinks about that...ever.
It was weird to place myself in a garbage can, but once I did I really got a sense of it. I was a garbage man for a summer so I can really can picture some sick stuff. A typical garbage consisted of coffee grounds...pounds of used coffee grounds!.. thats a good song title.

What a good student I am...

I'm going to be honest. I didn't know we were supposed to be blogging this entire time...I thought it was only for assignments. Well you are going to see like 3 posts every day from now on.

On the note that I am apparently not paying attention enough; this is probably the only class this semester that I actually enjoy gettting up and going to. And thats thanks to everyone. Because I feel we all connect once we get into our donut shape. . . I want a donut.

over and over, again and again

So this may be non schoolastic or whatever, but it makes me feel like an observer. I have been tallying up phrases overused by my instructors. Only two of my instructors actually. I won't say who they are, but if you have them as a teacher you may be able to figure out who they are.

anonymous teacher #1: used the phrase "shall we say" 31 times in one class period. Don't you notice that?

anonymous teacher #2: uses the following phrases at least 4 times a piece EACH CLASS:
"the other aspect of this is..."
"this is what were dealing with HERE"
"this is what were talking about HERE"
"the fact of the matter is..."
"go ahead and..."


I can't concentrate in these classes!!
