University pet peeve No. 1
Aug. 18th, 2009 02:47 pmAnd with weather worn hands on bread lines they stand( RARGH IMPATIENT FRESHMEN )
Yet but one more degradation
And they're treated like tramps while we sell them food stamps
This thriving and prosperous nation
I've had a fun day actually. I seem to have lovely passionate lecturers with a sense of humour, and I'm confident I chose the right classes. Methodology continues to be fun, with the lecturer citing all sorts of censorhip and PC adjustments in the historical field, each time thunderously declaring "It's the Ministry of Truth, that's what it is!"
He also had us in stitches with this postcard from 1905:

"This postcard," he said, pointing to the projection in the lecture hall. "Depicts W.F. Christie (from the Norwegian constitution assembly of 1814) and Christian Michelsen (elected Prime Minister in 1905) on the sail of a viking ship. This postcard..." he paused for dramatic tension. "Makes no sense!"
