Who am I kidding? I could only stay away from blogging for so long before someone new annoyed me to the point of wanting to write all about how awful they are.
Welcome to my Criminal Law class.
I thought at the beginning of the semester that of my course load, this would be my favorite. The books required for the class made it look like a challenge, and I was way excited about it. On the first day of class, we were supposed to go around the room and say what our major was and what we wanted to do as a career after graduation. Everyone in the class said “cop” or “paralegal” or “court reporter.” It was like a bad daytime television ad for a “college” that doesn’t require a high school diploma. This was foreshadowing for the rest of the semester. This might be the stupidest group of people I have ever met.
Let’s start with the guy we’ll call ball cap.
He must live with his parents (not that that’s a bad thing- I live with mine) because he keeps talking about his garage and how big his house is. Now he’s sitting at the front of the room discussing how his father almost “shot (President) Bush through the TV last night.” Classy. He’s barely old enough to vote, but boy does he have his opinions. Now he’s discussing how he can’t get a roof rack on his new truck (by the way, Ford Rangers don’t count) because it won’t fit in the garage. There’s more but I won’t subject anyone to it.
Then there’s Luby’s girl.
I haven’t quite figured out how old she is yet, but today she didn’t wear any makeup and she looks about 50, but I’d guess 40s. I’m not sure what kind of glasses she wears but they make her eyes look HUGE. And this just adds to my fun. She had the gall to argue with our professor about how she thinks raising your hand to speak is stupid (which it is, but I wouldn’t argue that point with a seasoned lawyer). She also made it known to the class that her stepmother left her in a Luby’s once and she felt like she was raised as an orphan. Now she’s making “suggestions” about our test review and everyone is laughing at her. It’s pretty great because she makes the other stupid people look smart.
I’ll be back.
