Because something happened during class this afternoon that was well worth sharing, I think.
There was a bit of a bother today, because neither the mouse nor the keyboard of the computer in the lecture room was working, and the mouse that got borrowed so that the lecture could continue turned out to not want to connect either, so the teaching assistant loaned her computer, but that didn’t have the huge HDMI port, so we were stuck. Oh well.
But when the professor was wrapping up his lecture by asking us to fill out our course evaluations (yes! It is that time of year again! Bah!), the TA squeaked. Or squawked. Or shrieked? I think it may have been a combination of the three… anyway, we asked her what was wrong. And she said, “There’s a mouse!” And the professor (not THE professor, sorry, my professor, who is a doctor of journalism studies I think?) said, “Of course there’s a mouse–it’s right here!” Of course, all of us students cracked up at that. It took the doctor to realize we meant a rodent mouse, not a computer mouse.
There are fun moments to be had in college after all, right?
The Upstairs Archives 
There were so many moments like that (not with live animals) in the microbiology class I took this semester.
X-D I wish there were more moments like that in all my classes. Though the history class has been pretty fun. (I have been strongly tempted to take a replica Captain America shield to that class with me, just to see everyone’s reactions during our battle reenactments! 😛
You should do it!!
I don’t know how to get one, though 😦 Maybe I can make one…?
I know Hot Topic in the local mall here has them.
Hot Topic?
Haha, that’s hilarious! 😀
It was. X-D It took us so long to stop laughing! X-D
Wait… there was a real live mouse in your college class?!
That is way more awesome then what happened to me today…
Well, it WAS the basement. And I’d imagine there’d be mice there, just like any other old building.
That’s kind of awesome. xD Though I feel a bit sorry for the TA- I would’ve shrieked too.
It is! Hooray for teachers!!! 😀 So would I… I think. I’m not sure. It was pretty funny… One time there was a spider in the lecture room, and one of the girls squawked and jumped over the seats into the next row. X-P
The sad part is that the College of Communications, Fine Arts and Media and College of Arts and Sciences get these annoying dinky little seats with tiny little desks with barely enough room for a notebook. 😦 While the College of Political Science and Community Service students get these nice long tables with a lot of room. This is ridickerous.
Wow. xD I don’t like spiders, but I don’t think I’d go that far . . .
Seriously? That stinks. 😛
X-P
I know everywhere’s on a budget, but just for once can’t we other students PLEASE get the nice seats? @_@
Yeah…
Aha! I did keep thinking you were talking about me…I’m still trying to decide if a professor can be a girl, or a girl can be a professor.
I mean, it’s a possibility.
I suppose it is, but it isn’t likely.
I think a professor can be a girl. That doesn’t, however, mean that a girl can be a professor, necessarily. 😛
True. It’s one of those dadblame logic schemes. *bangs head on desk*
Yeah. Logic is an odd thing, as is connotation.
Definitely. They should be banned.
Mmm… I don’t know. I suppose it can be useful, sometimes.
