Nothingness

Last week, PILF (public interest...) told us that we could pay off our professors not to call on us today, the day after the Contracts exam. How this works: you pay $2 per any class you don't want to get called on and get your name on a list that is given to the prof. The money is for a good cause (children's charity). So I paid off Civ Pro. Today, 1st class is civ pro & prof tells us he has the list so if he calls on you, just say you've paid and he'll move on.

So a few people got called on, "I've paid," they said. The other cheap students who didn't fork out the money got center stage. Then he asked a question that no one had a clue & after a few "NO!" "NO!" "NO's!", I got called on to answer the question.....so in a split second I wonder should I say I'm on the list or should I hazard a guess? I hazarded a guess and I was right!

At the end of class, the prof is sorta glancing at the list and he says, "I don't think people got their money's worth. I'll let the people who're on the list, off again tomorrow." I knew he had a heart somewhere....deep...deep down in the abyss. But tomorrow, if he calls on me, "I paid" will be yelled out really loud. I had my little moment of glory and that's enough.

Today was the school's Thanksgiving lunch. We had to pay $3 or bring 3 canned goods to be donated to the homeless. It was really nice - turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, green bean casserole, mac & cheese, tons of desserts, fruits, salads, drinks, etc.

Rented 2 movies to watch over the weekend. Mission Impossible 3 and Wedding Crashers. I went to blockbuster & out of the new releases, I had only watched 2! The last one I saw was Derailed at my sister's house last month. I was going to rent Me, You & Dupree also but I figured 2 movies with Owen Wilson is a little much. Not to worry though, I'll get caught up over christmas break.
