Writing Class
So here at The Ohio State University I'm required to take another writing class in order to graduate. I've choose Art Education 367, Ethnic Arts: A Means of Intercultural Communication simply because it fulfills other GECs too. I'm not sure that I'm going to be able to take the instructor too seriously though. She pronounces the word library like LIE-BERRY. Would I found really odd though was that she kept referring us that we should be very careful that we don't PLAY-GA-RISE anything. It took me a couple of seconds to realize that she was referring to plagiarising things. It was just one of those odd things.

I also could not take anyone seriously who cannot pronounce library. I also couldn't take my seminary teacher seriously when she couldn't pronounce Esther.
My most unusual story involving a teacher is that she slipped on my bookbag and twisted her ankle really bad, which sent her into premature labor and had her out the rest of the semester. The rest of the semester we had one of the other student's dad substitute. Bad idea. Actually, it seems that I have had a lot of teachers get ill when they are teaching my class. Let's see... Brain Tumor, Appendicitis, really bad Flu, etc.
By the way, I never learned Euchre from you... my loss, I guess the internet will have to teach me. I laughed at the comment on my blog. I can't take the credit though, xckd.com is my daily dose of mirth that occasionally gets an audible chuckle or even rolling on the floor, depending on how early in the morning it is.
miss you, art!
pronouncing library doesn't need to be that hard . . . i agree . . .
I once had an English teacher who pronounced 'sentence' sen-N-se and 'across' a-crosst
Although, I bet if your English prof read this, she would probably hate you (and saying 'don't hate me' probably wouldn't help).....
Yes, I am at the U of M, in Ann Arbor. You should come up and pay us a visit, meet my son, and meet my soon to come daughter.
