In Class

I am teaching assistant for a class called "Theories of Myth". It's fascinating stuff to me so even though I'm not required to attend class, I still do. I'd even say it's my favorite class right now. Anyway, the students aren't aware that I'm the TA because all I really do is mark exams so to them, I look like just another student. This is fine with me.
Sitting in my usual spot in the back of the room, I get to observe a lot. The other day, I was fascinated by what one gentleman was doing on his computer. First, I should point out that his desktop is a picture of a barbell, you know, the big weightlifting kind. He spends a great deal of time on Facebook, most frequently he seems to be perusing the profile of girls. But today he out-did himself. I looked down at his screen and saw him looking up the lyrics to Jay-Z's "H to the Izzo". Good choice, sir, good choice.
