Day 1: Wow. Ok, so this dude is loud. Why is he talking so fast? Do I come across that way?
Oh, I heard he was Jewish too..I pictured him differently, I shouldn’t have. Stop stereotyping, you know better.
Why are his pants so tight? Stop staring, it’s weird.
Oh crap, he’s going to take roll. Please, please remember my email; please, don’t mess this up. I’m sorry for making fun of you in my head right now, just get the preferred name right. Please. I’m the transguy in the class. (Will save this for another post; short answer, yes, I’m trans, ftm and transitioning)
Phew, he got it. Rock star! You sir, are a rock star. Thank you. I hope I don’t look as nervous as I feel right now.
Why is he talking so fast? He’s so loud. Slooow down, the room won’t spontaneously combust, just chill, we have a whole semester.
Later….
Wow, he knows a lot. I wish he would turn the volume down, man. I mean, does he think we couldn’t hear him at any other volume? Shhhh, dude, please, it’s a mere 8am.
Later on…
Soo..bro, I hear you went to Harvard at one point? Damn, I must say, I have mad respect for you if I didn’t already. Why are you talking so loud? Shhh….
Weeks passed and…
He always wears those pants. Stop staring, seriously. Anything, anything, think Hebrew, Latin, Hebrew, Spanish. אני עייף, lassus sum, estoy cansado…estoy cansado, lassus sum, אני עייף, I am tired. Ugh, why was he born with that? I mean, don’t you know there’s a Tguy in the room? So stop wearing your pants damned tight.
Almost a semester ago..
Geez, this class, dude, just stop talking. We’re not really listening. There’s a few of us who count how many times you say the phrase, “in and of itself..” I wonder if I do that? Do we all do that? I’m betting coin on this, say it one more time – yes!
Bro, chill, Rousseau, blah blah, we know. Yes, Judaism, I know – there’s a personal tie I often deny..Christianity, yes, man, I went to a Christian college for my first 2 years; he talks so much, stop talking dude.
It’s no wonder I’m a bit lost.
Caleb's domain, or something..you know, like it.
