The Daily Chit-Chat

I hope never to have a teacher who can't speak fluent English. D:

I had a Spanish teacher whose Second language was English. She was pretty good at English, but she had a lot of interesting expressions, like, "Piece o' papa" (potato) or, "Don't get lost in the forest!" (said when we were going to the bathroom...) She ws pretty funny. :D

I wish I had a teacher with catchphrases. ;_;

I hope you get one; they are are awesome. ^__^ I had a couple other teachers with catchphrases in high school. XD

Then stay far, far away from anything math-, finance-, or computer- related in college.

And I had a professor whose catchphrase amounted to him yelling "SHUT UP!" at the beginning of nearly every class. He would also say "Another one bites the dust" whenever something like a calculator or cell phone fell on the floor. And of course "Remind me to tell you about the one time I set the lab on fire." Funny guy.

But I like math, finance and computer related things. D:

Sadly, so do all the foreign professors :/ During the first couple years, you can usually avoid them by choosing the classes taught by professors who don't have foreign sounding names, but as you go up in grade you start to run into classes where the foreign guy is the ONLY guy who teaches a class you need to take to graduate...

^ True.

I am hoping to major in finance or computer science, two very different professions, but I like both of them. I heard finance is pretty hard, though.

Before I took a year off from school, I was a Writing/X-Ray Technician major. I'm going back in the spring though so I can finish up my agree.

I've been lucky and not had any instructors who spoke English as a second language or with a thick accent. ^-^;;

I've met fellow students with very thick accents or who weren't native speakers, but listening closely helps you understand them. ^-^

My worst instructor was my Linux Admin 1 instructor, who didn't even bother going over everything before throwing you into the fire. Dx

 

[Martins]

Yeah, I'll see at the end of my year now. Most probably finance.

What do you guys do or want to do when you enter college?

I'm currently in schooling for computer networking. A lot of my peers at my school my first two semesters didn't even have a basic understanding of computer hardware, which made me wonder why the heck they were even going for a computer networking degree when they didn't even know the hardware they were working with, and couldn't troubleshoot basic connectivity issues such as a cable being unplugged. Dx

My french professor is from Senegal, and still has a thick french accent, coupled with his very deep voice. Everyday when he walks into the classroom, he bellows "PEOPLE" AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS.

That sounds awesome. ^__^ The teachers I had in high school that had catchphrases were both friends, and they had opposite phrases. My chemistry teacher would constantly say things like "Helium only has two protons, so it is the lightest element, right? ... WRONG!!!!" everyday/ His friend, my math/physics teacher, did the opposite, and would constantly go "Since the distance increased, for the rate to stay the same, the time would have to decrease, right? Right? Huh, right? Right?" Most of my friends laughed at how they had opposite sayings. XD :D

That's something I ran into too before I had decided to come back home and take college courses at the county college. At my prior university, all students were required to take technology courses, and the majority of the students who were in my technology class had no knowledge of the computer. I sat there in disbelief on the first day as the instructor went through nearly the entire class asking them what the difference between Windows Vista, Microsoft Office, and Microsoft Word. The chilling reality of it is that the ones who did know were freshmen. There were two of us. The rest of the class was full of juniors and seniors.

I'm doing a Master's program in finance and I'm looking to graduate at the end of this semester. My professors for my last two classes have been from China, BTW.

 

[Captain Hobo.]

Lol are they funny to hear talk XD.

 

[A Pixy]

I haven't thought of my post-secondary education yet. :/

 

[Charizard★]

I'm either going to major in zoology or in the medical field. I'm not quite sure yet.
