It makes me really - i dunno - frustrated at many of my peers - we are in class - VTPB 221 - Great Diseases of the World - and our professor - Dr. Tizard - (who has a tight Scottish accent by the way) is sharing with us his passion - and i understand that Malaria and The Plague and Syphilis might not be the most interesting thing in the world -but at the end - he asks "any questions?" and as soon as he pauses before that query - everyone knows its time to go - and no one looks up - no one asks a question - everyone gets their crap together and thinks about what they need to do next - and i feel sorry for our professor - he is sharing his passion with us - so after he pauses a few awkward seconds - everyone gets up and leaves - and he nods his head and walks back to his desk -

i dunno - maybe i'm being to empathetic a/b this - he is a prof. and he gets paid to teach

anyhow - i went up to him and introduced myself and said that i was appreciative of him sharing with us - especially allowing Poli Sci majors into such a class - the interesting subjects in the class

maybe i'm being retarded - but then again - its all about the people
