Adventures in teaching

I was teaching my class as usual today, when I looked down at the floor and saw a huge mouse scampering across the front of the class. I have to say, normally while I teach very little phases me, but this mouse freaked me right out. According to my students, I stopped dead in my sentence, squeaked, and stared at the floor. The thing was massive! It was about 3/4s the size of my computer mouse and for the fuzzy kind, that is pretty damn big. As soon as my students saw what I was staring out, about 6 of them started to try and catch the mouse, while I squealed at the front of the class. It was a circus in there for 5 minutes. Once the mouse escaped, I got them back in their seats and continued, albeit a bit shaken. I can't believe how much of a girl I was about the whole thing.

Now to do this to my students...



Okay, soon it will be done right back to me on my thesis, so I should try and be nice.

Public Nakedness

No, not me. Sheesh you guys.

So last night, after a night of beer and fun at one of our favourite establishments, we stuck around after close for an additional drink with the staff. Behind us was another table of regulars who were allowed the after hours privilage as well. We were chatting and having a good time when we hear this roar of cheers from behind us. It turns out some guy decided that he was going to strip in the middle of the place and there he was standing in his birthday suit. Apparently the guy decided to do it because it "just seemed like fun at the time." It took me a minute to realize that yes he was indeed naked. He just stood there with his pants around his ankles for about 5 minutes bantering back and forth with his table of friends before deciding that clothes might again be a good idea. And to think, I was going to go to the Drag Show at Louis' instead.
