Who is you callin' a Bitch?
Professor Brony I'll call him. Is the coolest professor in the psychology department but I never knew why. I just heard people talking about how entertaining he was, I took him on a confusing online class, but I couldn't tell him personality from the responses to people who were putting him down for having an online class that requires some physical contact. I knew I wanted to take him in person before I left this so I decided I would drive a half hour across town to take his off campus class. The Psych department knew people would drive across town for him.
Let's talk about his teaching style. I want to say he's in his late 60's but absolutely insane. One time this accidentally said something about him being old and he pauses and says..."Thank you. 21 year old Bitch." OOp. Umm. Wow. The thing is he says it with a smile on his face and we all forget about it two seconds later. He says what he wants, when he wants and it usually applies to the study. He keeps mentioning this girl named Sue Clark that he had a crush on in when he was a kid, and how he wanted to touch her breast. This was an example used to decribe how sometimes you may have strong feelings for a person because of the stage of life your mind was developing. Moving on.
We had an activity today. We collected data to compare dominant and nondonimant handed performance. We were randomly chosen to stand up in front of the class and throw a ball into a garbage can. I was chosen first.
"That's what you get for sitting in isolation." He says.
Ok, I always sit on the desk on the side because...because I don't know. To be different, and he always calls me out on it. "I want to be alone!" He mocks. But moving on.
"I knew you were going to say that." I said. So I was in the group that got to use their dominant hand to throw the ball in the can. So before I throw he says
"Ok, we need to pick a spot to throw the ball. And if she passes that spot we attach electrodes to her genitals that won't make her cross the line. But she might like that so we have to find a new method." that's what he said. As usually, the class bursted out in laughter like....I can't believe...umm, what?
"Why did I do that?" He asks the class.
"So the participant can relax?" Someone says. I'm still laughing.
"Very good." He says.
So before I leave the ball leaves my hands to make my first shot he says in my ear.
"Your going to miss Bitch!" I'm appalled. I pretend I'm about to him with the ball and he ducks and scurries away. I made 5/10 shots.
And when I sat down to watch other people throw balls,I thought about it and it seems like...you can say whatever you want, it just depends on how you say it.
