It has been several months since joining the college
community and the ‘sophisticated’ world of these creatures. Never once did I
imagine that there would be studious persona as crazy as myself, let alone
PROFESSORS who speak gibberish. Like real deal baby gibberish too!! Some of
this madness I am depicting to you first came to light early last semester when
waiting for a class too early. A teacher of Indian decent was clapping his hands
to a steady beat and chanting something a monkey might yell in the jungle. To
my amazement, he had a rather large portion of his class partaking as well.
This became a regular occurrence as I showed up for my nine am science class.
It seemed that the craziness would not spread much further than this unknown
teacher, that is until he became my professor this semester.
Although
the semester started a good week prior to this encounter, the teacher in
question had remained in Dubai after the break had ended. Thus, his identity
remained a mystery other than his origin of ethnicity. This afternoon, once
arrived; the professor did not have an accent from the Asian countries, rather
he had a thick Italian one. He also went on the dismiss half the class because they
did not need to take such a ‘difficult’ class before recounting to the other
half that he is a very unorthodox teacher and demands every student leave the
class with a smile if not laughing. He had spent a few years in a laughter club
which had proven to him that starting the day out will a hearty laugh reduced
stress, exercised the vocal cords, and many other beneficial occurrences to the
health. He has spent his years since making his students laugh, telling jokes,
breaking out in gibberish; anything he can to brighten the spirits of a few who
will brighten the futures of many.
