My "History of Graphic Design" prof is....hot. It could just be my eyes and how I see her from the back of the classroom, as I remember her conversing with me once, close-up, and she had makeup on and looked slightly older. But...she is beautiful overall. (And no, I don't have any pictures). The boys in the class obviously know this too, and can't seem to hold back anymore (no surprise there), as everyone becomes more comfortable with each other.
Today, as we were supposed to be listening to her reading notes off of an overhead presentation, a group of students kept talking amongst themselves. She finally said, "Would you like to do the lecture?", and one of them agreed to. He's one of the more boisterous students in the class, and, to be fair, I don't think he took her on her offer just because she's good-looking. He doesn't seem to care about her attractiveness as much as some of the other boys do, at least outwardly; is restless, prefers attention, and frequently speaks out-loud.
After he finished reading one of the overhead presentations at the front of the classroom, the professor went up to open up the next one. As she was clicking through files on the computer, she said, "Do you want me to help you get it up?"
The whole class burst out laughing. I was laughing too, but people usually can't hear my laughter. Maybe what I did was not any better, but it's still very awkward and there seems to be something wrong with the entire situation. The professor eventually asked what we were all laughing at, and no one said anything. She said she would find out. She has a great sense of humour, but telling her would've been inappropriate, as if she didn't realize what she had inadvertently said anyway.
I remember one time: the head of our program sent every student an email about how to converse with professors. He basically stated that we should be speaking to them in a professional manner. I, for one, always speak to a professor in that way, but I suppose things have changed slightly to resemble the way people speak on the Internet.
In other news, here comes my first attempt at writing some XML. If it doesn't validate and it takes me more than a few hours to figure out what is wrong, I may have to ask someone here for help.
