Dr. Greenlaws ECON 300

So I guess it’s that time of year when everyone posts what they learned in this class and how this class taught them valuable life lessons and all that other Hallmark meets Disney silliness. I am not going to do that. Sure, this class did teach me some valuable things: the odd hallucinations that happen when you are working at three in the morning; how to celebrate thanksgiving and write a paper at the same time; and that alcohol is more dangerous when you aren’t drinking it then when you are (because all you are doing is thinking about drinking it and how it will make the paper go away). Oh, and sure there were the valuable life lessons like time management, avoiding procrastination, perseverance, and other stuff that were available for learning as well. But, as the great Captain Jack Sparrow once said:

Elizabeth Swann: There will come a time when you have a chance to show it… to do the right thing.
Jack Sparrow: I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by.

And I guess one could say that’s how I went through this course and have gone through my life. And I’m pretty sure that philosophy will be present when I get my final grade that more resembles a winter temperature in Greenland than an actual grade. But I enjoyed this course, damnit.

From Carl’s laugh, to Erin’s overwhelming perfection in every single assignment, to Sims and Will making me feel like I was actually gonna pass. Oh, and who could forget Dr. Greenlaw calling me out every fifteen minutes just to remind me that I am on the Van Wilder-seven-year plan.

It was all fun though and I hope all you of have the best of breaks. Enjoy a cold one on me. (Margaret, maybe you can go for keg stand number 2 this break. Just a thought.)

And I’m out.
