I finally found a café that meets the standards of what my blogger persona and Bon Iver listening self thinks it should be. Since I now have a Caramel Soy Macchiato with two shots of espresso in my hand I am much more satisfied with the day.
One of the classes that I had today was Critical Thinking and Argumentation. When I first got to the class the instructor quickly corrected the student that called her Ms. Teacher-person, when really she preferred being called Dr. Teacher-person PhD. As soon as she did that I thought to myself, "Of course. It's THIS kind of class". The type of class that makes you cringe and whine when it comes times to attend. I came to find out rather quickly that I was very wrong about the atmosphere of the class. Not about the teacher though. She was exactly the type of professor I thought she would be. The formatting of the class started out with a nationally recognized court case being brought to our attention. It was the case of Terry Schindler-Schiavo. I remembered hearing about this case back in 2003, but of course I couldn't tell you why I was following this story at the age of ten. After we were given all the facts of both sides we had the opportunity to ask her questions that helped us pick a side. After everyone picked a side and moved to that side of the room, we spent the next 45 minutes arguing to the opposing view why we thought they should change their opinion. It was the most fun I have had in a class in a LONG time.
For the people that really know me, this shouldn't come as a big shock to you. "Wait... Lindsay likes to argue? Even if her point as no actual merit other than making her SOUND right?" In the midst of the discussion I pissed off one guy and made a friend of another. I really don't think people should enroll themselves in a debate if they are just going to get their wittle feelings hurt. Long story made longer, I think that is going to be my all-time favorite class.
Men who kiss their wives in the morning live five years longer than those who don't. I think a women just pulled this statistic outta nowhere.
