October 21, 2003: Some prominent features of my graduate school experience

1. Nameplate- we're required to display it for the teacher in each class- the name also goes on the back for the people sitting behind you.
2. Professor- generally positioned at the front of the room, which is closer than it appears in this photo.
3. Notes- in this case, on inventory valuation. Highlights include LIFO and FIFO methods for calculating cost of goods sold.
4. Tools- HP12C financial calculator (for calculations), Tungsten C (for scheduling and checking email/web), Ipod (for listening to the Magnetic Fields), Samsung A500 (set to vibrate- fines for ringing cell phones can exceed $20 for each infraction).
5. Beverage- I've taken a liking to Dr. Pepper- a bargain at $.90 in the hallway soda machine.

Ha.
That Dr. Pepper is expensive.
ahhhhhhhh memories - don't miss grad school at all ... but it does seem better than considering a worse alternative of working in a cubicle white plains in the middle of no where ~ frightening dayz ahead ;-(
So, now that you've been a teacher, how would you say that your grad teachers are doing?
:)
well, they are doing better than me, in that they haven't used the word "fuck" repeatedly during a lecture, or made a business walking into class cold and "freestyling" a lecture.
the teacher probably still doesnt know your name with those two guys sitting like that in front of your nameplate!
missing : cute girl. There has to be some eye candy in the class?
love da dr. pepper...
