Cue professor. "Well class. Welcome to understanding the Middle East. Good thing all of you are here, because none of you actually understand it at all." He takes a seat on his podium, then proceeds to kick off his shoes, revealing mismatched, colorful socks.
I immediately knew I would like this professor.
"I believe in a casual life, with casual dress." As he loosens his tie, unbuttons the top button of his shirt and stretches out a bit.
"I love this subject. I've spent more than half my life in the middle east as an archaeologist. But, I hate teaching this class."
*audible gasp*
"Don't worry. I'll teach it all to you. But I get rather frustrated, rather quickly. So deal with it. I also have back and foot problems. So you can deal with those as well. I don't believe in Brainhoney/I-learn. I will be grading your papers with a red pen, you will be collecting them all when I hand them back. And that is how you will know your grade. I, lucky for you, do have a website though, so, through google I'm sure you can find it. You have an assignment posted. Print out some maps. Don't worry though, I won't make you color them in. I'm not a total freak. Good luck people"
Professor, this could be the start of a great semester.
