The People who Work at this University/The People from whom I've Learned

My teachers here have been quite interesting, and usually very entertaining. Most of them are quite eccentric, each having their own crazy little quirks. It's inevitable. I'll describe them to you, and also how their finals went (though I've yet to take the last one which is today). 

Well my morning grammar teacher is just... crazy. She kinda looks like a bird, but that's not the main point. She has really, really, incredibly short bronze (dyed) hair. She wears crazy outfits: one time black and white striped pants (think Beettlejuice), sometimes an orange metallic coat, sometimes a black (blue?) metallic shirt with an Elizabethan neck ruffle under that orange coat. She gets crazy unconvincing happy voice too, and sometimes talks to us like we're babies. All in all she aint bad! The final for grammar is the same for everyone in B1: oral comprehension (not too shabby), written comprehension (not bad either - I usually do well here), and written expression (passable).

My art history teacher is probably approaching his 50s. Blue camo pants. Penguin/winter themed sweaters. No top lip. Bottom lip. Absolutely no top lip. And maybe a lisp... I haven't been 100% on that. I really can't concentrate sometimes because I'm willing him to have a top lip. He seems very interested in what he's teaching, but frankly the class doesn't keep everyone's attention 100% of the time. That final... everyone walked out of laughing because it was so difficult. There's no way any of us could have done superbly. Nothing to do but laugh and move on!

Vocabulary teacher (who's also my culture and society teacher) looks like a prettier version of Rachel Dratch (from SNL... google if you don't know). She's quite nice, very personable, I like her a lot. Vocab final wen't pretty well, I think. There was even a mistake on the test in a sentence that we actually had to copy and while writing my sentence I had this inner battle to correct it or not, mainly because it confused me. Here: 'Il nous a rencontré,' was her sentence (if you speak French you should see the mistake already), and we had to change everything in the paragraph to be feminine, but the problem is that there should be an S on that last verb there because of the 'nous,' which... nevermind, in the end, my sentence read 'Elle nous a rencontrés.' I hope to get full points on that one. I'm taking the Culture and Society final today.

My History of France teacher is cool. His profile wouldn't end with his nose, but his lips. They stick out. Maybe his nose... The best part about this guy: sometimes he sounds just like Giacomo from the movie Thumbelina. He's cool too, and gets really into the stories. One time, for some reason, to explain something... I don't know, he put his leg on the chair and lifted up his pant leg to show us his leg or calf or to make some point, anyway, I did that sexy whistle and erryone laughed. It was perfect. He's cool.
