In a hungover state of mind, and not wanting to do any form of school related work, I have decided to come up with a post listing quotes that I deem worthy in a humorous way, coming straight out of a certain professor's mouth.

It makes me feel better when I give you that F.- in reply to when I said I wouldn't mind slaving for your class despite not getting an A for it for sure.

If you can't find a spa/eatery next to a run down shophouse or a mosque/temple, photoshop it!

(Insert my name) is a good student, she can co-ordinate a birthday party, make a strong drink, and control her group members.

You've asked for an essay exam  throughout the past 1.5 years and when I finally give one you couldn't come through .

You deserve a drink since you're done with the mid term. (Don't I have a 3 page essay due in two days time as what you said before?)

It's 5pm on a Saturday afternoon, finish up now and its time for food and beer!

(insert professor's name) is an example of someone who is socially awkward. (Then he goes on for ten minutes about the briefcase story.)

You asked me what I'm doing. I could be eating. Or killing students like you. (at the bus stop after the mid term)



Will think of more later. Uufff. Why didn't I come up with this during the semester? Would have been way more fun, seriously. Now I'm struggling to recall all the nonsensical things that cracks me up.
Wow. The lockout will end and training camps start December 9th. Bring on the NBA season come Christmas Day! Thank goodness the season has been salvaged! Must have been the power of Thanksgiving

This ain't sports related but since it's Thanksgiving, I decided that I'd do a dedication post here instead.

What am I thankful for?
The Yankees and Tar Heels! Round the year sporting action that I never get bored of watching: Formula One racing, baseball, college hoops, college football, ice hockey and of course NBA which I dearly miss cause of the lock out.

Non-sports wise:
Still being in college, having a roof over my head.
Encouraging and star professors ie young Kris who taught me medical sociology (I took a class under him last year and he was good enough so I did another one and did way better!), Andy, the third class I've taken under him, one every year with the exception of 2010. Chris.... oh my god. Where do I even start? One of th most amazing professors I've had in my whole life in college, and possibly high school. I'd never get tired of listening to his lectures and attending classes, to date I've yet to skip a class taught by him all semester. Teaching style keeps me wanting to read up after the lecture has ended and even when I ask a million questions and make him repeat what he just said, in simpler terms, dude never gets mad. One of the few professors I'd let my mates meet, and they actually like him. I'll never get an A for any classes but it's still worth slaving for.

Friends that I could talk for hours to: Renny and Kevin Mcgahan, the other Kevin, Hillbilly, Zarena.

I'll think of more later.

Thoughts relating to the sporting world

The NBA lockout seems pretty damned serious. No games till December 15. Hopefully very soon the owners and players would come to an agreement- the recession is bad, and this makes things even worse, leaving tens of thousands of employees out of jobs. And speaking of the exhibition tour, what on earth happened to it? It was supposed to start in early November but nothing has happened. The players are fed up. Some of them have taken their talents across to Europe and China. If this persists, many more will soon be seen across the world.

In the mean time I'm watchng college basketball and football and NFL.

Can't wait for Tuesday morning local time. The AL MVP will be announced. Justin Verlander stands a strong chance of winning it, the second big prize he'd be taking home in a week, which would put him in the likes along hall of famers. Curtis Granderson is a strong candidate to win it.

As for the NL MVP which would be announced the following day after, Matt Kemp, Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder are in the mix.

Winners of the rookie of the year award, cy young and manager of the year have been extremely deserving.

I can't wait to see the rankings in college football after this week's shake and bake. Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Clemson and Nebraska amongst the ranked teams losing to a lower seeded team. Since the Sooners lost, this might give Alabama a chance to regain the second spot, and if they can hold on, an all SEC BCS would happen come January. LSU and Alabama to duke it out, sounds like a dream matchup and a rivalry for the decade.
