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.

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.

Game 7
The Rangers draw first blood, but after that it has been all-St Louis. Allen Craig homers yet again. He is replacing Matt Holliday who is injured and will not be playing.
2 walk off runs with the bases loaded in the bottom 5th. Who would have thought this would happen in a pivotal game 7 with the winner take all? Texas needs to start throwing strikes. Down by 3 runs in the top 7th, its time to pile it on, if not the homecrowd will explode.
St Louis scores in the bottom of the 7th. 6-2!
Scoreless top 8th for Texas. 3 outs left for them to make a difference and have a comeback...in the 9th. Nelson Cruz, Mike Napoli and David Murphy are up to bat. Bottom of the order.
Texas is down to their final out- 11:21pm EST
One minute later, after 2 pitches, David Murphy flies out to left field........and the ST LOUIS CARDINALS ARE YOUR 2011 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS. 14/15 weeks till pitchers and catchers report for spring training, to console myself for the Yankees.

World Series update
Game 1: St Louis wins narrowly.
Game 2: Texas takes it.
Game 3: Slug fest, Albert Pujols hits 3 homeruns, putting him along the likes of Babe Ruth and Reggie Jackson in a World Series game. St Louis wins.
Game 4: Texas wins. Mike Napoli hits a 3 run homer as the dagger.
Game 5...........
Miscommuincation in the St Louis bullpen, blame it on the noise says Tony LaRussa. Only one reliever warms up after the first call, then LaRussa calls and the bullpen coach summons the wrong player. The reliever who is not supposed to face Napoli ends up staying to face him, then LaRussa takes him out.... with the wrong reliever showing up and of course, the manager is confused and makes him do an intentional walk, giving the ORIGINAL guy who is supposed to warm up barely enough time to get loose and comes in.
Mike Napoli strikes again with the double. In a crazy postseason with rally squirrels and a tortoise on twitter (Allen Craig's pet), it certainly can't get any wilder than this. What's next?

The stage is set...
Two teams left standing. One dream, one vision, one goal. This is what thirty teams dream about, but in the end, only one will come away with the ultimate prize. The World Series trophy.
Dreams will be realized right now for some who have never been there, playing in baseball's grandest stage, at the finest hour. Players will shine, new stars will be born, like in the AL/NLCS. Some never envisoned and reporters/pitchers/managers scrambling to figure out who is this kid that is killing our team with a bat that can't be stopped.
In August, and September, I had never heard of David Freese. This guy skyrocketed with an astounding .545 hitting percentage in the NLCS and became an instant household name on national tv. Nelson Cruz was unheard of till last year I believe. But who the heck is David Freese? A St Louis native who is the starting third baseman, who is overshadowed by Albert Pujols, Lance Berkman, Matt Holliday and Chris Carpenter. Never saw him coming.
Lets see if the Rangers can contain him.
Texas is extremely explosive. Their lineup is deep and dangerous. Mike Napoli, Adrian Beltre, Ian Kinsler, Michael Young, Nelson Cruz, Josh Hamilton.
Josh Hamilton had a decent ALCS so far. Its his second straight year in the World Series, something he probably had never envisioned years ago when he was caught up in drugs and alcohol.
I'm rooting for the man. After reading his book entitled Beyond Belief, Hamilton is a success story. He deserves the title more than anything, and this would put him on top of the world.
If I call the shots, my prediction would be Rangers in 7. The Dallas Mavericks won the nba title in June. Make it a second title in the same year for the boys in nearby Arlington.
