CTR you have made a fuss

I wrote last week that my CTR ring had come up in a conversation with someone at school. Well it was a talking point tonight!
First we went around the room (15 people) and said our educational and career goal for coming to UOP and when we want to accomplish it. I said I wanted to be a counselor of some sort (cuz I really don't know) And my instructor stops and says that's cuz your LDS and most LDS people have service oriented careers. I laughed and said yeah but I don't want to be a teacher like every other Mormon girl. And then the whole class laughed and we continued.
But when we got to this guy (i don't remember his name) he said he wanted to be an accountant. And the instructor thought that was super awesome and started talking about taxes and how we should all have the same percentage of taxes. And Karen (the loud mouth in the class) Says and point at me, "We should do it like the Mormons, take 10%, Let the Mormons take over the finances for the US and we wouldn't be in this mess. I don't care for the religion but they got their money figured out!!"
I wasn't sure how to respond so I didn't and we moved on. But then later Karen (loud mouth) stuck up for my religious rights. (unexpectedly!)
We were talking about the best way to write a paper and how to brain storm. S0 the instructor says "lets talk about beer, who here has never has a drink?" And everyone looks at me! and Karen says "we can't talk about something she has never experienced, she wont have an opinion!" she suggests we talk about Underwear instead. Cuz everyone knows about underwear!
And the discussion went like this:
What do you know about underwear? (all of the answers we were saying he was writing on the board)
Made of cotton, silk, wool,
Different colors
Can have sayings on them
Much more public then they used to be
Functional
Recreational (we decided it would be polite to put that up instead of other descriptions)

The Recreational talk got a little colorful.
Now at this point we start talking about the history of underwear, loin cloth, chastity belt, and the bra. And then some one asks in Depends are a kind of underwear? And the instructor kinda cocks his head and thinks about it for a sec while Karen is saying "yep they make it so people don't leak every where." And so he writes Leakage next to Functional. And we all bust up, I finally stop enough to say we should have talked about beer cuz this is way worse. And we all laugh.
And I made myself the nerd of the bunch. The teacher puts his assignments in the syllabus that was handed out to us last week. And I have read it several times. And tonight he was talking as if everyone had read it. And Karen (loud mouth) is confused (as is half the class) and so he has to show us where where we can find it on our online classroom. (I had been saying it's in the syllabus, earlier in the evening and Karen had said it was to much to read. I said it was like the bible and she needed to read it to follow it. And she retorted yeah they are both to hard to read.) Any who, the instructor couldn't figure out how to show us on the computer so I went up and login in and was showing the class. I got up to let him take over but stayed there next to the desk (cuz he asked me not to sit down yet, encase he needed help.) and he was trying to tell everyone that there is homework that is in the syllabus that is not in the online classroom. And then he was trying to find the activity in the syllabus. And I happened to know exactly what page it was on so I said it to him. And Karen freaks out and says "holy crap is it just my or does she know way to much about the stupid syllabus?" I blush and everyone laughs, but my instructor came to my rescue by saying "yeah she knows her stuff, wouldn't you like to have her in your group? I know I sure would" Karen shuts up and I smiled!

Boo yeah!! Over-studying pays off!! And if you sat here and read this whole thing.... I freakin LOVE you!!!
