Oh man, I'm tight with the economics man
That's right ladies and gents, today was a day that was far outside the ordinary. I finished my Islam reading, understood it and was interested in it. I had Bells. AND I became best friends with Karl Case, the man who wrote our economics text book last year. Well, maybe not best friends, if you want to be really picky about it.
Anyway, here's the story:
After Islam I went over to Pendleton and wandered around looking for stairs. There were no stairs. So I found the elevator and took it to the fourth floor. There, I located room 409 and stood in the door way while Prof. Case finished telling a student about rent.
So I stepped into the room and said "You don't have me in any of your classes." And he said, "You look familiar." This was an odd thing to say because I've never seen him before in my life- because the picture on the inside of the Economics book doesn't count. "You had my mother. She graduated in '80" I said. So we talked about that for a bit and he asked for the phone number of my house and said he was going to call my mom that evening. Heehee.
Then I said, "I have an odd request for you..." and I explained about the Cornell thing. So he read the letter (and shook my hand for being a Democrat) and thought it was funny and he wanted to write something funny, but he had to think about it. So we took a walk down the hall to....look up my mother in the economics department files! Apparently they have a card for every student who's ever taken an econ class at Wellesley. So we found my mom and discovered she got an A in stats. My mom's cool like that.
Anywho, we went back to his office and he decided to call my mom right then and there. It was mad funny. She was really surprised, to say the least, and Prof. Case said that she should come and visit when she came up for Parents' Weekend.
Then he signed Cornell's card.
Anyway, the moral of the story is that I am tight (yo) with Prof. Case. Kinda like Kelly and Greg Kaufman.
Oh man, today was just a mad sweet day. I had Glee Club at 5 and it was AMAZING! In fact, amazing doesn't even cover it. I feel like I'm back with Mrs. Alks. Only, I have one sad announcement....I'm sorry Altos....I've gone over to the dark side.....yes. I'm singing soprano. I'm really really sorry. It was the director. But I will always be an alto at heart!
