SO, I was sitting in my "Key Debates in Social Theory" lecture last night, when the lecturer flipped to his next powerpoint slide. I, being a good little student, was writing down what he was saying, and not really reading the slide because I have access to the slides on my computer, and therefore don't need to copy them verbatim. However, he took a break and was explaining something I pretty much understood, and with good reason. I looked up to read the slide and this is what I saw:
Being who I am, which is a vocal, not very subtle, person, I got visibly excited. To the point of my lecturer going "Are you alright?" To which I said "BILL RAMP IS MY FAVOURITE PROFESSOR!"
I wish I could say I was more cool about it than that, but it was in the top 3 most exciting moments of my life. After class the Lecturer, Stephanie and I went out for a few drinks and he was like "Don't email your professor until you are sure its the right one, because that would be embarrassing for everyone" and I was like "No, its him. He's a theorist who writes a lot on Durkheim. That will be him." Then my prof here asked if "Professor Ramp" would even remember who I was, to which I replied "He better! He wrote you my reference letter, we're facebook friends, I call him "Bill"!
I hope there are people reading this who are as excited as I was.
Yup just as excited!
ReplyDeleteAshleigh! That is exciting! I'm going down the hall right now to tell everyone.
