Okay not really, but he sure does look like him.
So I dropped the Shakespeare class.
I really tried to convince myself to stay in that class, but over and over again my crushing fear that i would have to perform overwhelmed all other thoughts. The nice teacher, hot dreamy artsy guy(who is also in my 8 am class) , and great location could not woo me into staying in that class.
If i had signed up for a performance class then my nerves wouldn't have gotten the best of me. It was just too much, and by four o'clock yesterday, i dreaded having to go to class the next day. Taking a biology class was out of the question, because i would have to magically fork over money i don't have. So staying in Shakespeare seemed the logical choice, i would have to suck it up and just do it.
But after taking a cat nap i woke up and totally came up with the most obvious solution. Instead of adding a biology i can just add another English, a different English. There really aren't that many choices for summer session 2 English classes because i either a) I don't need it B) have taken it or C) am going to take it during the fall.
But magically i managed to get one of the last seats in a Business Writing class. I know WTF, I'm not going into business but learning how to right resumes and other crap like that must be important. I was a little apprehensive at first, because joining a class two days late is pretty sucky. But with a click and a snap i dropped Shakespeare for Business Writing.
I ran to the bookstore, during a horrible thunderstorm, sold back my Shakespeare Book and began checking out the book so i would be semi prepared. I could barely get to sleep last night, as the clock ticked closer and closer to midnight, the hour in which i would be unable to make anymore changes to schedule. By the time i did manage to go to sleep i was awaken soon after by a Fire Alarm(more on this crap filled night later), so i was too tired today to really be worried about if i made the right decision. Rate my professor said he was awesome, funny, and extremely nice. But Ratemyprofessor. com is not always an accurate source. It seems like the people who actually make comments about the professor either passed with an high grade or failed.
Another weird thing on his Ratemyprofessor profile was that they said he looked like Jack Black. One person said a mixture between Jack Black and Vince Vaughn which was also kind of weird because Vaughn and Black look nothing alike and seeing a live spawn of the two would be rather interesting.
So After my 8 am class i ran to Business Writing, just so i could get the low down on the professor. I needed to know if he was as nice as everyone said he was. As soon as i walked in and asked this one guy he was like "He is really hard, i mean you are in for a tough semester". Being a spotter of BS a mile away i smiled politely and asked someone if i could see their syllabus. No test, a portfolio, one group project, and quizzes from time to time but most importantly NO PERFORMATIVE ART.
The class began filling in quickly and before you knew it my professor walked in. He totally looks like Jack Black. I mean exactly like Jack Black, maybe a few pounds thinner in the face, but other than that Jack Black has a twin running around here. I couldn't stop staring, i was waiting for the camera's to come in and for Professor. Jack Black to notify me that he was doing a reality show for VH1 or something.
But no, he just eerily looks like him. He was pretty nice too, he goes off on a tangent a lot and being a newlywed ( married a month) he talks about the comedy of his not so nuclear family. Wife, Husband, Greyhound and Rottweiler. I did miss a lot but he said he would put the notes online for me to view and that the two days i miss don't count against me.
YEAH!!!
Now time for a nap. Standing out in the cold for 30 minutes at 3am is not fun at all.

oh poop. shakespeare is SOOOOO wonderful, although i am right there with you on performance.
i took Shakespeare my first year of college. it was a great class, with an amazing prof. he wanted groups to stage scenes, though. and i couldn't. just couldn't. so i gave a presentation instead.
now, i think that being asked to read perhaps a couple of speeches would be great. HEARING shakespeare, feeling the way the words roll off your tongue, is amazing. the man knew what to do with words. reading a few sonnets, maybe. but performing? like acting? shudder.
i am sorry you did business writing, though. it sounds boring as fuck. i'd die if i had to teach business writing.
i hope it works out though! hacing jack black as your professor should be interesting!
oh sorry.
toad was me.
too many accounts. crikey.
Sounds like you made a good choice... get a nap!
