The A-Team


So let's just say that my professors are very....interesting people. There's really no need for preface. Let's just take a look at the lot shall we:

The Sir: Monday morning, still jet lagged from the plane, I walk in to find my "Media & Politics" professor wearing the most English-looking suit I think I will ever see. The Sir was wearing a three piece, pea soup green, tweed suit with a red paisley tie that matched his pocket square. All of this was on top of a blue and white striped shirt with PINK suspenders. To top it all off, he had an overcoat that was the same pea-soup green tweed as his suit and a bowler hat. To his merit, he is one of the most knowledgeable people I've ever met and have great esteem for his accomplishments as a teacher and politico.

The Fox: My "London Theatre" teacher is arguably the most entertaining woman that I've ever met. I literally took notes on what this woman was wearing/saying. Here's the list:
-- Pink rolling backpack

--Boots with the fur (mind you, she's nearly 60 years old)

--Ice blue eye makeup and bright red/purple lipstick

--Direct quote: "French men give the best sex." Then she alluded that we should take advantage of that situation if it presented itself
--She also divulged to us that she was thinking about starting to club again....like at real clubs....with her girlfriends....who are also 60 years old.....

The Dude: In a nutshell, my "Culture by Design" teacher is a former-American renegade who "got the hell out of America" with the first chance that he got. Pretty much, he never had any plan for his life and just went with it to see where he would end up. (I actually find this quite admirable.) He has three basic stereotypes about English accents: they are either (1) Fancy. "English accent means you are far fancier than I will ever be," (2) Snooty, "Excuse me, do you have any Grey Poupon?," or (3) Gay.

The Gran: My "European History" professor. Sweetest old thing that you ever did meet who should be knitting by a fireplace instead of dealing with us all day. Earlier today she lectured me on the history of feminine products. I still don't know why, but I love her just the same.


And finally, The Muse: "Art History". Let's just say, she's seen it all, done it all, and painted a crap ton of it all. 


London Love, Kristen
