While working in the ILC

I think I just pulled an awkward conversation.


*man walks in*
Me: Hi!
Man: Hi.
Me: Good, how are you?
Man: ...(no response)



(I could've sworn he said "How are you?" by the way he said "Hi." Oh well.)

Finals, finals, finals.

Two girls talking in NACS during Finals Week:

Girl 1: When's your bio final?
Girl 2: Tomorrow at 3pm.
Girl 1: Girl, you've got plenty of time to study!
Girl 2: NO, I haven't studied anything!
Girl 1: Nothing? You haven't studied anything? Not even reading your book?
Girl 2: No, I've just printed out notes.
Girl 1: You're screwed.

Lost in Translation

"the other day, my dad saw a really beautiful bird and he said, "con chim do dep qua!"

my sister then said, "co noi do" (that's what she said) in vietnamese.

my parents were so confused. lol"

Asians in South Carolina?

During my beginning poetry writing class this morning, we were reviewing Robert Pinsky's poem "Shirt". Line 2 to 4 go like:

"The nearly invisible stitches along the collar / Turned in a sweatshop by Koreans or Malaysians / Gossiping over tea and noodles on their break..."

and Lines 40-42 (toward the end of the poem) go like:

"George Herbert, your descendant is a Black / Lady in South Carolina, her name is Irma / And she inspected my shirt. Its color and fit..."

Anyway, the class is separated into groups, each group being assigned a question to answer about the poem. I forgot what the 2nd group's question was, but my classmate had said to the professor something like:

"I think the poem is trying to show a variety of ethnicities. In the beginning he's talking about Koreans and Malaysians, then toward the end he talks about the blacks in South Carolina. Because honestly, do you see any Koreans or Malaysians in South Carolina?"

The class begins to laugh, to which my professor later responds:

"I'm sure there are some there," with a hint of sarcasm.

My classmate also apologized to the class later saying, "I'm sorry if what I said offended anybody!"

Food.

This is a conversation between my roommate (Jessica) and her boyfriend (John).

Jessica: "Did you eat yet?"
John: "Did you cook me anything yet?"

A Fourth?

The teacher asked one of the students to name the Holy Trinity. Here was his response:

Kid: "The Holy Spirit, Jesus, Jesus' son..."

Walking around campus...

So I see these two guys walking around campus and one of them says:


Guy: I love living with myself!

The Plague

While going over the 3rd Commandment in class, the teacher reveals some interesting facts.

Teach: "All the Jews had to mark their doors with the blood of an innocent lamb or goat..."
Kid #1: "What if there weren't anymore lambs or goats?"
Teach: "TOUGH."
Me: O_o
----

Kid #2: "What does the Angel of Death look like?"
Teach: "I dunno, we've never met."

I'm YOUNG....

Me: I'm okay. thanks
Doc: Elan taon ka na? (how old are you?)
Me: 23
Doc: ANO 23? WOW you look young for your age. She (refering to the dental assistant) said that you look 19.
Doc's Assistant: wow 23 ka? bata bata mo... akala ko tweenteen ka lang.... (wow 23? you're young. i thought you were only tweenteen)

Immortality

While one student read the following passage, another student spoke his mind about it.

"When our first parents [Adam and Eve] lost the gift of sanctifying grace, they also lost several other special gifts, including immortality of the body (freedom from death) and immunity from suffering in mind and body."

Kid: "AWWW MAAN! WE COULDA LIVED FOREVER!!!"

Whispering sweet nothings

During mass on New Year's day, I overheard a mom's response to her child's question.

Girl: "Mom, where's daddy?"
Mom: (in a whispering voice) "He went to pee-pee."
Girl: "Where did he go?"
Mom: (in a louder whispering voice) "He went to pee-pee."
