melluransaNot only do I pay attention to lecture, but I pay attention to the manner in which the lecture is presented. I have three classes over the summer, and they are taught by three different professors who are all totally different in their speaking style and the things they say. I jot down the funnier ones in the margins of my notebook. There are some real gems.
Dr. C. She specializes in brains, brain injury, neurology, and the impact of brain injury on language function. She's pretty awesome. She says "babe" for "baby," "soar-y" for "sorry," and "pitcher" for "picture." She grew up in Maine... is that Canadian dialect? Amongst the students, her reputation is horrible and they all hate her, but that's because she teaches all the difficult classes like neurology and anatomy & physiology. I don't hate her. I like her classes and do well in them. She always gives me A's, but I reckon I deserve them. But she seriously gives me full points on all the assignments and papers and stuff. :3 Yay. Outside of class she's rather brisk, almost to the point of being rude.
...and then it's just fluffy.
It's like riding a plane on crack.
The WoodCock Johnson test of Cognitive Impairment.
I don't do elevators.
...duck-butt looking thingy in the back.
Dr. B. She specializes in language grammar. Grammar grammar grammar, and the development of grammar in children. She says absolutely no "umms" or "uhhs" ever. She uses big words, words I've never heard used in conversation. She lived in Africa for a while and never wears close-toed shoes. She is a genius and she has made me terrified to ever use a semicolon ever again. She's brilliant and really approachable, which is nice.
Maybe they have a snickerdoodle.
"Antiquated"
"Gamut"
In a much more gingerly fashion.
Dr. N. I don't know what she specializes in. She only teaches over the summer semester. Her hair is always messed up, but I think it's because she doesn't have time to look in a mirror at all. She works 3 jobs at multiple locations: schools, hospital, nursing home, and teaching at the university. She clocks in at 6:30 in the morning and teaches night class at the uni, which lets out at 7:30. I don't know how she's still standing by the end of the day.
"Larnyx" (...pet peeve, it's larynx. "Lair-inks." X_X)
So many pictures. I'm wearing you out, I think. Picture picture picture...
Switch it up a little...finally.
So again, varying degrees of variability on these things.
"Recreased"
Sac-like passages
Nocturnally, at night....
Acidicity is a definite contributor.
"Pharmacologically"
...Pretty cognitively cognizant with it.
If a kid starts to turn purple, they're not ready for a speaking valve.
I'm pretty boring.
This is where the patient puts the plastic tube in their cavity.
You may actually need to actually remove the device.
Oh drat! I hate when I do that.
Probably half of you are on facebook right now, because listening to me is boring.
-------Hope those gave you a laugh! They do me. Especially Dr. N. Dr. N. says so many fillers (y'know, actually, basically, generally, we're looking at, so again, again, here we have, you can see.) I tally how many times she says "again." Last time she said "again" 84 times in 120 minutes. This time, she broke her record and said "again" 116 times in 135 minutes. O_O Sometimes she would say it twice in the same sentence, or 4 times when explaining a schematic. Again. Again, again. So again.
And the semester's not even over yet! I wonder what more funny things my professors will say before mid- to late-July when classes end.
