My History Class is a Freak Show

This semester I have one class which I kind of consider a blow off class, history 211. It is the lowest level class I am taking and it has the lightest workload, with no attendance policy I could never attend and still do well. However the class is an utter freak show, my friend Kristen and I just sit in the back row and watch events unfold. Let me give you the run down of the cast of characters.

The infamous Kobe Bryant Jersey wearer- I wrote about him before so I won’t go into detail about him, but for the first time ever he wore a shirt that was not a jersey. (He is wearing the maroon shirt in the picture below.)

The minimalist- This guy comes to class with nothing: no book, no notebook, no pen, no paper, and most notably no shoes. He sits in the back row near Kristen and I, always about halfway through class I notice a disagreeable smell which I assume is coming from his feet. It smells like a combination of dirty feet, stale cigarette smoke, and cow shit. He doesn’t talk in class ever either, maybe he is a new age monk or Pigpen from Charlie Brown, it could go either way.

The attention whore- This girl always comes into class about 15 minutes late and for some reason she doesn’t understand the concept of coming in quietly. She always rips open the door, has it slam shut behind her, and then crawls over ten people to get to a seat where she slams down her books onto the desk. Plus she never raises her hand when she has a question she just blurts it out without regard for anyone else.

The inappropriate dresser- This girl is in the picture above wearing the brown shirt. Now I don’t care if you are 90 pounds or 900 pounds there are appropriate clothes for you to wear and for some reason this girl must not have any. In this picture she was wearing a brown t-shirt that might be at least two sizes small for her, when she came into class holding her books she was wearing it like a half shirt until she attempted to pull it down before she sat down. Obviously the shirt didn’t make it down so I was left to look at the lower section of her back and ass crack all class… Thanks.

The always high guy- He might be my favorite guy because he looks like Hurley from Lost and is always stoned. Kristen and I think he has a crush on a girl in the class as he always makes sure to sit near her. One day he came into class listening to his i-pod, he sat in front of his crush and turned to talk to her.

High Guy- You totally need to listen to this song.
Crush- Uh… well… uh… okay
High Guy- Here… (He hands her the ipod headphones.)
Crush-(Listens with no reaction, hands back headphones after 30 seconds.)
High Guy- Well what did you think?
Crush- It was not my thing.
High Guy- (hurt and insulted) How can ANYONE not like Snoop Dogg?

Do people still buy Snoop albums? I think a small piece of him died that day when she didn’t get excited about the music. He hasn’t offered up his headphones since….

Do you like to people watch? Where do you go or where is your favorite place to watch people? Who has been your favorite person to watch?
