The List

Friends, it is time for my annual List.

The List of People Who Annoy Me (And/Or Give Me Something To Talk About) In Class.

I just enjoyed a lunch with quite a few friends, and I realized that it took me such a long time to compile this list, but it's definitely a good one this year! It also helps that I have class with the same people over and over again, and so the crop of students to choose from is limited, but concentrated.

Here goes:

1. Creepy Stare-y Girl: Most people will say they have this girl in EVERY one of their classes, but I would like to disagree. They generally just have a Creepy Girl. But very rarely do they see the Creepy Stare-y Girl. I discovered her the other week in Microeconomics. She sits in the front row, and instead of staring diligently at the black board taking notes, she sits and stares at you. She just stares. And she stares for awkwardly long amounts of time. She could be staring and contemplating economics, but I doubt it.

2. Freakishly Tan Guy (A.K.A. The Guy Who Wears Every Clothing Cliche On The Planet): Now, I don't have a problem with this guy as a person. He's actually a cool guy. But he's just really freakishly tan. He's more tan than I am, and I was BORN this way. He also wears every clothing cliche on the planet...his favorite you ask? The plaid baseball cap with the bill folded over waaaay too much, with plaid shorts. They are cool items of clothing separately...but not together.

3. The Blond: I feel like most people have this guy. He has perfectly coiffed blond hair and pops his collar. There are a lot more derogatory names for this gent, but I'd prefer not to say them.

4. Gay Guys Who Think They Know All: They talk a LOT. A LOT. And scoff at the professor. A LOT. Please...please, give the lecture if you know so much.

5. The Old Guy In Class Who Talks Way Too Much: I've been through this guy before. He's just your token older gentlemen (or woman) in the class who is coming back to school and insists on spewing their wordly knowledge at the expense of 200 other people.

6. Girl With A Beard: 'Nuff said. And yes, she does exist. In my Agronomy lab.

7. Hippy Pretentious Girl(s): Also in my Agronomy lab.

I think by far this list exceeds most others I come up with. But I think it's because I finally have "Girl With A Beard." I've never seen that before in all my time at the University. I had never seen that before when all my classes were in Minneapolis! It's just ten times funnier that my classes are all in St. Paul this year and I have a "Girl With A Beard" on my list.
