why being a history major rules
because you have classes with crazy ass professors like john french who get arrested for growing and selling pot in their spare time (in his house, no less). for some reason i find this not only to be amusing but kinda cool in a really twisted sense. i mean really, can you imagine an engineering, chemistry (i guess they can mix their own little coctails), or poli-sci prof doing something like that? maybe someone from the philosophy deptartment, but that's about the only other place i can think of. it's a fun major. it's a chill major. you will never be brought to the edge of insanity by undetectable coding errors or incalculable molarities. and the profs tend not to have any large inanimate objects metaphorically stuck up their cracks (though i managed to find one or two that did). these are only a few reasons why history is awesome.
the best part of all this is that prof. french was my advisor for the two years i was in the history department. i dont know why they assigned me to him, seeing as how our areas of specialty were in no way related, but it doesn't really matter since he never really advised me on anything (maybe he was hittin the bong too hard?). by that time i was no longer a helpless little freshman who needed someone to create my class schedule for me, so i just went to him to get my registration code and that was about it. i would make a comment about his office being disheveled and that being a clue, but if you know anything about history profs, it's that the ones who have a neat office are the freaks.
anyway, i thought that was funny. first jayson blair, and now this. i'm starting to wonder if i'm a harbinger of future ethical/legal trouble.
