History of Media Arts (part 2: Back with Boredom) kicked off my Spring Semester 2004 at Emerson College. Dr. Harmony Wu carries quite the reputation around campus as a b*tch. Fortunately, today is likely the only time that I will have class with her. Professor Peter Flynn teaches the same class before Dr. Wu and he agreed to sign me into his class. I am trying to reschedule my classes to the morning so that I am able to work and save money for Castle Well. If I am also able to learn under a more friendly professor, all the better.

The first class was not without hilarity. If Dr. Wu wasn’t so scary with her pop-quizzes of doom, I would stick around just for the dry humor. Here are some highlights:

Apparently there was a flood — or something Biblical — and all the books were ruined. [. . .] They (the Emerson College bookstore) ask for book orders way early and then they don’t even order them until a week before we return and then they unleash water on them.

If you have any of these devices (cell phones, palm pilots, pagers and anything else that beeps, rings, blinks, buzzes, whistles, vibrates, whirs, lights up, spins, twirls, or otherwise calls attention to itself) out during an exam, I will consider it a new media form of writing answers on your sneakers.

You wouldn’t believe the number of grandmas that die around exam time. It’s just amazing — and bad karma

You can put your fantasy scenarios on the Excel spreadsheet.

My brain is melting, so welcome to the Harmony Wu experience.

I know you guys are chasing, or chaffing, or chomping, or whatever at the bit or however the expression goes.
