Stupid things I did in college

My son went to his first day of college today. Long story, but he had to make some schedule changes. Well he had a big space between two classes, so now he is taking dance improvisation. WTH is that? I'm guessing it must be the opposite of synchronized dancing. I'm thinking this might be right up his alley.

So it got me to thinking about stupid things I did in college. For my gym classes, I took gymnastics and ballet. I was very limber and a gymnast already so that class was an easy A.

I knew ballet so that should have been an easy A too. I was waiting tables at lunch and my ballet class was immediately before work, so I 'skipped' quite a few ballet classes. Fortunately, I knew the poses and was pretty good at it.

I showed up one day and started putting on my leotard and one of the other girls said  "You don't need to suit up, we have our final exam today". OMG!!! We had a very small ballet book that we were supposed to read. Well, I never even OPENED the book. I think it was the history of ballet, and a lot of names, places, etc. (I only guessed that based on the test.) So anyway, I got an F on my final, BUT because of my ballet prowess, I managed to pull a C in the class.

The other thing that wasn't really my fault. I needed an upper level literature class. Well, I worked a lot so I had to find classes to meet my schedule. I ended up taking a lit class that doubled as a women's study course. Well let's just say I was the only hetereosexual in the class. And because it was Victorian literature, the books were all written by women (Bronte) and about 800 pages each. So I was working two jobs, taking 4 classes and had to read 6 of these books in addition to my other text books. Oh and the homosexual, pink-haired, Canandian teacher hated me. Another C.

By the way, I never included by GPA on my resume.
