So I'm picking up the torch of the quotable profs and already have a good chunk! This is just day one, even! I can't wait for Day 2!
To a student saying they were obsessive about a certain topic "Now I'm a little afraid"
Excitable prof has "In Terra Pax..." as a screen saver....oh the irony! In earthly peace for a bouncing off the wall professor!
"I'm not sure I can read Medieval Korean, so maybe you can't read it"- to a Korean student about reading Medieval English
"Even though I can talk the hind leg off of several donkeys...."
"This is what is....ooh, saucy language about to emerge"
"Blood libel....the real one, not the Sarah Palin one..."
"You know [Student], I know you're a procrastinator. You're not as bad as me!"
Oh, this makes me infinitely happy! So excited to pass the torch, my dear. Have fun this semester - I know you will!
