The Lazy Gnome...

Summer is supposed to be a fun, relaxing time (as long as you're not old and stuck with a job like PIB). The only problem is that as soon as school is out, all the cool kids move back home or go to Europe. So, since I was going to be stuck in Dallas anyway, and was unable to find a job that doesn't require me to do any work whatsoever, I decided to enroll in summer school. I figured that it would be a good way to meet other people (like myself) that have nothing else to do with their time. Besides, I really needed the credit hours.
I got really excited when I was able to get a spot in the Human Sexuality class because it only made sense that that would be the class where all the good-looking slackers that partied too hard during the regular school year would be flocking to. Plus, I heard a rumor that you got to watch porn in that class. Well, it turns out that summer school is basically "nerd camp." The few "cool" kids present were either retaking an important class that they had previously failed, or were simply victims like me that didn't know that summer school is a nerd breeding ground.
My class, for example, was full of nerdy pervs that all want to graduate a year early. So, despite popular opionion, even if they had offered a "lab" in this class, I would have been extremely reluctant to participate. And the myth about getting to watch porn? Totally false! The only things we watched that included nudity were "the Miracle of Life," a few slides showing some old person's wrinkly genitals, and (of course) slides of people with severe cases of STDs. Talking about sex for 2 hours a day (5 days a week) is supprisingly boring and not at all arousing. The only day that was supposedly fun was the day the proffessor passed out condoms and stretched one over her arm to show how strong they are, and I skipped that day.
So, I didn't make any new friends, but I did get to spend A LOT of quality time with my roommate whether she liked it or not. I guess it was worth it to get the three credit hours (and an "A" assuming I didn't screw up on the final), but I never want to take summer school again. If this class was hard and boring despite the "fun" topic, I'd hate to think of what any other summer school class would be like. Anyway, now that all is said and done, I'm heading out to Colorado for a bit to cool off. Hopefully by the time I get back I will have figured out what to do with the rest of my summer. PEACE!
