Today my teacher, a woman of fifty-something with a PhD, talked a lot about random shit, said, "but it's not because I believe in that stupidity about classes differences and stuff, no, no one gives you anything, the poor is the poor, the rich is the rich..." and then, after more random things said something like, "because I'm a humanist." Or something.

All of this in class called, "Methodology of Radioisotopes."

This will be a long, long semester.

ETA: Also, I'm always loving folks in this country who seem to live in alternative realities. Because you have to be something to be working in a health area here and say shit like that. ("Something" meaning lots of things. For all I know this woman could be very into the politics of health departments, meaning money, but some things she said confused me. I guess I'm going to have a whole semester to figure it out! Yaaaay!)
