heh, used “fuck” in class today. My partner teacher was trying her best to control the unruly fishing students (sailors, you know) during the presentation. For 20 minutes, she was contantly telling them to be quiet and listen to the other students when they were presenting. Eventually, I got fed up and raised my voice:
oooooOOOOOOOIIIIIIIII!!!! <instant silence - Joe never raises his voice> for fuck’s sake
One of the three trespassing students echoed with fear, “fuck”. Never before had he heard it in real life, for one of it’s strongest uses. The class quickly jumped back into line and things went smoothly. After class, they played the blame game for a while before all three started apologizing profusely (complete with bows). I wasn’t satisfied - there was another inconsiderate student who was rudely commenting during presentations (tho, during my outburst, he wasn’t talking). I pulled him over as well, and got straight answers right away.
In other news, the festival’s website is up. Or, more accurately, the student run store’s site is up.
