So last friday I was sitting in my Intro to Java class listening to the guest speaker we had that day. Half-way through the talk she started talking about using our free-time to our academic advantage. She said that instead of going to go see a movie, we read a book, instead of going to the beach, go to library, and all that sort of non-sense. Right before my interest in her lecture faded away, she asked the class, "How many of you in here play Half-Life??" Well, being the avid gamer that I am, my hand jolted up (I was a little embarrassed because no else raised their hand). She replied in a facetious tone, "OHHHH, well then you have no time for school work because you're too busy killing people with your knife in half-life!" At first I did not know what to say, but then after replaying what she said in my mind I told her "that's not possible because you never use a knife in half-life" Our guest speaker seemed a bit puzzled, she paused for a moment and replied " you obviously didn't play it that much then, because you do use a knife" Now I was a bit upset, I didn't care that she was trying prove me wrong, I cared that she kept talking to me in a condescending tone. I decided to wait till after class to correct her knowledge on half-life. So after the class was over, I walked up to her and she said "Oh Mr. Half-Life, what may I correct you on now?" With out even missing a beat, I replied " you use a crowbar in half-life, you use a knife in counter-strike, you're gaming knowledge is just like you're teaching ability, poor" All-in-All, I got a little slap on the wrist from my teacher (the basic lecture of being nice to guest-speakers even if they are not nice to you). Fucking guest-speakers...
