YOU SHALL NOT PAAAASSSSSS!!!


            So let me start off by stating the particular student in the spotlight of this entry has been in the Associates degree program for the last five years! This program is meant to be a one year, eight month program. So I’m not quite sure how someone has managed to afford continuing their education here at such a stifling, staggering pace. If I were to have failed a class four times in a row, I’d be done. I probably would have realized this career does not agree with me.
                
            To start the colossally horrifying saga of said student, I was approached by my classmate and with them was a fistful of thyme. They came up to me, looked at me and said “Is this rosemary, or thyme?” I just said “Yes.” And walked away before I said something I’d most likely regret.

Now this person has been here five years…. FIVE! Within that amount of time one would think that a student would absorb the fact that this is either not for them or the repetitive and common information would eventually take hold in their brain.  Apparently not.

The next day, the class was talking about the flavors in the sausage that my partner and I had prepared for family meal. Somehow paprika was brought up in the conversation. My five year fellow student then asked a question that made the rom go quiet. Face palms spread like wildfire, people were looking away because they couldn’t believe what they had heard. “Does paprika have a flavor, or is it just a spice thingy?” Unfreakinbelievable. No answer was given. 

This is going to be one interesting class. -5 points for stupidity.
