However, here are a few things we will definitely NOT be missing...
1. Smoking
If this is an institution of higher education, then why are there so many smokers!? And why can't they read the sign "No Smoking within 20 feet of entrance?"
2. PowerPoint Presentations
More and more professors are using PowerPoint in their lectures. 75% of them do not know how to use it correctly.
3. Spandexed-Rear-Tushies
If you're not a dance major, you're just trying to show off your bum. And we know it. And you know that we know it.
4. The Spanish Department
Don't get me started on it.
5. Professors
The ones who use those PowerPoint slide-shows incorrectly.
And the ones who don't really know what they're talking about.
And the ones who don't know but insist you treat them like they do know.
And the ones who put their political slant on everything.
And the ones who make you do busy work just because they can.
And the Ego. Enough said.
5a. The not-really professors, or TAs (or GAs if you prefer)
So, why are so many classes taught by foreign grad students anyway? I can understand Doctoral students doing this, because they have had some good time to learn the subject. But people only a few years farther along who you can't understand anyway? This is not to bash all TAs, there are good ones out there (many better than the actual professor), but you know the ones I'm talking about.
6. Pedestrians
They're everywhere, like gnats. Off the sidewalk, in the street, in the bike lane, ignoring traffic signals, oblivious to traffic (you've seen the guy, he's halfway across the intersection, texting, before he realizes he's stepped in front of cross traffic). Hope you don't hit one!
7. Unvocabulated Students
Isn't it amazing how some students can use the same word to describe every emotion they feel? (ie: "I #*@$&% hate this!" "I #*@$&% love you!" "That is #*@$&% awesome!" "You are #*@$&% lame!")
8. Lack of Clothing
...and very nice sunburns/tan lines because of it.
9. Homework
Especially busy work.
