Finally, blissfully, it’s that time again. Today is the last day for (approximately) half of your classes, and your professors should have something to say about it.
As always, please send the sweet/sad/insane words they send you off with to tips@bwog.net or post in the comments thread.

@put these on culpa! Post these to CULPA also so they will remain forever in famy!
@Prof. O'Faherty - Urban Economics “In other Economics classes they teach you that bonds are important. I teach you that going to the bathroom is important, which it is!”
@okay... Prof. Benelli of History of Architecture fame ended the class by playing a video of Louis Armstrong singing “Bare Necessities”. I’m gonna miss his cute Italian accent!
@...yes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXwEBp3cKfM
THIS video of louis armstrong, to be exact…benelli is fantastic
@richard billows “One can imagine a person’s arm getting somewhat tired after awhile if they’ve been stabbing dead bodies over and over again.”
@Haha I’m going to miss Prof. Billows.
@Best Conclusion: No Competition Professor Connor, in his translation studies class, started out saying that “Conclusions are stupid.” and then proceeded to quote some French guy about how “Stupidity consists in wanting to conclude.”
On a side note, Intro to Translation Studies (which won’t be offered again until next fall) is one hell of an awesome course.
@PTC = awesome Ha, was just going to post this! “Some French guy” = Flaubert, btw.
Total agreement about the course.
@balmer is amazing in so many ways.
@Hah From Musatti in principles “If i were a man they’d say, ‘oh he has balls!'”

@Theories of the Universe “So this could all point to an anthropic principle. Or it might signify that we all just have too much time on our hands. And with that, the course ends!”

@bc '11 “Conclusions are stupid.”- Peter Connor, Introduction to Translation Studies
@Professor Andijar's ears must be burning Randall Balmer, Religion in American Culture:
“If you’ll allow me a personal note. Today marks the end of my first 25 years of teaching at Columbia. And I want to thank you for that, and I mean that. On my first day of teaching, I showed up to class and there was no one there and it was devastating, right out of grad school. And so I thank you for that. Without you, I’d probably be stuck teaching Introduction to Comparative Religion or something stupid like that.”
@Anonymous This speech actually made my day.
Professor Balmer=awesome
@wait how is nobody at a class? does that mean nobody registered for it?
@... yo, he said his first class was 25 years ago. pretty sure SSOL and the modern online registration system were not in place back then. maybe people signed up for a class by going on the first day. who knows?

Prof Lindemann, Science of Psychology
@Person At least that will be one thing I wrote that my professor read.
@Cell Biology Liz Miller: My favorite chlamydia story is —

Dr. Miller: Koala Sex.
