The First Day of Sociology

It was interesting. Have Smith for APUSH too. Hand-shake on entry. Guess that's his thing. Smith silent for start of class. Kept drinking "clear liquid" from thermos. Started to freak people out. Thought he was psychoanalyzing whole class, being social-scientist. Found ourselves in awkward silence. Few kids read through Smith's "About me" on back of sheet for clues to end silence. Am pretty quiet myself, so did not feel too out of place. Began talking after 5 minutes. Told us reasoning: Give us something unexpected, not typical of teachers. Daily hand-shakes unexpected even, for most students. However, hand-shake offers student moment of metaphoric solitude with teacher. Solid idea for any professional. Obvious Sociology won't be typical from day one.

Then gave his "webby" lecture. Very funny, even second time. Am only student in APUSH class, not like he can make up new material just for one anomaly. Class has sense of humor, unlike most physics classes. Mostly seniors, but no big deal. Know very few juniors anyways.

Don't know how to end blog. Catchy movie-quote? Sudden outburst of unwarranted profanity? Do you say "goodbye" each time? People don't say "bye" on phone anymore, so probably not..
