Hiccup!

So Chris and I have this professor we call "Professor Guinness." She is ...something else! Our first day of class she told us students, "My office hours on Fridays are from 2:00 to 5:00. Actually, it's more like 4:57 because at five o'clock there is a Guinness beer with my name on it!" She also has this assumption that whenever we talk about "fun" or "doing stuff" we are referring to drinking, and this is a class of freshmen and sophomores, a.k.a. students that cannot legally drink. Prof G went on to tell us how she doesn't count Atlanta as a place she lived in because she was there for a year and doesn't remember any of it because she was drunk or hungover the whole time!
Today, she pulled out a dark wine bottle from her bag, a souvenir from Italy. This wine bottle had a bold picture of Adolf Hitler on the front with curvy script underneath reading "One Country. One Law. One Ruler." It was a bit nerve-wracking, but she was so gosh darn excited about it. No, she was not promoting Hitler or anything he stood for, but was trying to teach us to be open-minded when dealing with sociology. In truth, her initial reaction to seeing the bottle in Italy (this was in the year 2007) was "Holy f***!!!" Thankfully, she bleeped herself.
 This is something very abstract about this professor. I definitely want to get to know her better!
