My Sesh

Now at the end of my formal schooling I reflect back at the teachers and schools of my past. I had teachers that I have loved and teachers that I have equally hated. Some got the most out of me and other just got what comes out of me (shit). I have been challenged and pushed to my mental limits by some topics and courses and have passively went through others (note to readers: I just took a break to play freecell and rocked it). In the spirit of graduation and yearbooks, the rest of this entry will be a list of superlatives, both funny and serious, of the teachers that I have had.
Teacher that I would like to buy a beer for: 3-way tie Pete Frengel (12th grade English) - plays the guitar and was probably a great wingman in his day before the loss of hair; Brendan Goff (frehman year history class, American Empire) - speaks his mind and would stay out till the bars closed, could convince the waitress to quit and join the peace corps; Dwight Forester (High School principal)- Mr. Forester played professional basketball overseas and was over 6'5 and 400 pounds, he could probably take down an entire bottle of tequila without feeling anything..also smoked blunts on the reg.
(another freecell another victory)
Most Boring: N. Konforti (Tel Aviv University - Isreali Companies Prof) lets just say that falling asleep, cellphone snake and sudoku took up most of my times
Most of my college professors could fit this category. Mostly because lecturing infront of a group of students is not that stimulating, and the topics were of little to no interest to me.
Most likely to quit teaching: Elana Charles - Mrs. Charles is what we call mentally unstable. She is always saying she is going to quit but never mans up.
Most Down to Earth: Never knew what this means in high school yearbooks and still am a little fuzzy. Ralph Williams - Professor Williams (said in a slight British accent, ye ne) is a teacher who is interested and deeply involved with his students. Anyone who has had the privalege to take any of his courses knows his unique teaching style but is also moved to try harder and actually do all the readings, so to be a part of the conversation with Williams.
Most Likely a Teacher by day stripper by night (Varsity Blues Award): Kelly Schall, don't know her married name, but this guidance counsler was the source of many a wet dream for Susquehanna Township males in grades 9-12. She had a slamming body and a look that is a hybrid of catholic girl and all business.
Most Likely CHCHChillin: Mr. Locust and Coach Cook - these two gym teachers were strait chillin on the L during school and had a sweet jump shot.
