Jail

This week is Charity Week. Charity Week basically means that everyone pays to do all sorts of mean and not so mean things to each other. One of these things is jail. Jail is especially cool because you can put your professors in jail, and thereby get out of class. This happens on Thursday and Friday only. Every person in the class puts in a dollar, and the professor goes to jail!

First class of the day: Euclidian and non-Euclidian geometry. Dr. Phillips takes roll, then a lady comes in and mentions coffee and doughnuts. Apparently the professors have their own "jail" where they can sit and relax with treats.

Second class of the day: Mr. Golden, the theology adjunct who teaches my Understanding the Bible class, doesn't quite understand jail. He teaches for forty-five minutes, then we take him down, give the money to the lady, he gives her money to get out, and then leaves. I felt kind of bad about putting him in jail, because he really didn't understand it but he did it anyway....

There is a certain professor named Father McGuire. He does everything he can to resist being put in jail, and he actually gets put in the real jail. It takes about six people, if not more, to get him into the jail, and then he stages breakouts during which people get out, but get soaked in the process. This guy is definitely on the older side of middle-aged, but he still manages to give the jailers a hard time. It's amazing and quite amusing; he's become a legend when it comes to the Jail.

Third and last class of the day: Intensive Elementary German. Dr. Eidt goes willingly, on the condition that we take him to the jail while singing the German national anthem. This, we soon find out, means walking up and down the Mall twice while singing. Next to playing Pterodactyl in the Catherine common room, this is one of the craziest things I have seen college students do. So we do that, he goes off to jail, and I enjoy free time. We're doing it again tomorrow, as we have him every day.

Also, any illegal drug paraphernalia is now illegal on campus. This includes hookahs. Hookahs look like the pipe the caterpillar smokes in Alice in Wonderland. The substance smoked in them on this campus is apparently not illegal. There are at least two or three on campus that I have seen. Anyway, hookahs are not allowed as of today and it makes me laugh, because a noticeable amount of people smoked from them in obvious places.

That's all for now!
