With just a couple of weeks before this semester finishes and I take a break from the soul-eating hell on earth peolpe calls "Law School" I'm actually growing a tiny bit nostalgic. I've had some good times here mixed in the with stress, brats and retards. I've also met some of my best friends here, learned a couple of important life lessons and listened to some really interesting people. I feel like writing down some of the more notable occurrences here, and it will probably be over a few blog posts. The first part will be about teachers.
In Sweden a semester is called a "Termin" and thus we call the first semester T1, 2nd T2 etc. Cronologically, with non notable teachers not mentioned, the list goes as follows:
T1: A big sized, not really fat but definitely not thin, tall man with what I can only guess is a heart of gold. Rumoured to have gotten his job purely due to a glitch in employment/labor law my first memory of him was when an older student heard that I'd have him and told me that 5 or 6 girls had asked to be transfered from his class last year due to him saying something like; "ohh guys, you know that with the new rape laws in Sweden you can be thrown in jail just by looking lustfully at some girl". He's really nice, but within a month he had probably said 30 things that would've gotten anyone else fired but since he's such a nice old man everyone assumes he's joking. I think he is too, but I'm not 100% sure. His favourite subjects to joke about includes France, women, journalists, contemporary culture and other teachers.
T2: Had a bunch of different teachers. One tried to look badass but lack of clothing sense and his weak ass personality made it hard. Some girl tried to teach a class of rightwing nutjobs labor law and hated us more for each week.
T3: Some Iron Man competitor. Didn't care for him much. Probably a decent human being.
T4: The T1 dude again. Plus some guy rumoured to have been sleeping with a lot of students. He's tiny and tries to look younger then he is, but other then that he seems like a good enough guys so I'm happy that he can still sleep with 20-something y/os with bad self-esteem.
T5: A couple of nice ladies in tax law, on of them tried to explain why it's technically correct to pay taxes on sales of light drugs but not hard drugs since it would otherwise screw up the tax-system as far as the Europeans Union's rules on the subject goes. The she got into the subject of prostitution and really lost me somewhere thinking about knockers instead of tax law.
We also had the only man who's ego was as big as his belly despite being a somewhat fat no body that no one "in real life" outside the universities seems to have heard about. Somewhat funny from time to time though.
T6: Lots of subjects, lots of teachers. A happy guy from Gothenborg, a really cool hippie, some angry girl, some nice girl and a bunch of nice geeks.
Honourable mention:
A professor who is know for trying to sell his books to stundent by any means possible, especially if they havn't got anything at all to do with whatever it is that he's teaching.
Another professor who legend has it threw his ring into the river and screamed "The law killed my soul!" when his wife left him. He's hilarious so I think it's true.
I had my best teacher so far on T1. He was funny and really knew what he was doing..
the rumour of the T4 guy could be true, haha he skipped some of our lessons due to a likely hung-over after some heavy partying (with students) the night before...
hehe the last quote is sad but pretty funny! I would have loved to see that scene!
Another professor who legend has it threw his ring into the river and screamed "The law killed my soul!" when his wife left him. He's hilarious so I think it's true.
Story became legend, legend became myth, and after two and a half thousand ml of vodka he had forgotten all about his wife (temporarily)...
Sorry, couldnt resist but couldnt manage to make up something more fun either. Atleast i tried
I like T1, i think i have a lecturer who is similar and often eloquently mocks the idiots in the class or when someone responds with the wrong/dumb answer... he gets away with it every time and people walk out pondering 'did he just bag me?'...
Although I'm also 90 percent sure he comes to class drunk,,,
muckv - i have an iq of 180 and i want someone to teach me how to take a shit IN the toilet.
Damn I'm glad to be out of that school but you have done the most retarded part now, on t7-t8 the teachers actually can be said to know the subject they're supposed to teach. Real big difference from some of the lame idiots who's only excuse to teach at t1-t6 is that they've fucked up school so hard that they didn't get a real job but still can't confess that for themselves and therefore they try to show off in front of some law-noobs...Really made me pissed sometimes when we had a fat-lady in her 30's teaching at T2 with knowledge amounting to the names of some applicable laws but most often they laws she namedropped were irrelevant and not to ´mention she didn't know how to interpret them...sucked pretty hard.
Also, you have got some of the stories wrong. But however they are partly true, like the last one that the proffessors wife left him for another teacher but it wasn't then he said that but instead when became dr.

Just fix them then. I've only heard like 1/3rd of them from you.
