I'm in class (brand management). it's a full house, sixty people. this is supposed to be one of the best classes in the program.

people waitlist to take it.

*nobody* is paying attention. we're all on laptops, obvs, so some of us are shopping, some are reading news. freaking halima sitting next to me has her phone out and is texting.

I'm not paying attention. I'm daydreaming instead. my rule is "ask one question per class to maximize class participation grade."

are we learning anything here besides how to speak the language?

Sounds like the professor has established a great but undeserved brand for his class. -- nm - Inigo Oct 27, 08:15 3
- he has brand confusion. he refers to himself as "uncle ralphie" and signs email "ralph" but freaks out if we don't address him as dr. oliva. what?? -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 27, 08:21 1

well, there IS a catch... you will all get branded before you leave -- nm - Cowboy Co-teacher Oct 27, 08:15
take you clothes off and talk about the mandy brand -- nm - zork Oct 27, 08:14
But if you're shopping for brand name merchandise then you're actually participating, see? -- nm - JCVDano Oct 27, 08:13 5
- I'm laughing. I'm shopping for tea and can't decide between stash and bigelow. stash is prettier and has a cooler name but bigelow tastes better. -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 27, 08:14 4
  - Put the bigelow in a stash box. -- nm - Amy Oct 27, 08:18
  - Extra credit if you buy based on branding over quality. -- nm - JCVDano Oct 27, 08:17 1
    - it's weird how aware I am of why I buy now. "the box is prettier." -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 27, 08:20
  - in the end the taste (and aroma) is what actually satisfies you -- nm - zork Oct 27, 08:15
