PFFFFT I THINK I'M STARTING TO LOVE COLLEGE
I dunno if she's spoken at any of your schools, but I attended a presentation called "R.E.S.P.E.C.T, Find Out What it Means at (college name omitted)" done by Dr. Cullen. And the presentation on it's own was amusing enough. However, two things in particular just made me giddy.
1) There wasn't enough seating in the ballroom, so there was a second room adjacent to it with a projector and video camera that was allowing us to see what was happening. I was sitting there. And she called us the little Satellite group. Which made me just go "EEEEEEEE" mentally. And we were alll getting into our little Satellite pride and everything. lD
2) This happened later on. The whole idea of the presentation was talking about diversity and how people can isolate others by certian factors. One of the last ones discussed was sexuality. She was talking about the conversation that she was having with her mom in which she finally blurted out that she was a lesbian. She mentioned that her mother said, "Oh haven't you heard about your cousin? He's gay too." "Naw," Dr. Cullen said. "Yeah, it's true, your aunt told me. "
The amusing thing came right after this. Dr. Cullen was all "Huh, I thought I was able to pinpoint these people, seeing as I am one and all. But the Gaydar just missed a few blips!"
I lost it. I lost it. I melted into a puddle of squicky glee right there. lD
I love college.

You're presentation sounds better then mine, the Seniors had to sit on the floor and everybody spent half the time upset or crying because a well loved teacher was leaving D:
I loled at the cousin joke

She even wrote a popular book. I think it was called "Thirty-Five Dumb Things Well-Intended People Say". And she was HILARIOUS.
I lawled real hard. A lot of people did, and I wondered how many of them were Abridged Series watchers. lD
D: Yours really does sound sad. There actually were a small bundle of people sitting on the floor, but the presentation was aimed for Freshmen and the only Seniors there were "Woolies", our guides. :D
