Fall 2013: My Professors are GRU!

Welcome to Fall! Where the leaves are crisp, and all I want to do is make something with Pumpkin Spice in it. Oh, and school has started again! 

We have two classes this semester: Business Research and Operations Management. 

The first, Business Research, is taught by Dr. Larry L. Carter. He's a 5th degree black belt in Kajunkenbo. If you think that sounds like someone just sneezed when they were saying Karate...you'd be right. It's a mix of Karate, Judo, Boxing, Jujitsu, and Kung Fu. He told us he was assigned to teach our class 6 weeks before the semester. No worries, he's young, and he's probably going to be a total push over. Just a chance to work on people skills. #amiright

Also, he has a prominent uni-brow. 

The second, Operations Management, is taught by Dr. Cenk Çalışkan. Oh yeah, he totally has an Eastern Slavic accent. No joke. I can't even say his name. But he has the most charming accent, and no one has idea what he is saying. Good thing this class has tons of math stuff in it. 

Also, he has hair so beautiful, I have made it my mission this semester to find out if it is a wig. 

I am excited about classes this semester, because I think I will actually stay awake, and I really want to learn more about Operations Management. 

So you put uni-brow and Slavic accent together, and what do you get? 

FREAKING GRU. FROM Despicable Me. 

                                 

This is when I realized that my professors are pretty much Gru: 

Whadditity eeeep eeep ooo?
