penni, I knew you were not implying that. As a matter of fact I did realize that the professor was a real prick. He was grading Spanish MBA papers and I noticed that he had a heavy hand with the red pen. Although I do not read or speak spanish, I was looking at the papers (why is reading always fun when reading over someone else's shoulder? have you ever ridden the subway regularly?) and thought they were ok. I questioned him as to why he was ripping them apart and he explained that all of the Mexican elite that attend college seem to think that they deserve good grades just for being in "class". I told him that he was full of shit. Just because the students were re-phrasing his questions and defining what they were going to say, he saw this as fluff. I saw this as they weren't stroking his ego and therefore paid the price. I found in college most professors subjective judgement to be strongly influenced by how much one agreed with them and how much students parroted the philosophies that they presented in class. Nothing like a good math class that cannot be graded subjectively!! Thank you for your response - as always - delightful reading Tom PS What intrigues me is the fact that there may be an infinite number of universes and our individual actions move us from one universe to another every waking moment.
