And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Basketball Physics (the physics class so easy even the basketball players could pass)

I think all universities have one class like that. I can't remember what the actual course was at NU because I never took it (being in the School of Speech and having no math requirement), but it was widely known among the CAS students as Math For Trees.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have to confess that it didn't occur to me that history would be an easy major, until I saw half of the football team there at graduation. (The dumber half. The smarter half were in business, sciences, whatever.)

My head is swimming with the research I did today for my Electronic Publishing class. However, I will share with you an undergrad experience I had just before I quit school for a year. I had a Shakespeare final, which I was completely unprepared for having done none of the reading and missing most of the classes. Bad bad bad. Here's where it gets worse. I was sitting on campus looking at some notes to try to cram for the final when a really cute guy I had my eye on for a while came up and started a conversation. He proceeded to ask me to dinner (my class was a night class). I was like sure (fuck it, right?) and as we walked off campus, I passed my Shakespeare professor. If only he knew I am now a grad student at UCLA! Hahahahahaha!

The two easy courses at our university were Geology 100, known as Rocks for Jocks, and a Sociology course on Deviance, which was nicknamed Nuts and Sluts.

I'm sure there were some courses with an easy rep, but I didn't know about them. Easiest I took was American History, but again, because I'd had a more thorough version earlier. I mean, I took art history (the one I blew off) as an easy course, and had to write several papers that were actual work.

The physics department taught what was informally known as "Physics for people who hate it" that was actually a neat class. It was very hands-on and real world scenarios. It was pretty popular. I used to listen in when I was working in the lounge next door. Ocassionally, us majors would get roped into helping out. Usually holding some contraption in an awkward position and getting mocked.

It was a great department.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But you still want to, don't you?

Oddly fascinating, if a little repellant

Nah. I don't like tomatoes, and the glowing doesn't make it seem any tastier. Wouldn't mind having one lying around on the counter, though.

Now the mushrooms look nasty. I wouldn't have guessed those were healthy specimens.
