You gotta love community colleges- they're just so different from traditional research universities. The students are even more so.
Some things I overheard this week (so far):
What's a personal check?
Dat pack be for English class?
I was in da street and day tried to hit me with they car.
I had a fake ID, but it expired.
Them: How much will that cost?
Me: I don't know, and won't know until I finally hear back from the publisher.
Them: When will that be?
Me: I don't know. I've been waiting for three weeks on one article.
Them: But the professor said I could get this at [store name].
Me: And you will, after I hear from the publisher. Your professor has been notified about this.
Them: So you don't know how much it's going to be? Not even an estimate?
Me: I don't give estimates. I give exact prices after I hear back from publishers.
Them: What should I tell my professor?
Me: Tell him to check his voicemail.
