Re: True things heard at college.
Ah, yes...I found another today. I'm in music appreciation, and we're covering the renaissance. The professor talks about how composers, at the Catholic Church's request, simplified the vocals so that listeners could understand the words. One person asked why it wouldn't be the problem of the people to know the words. True exchange, I swear:
Professor: What if you've been going to church your whole life and couldn't understand the words?
Student: Then you're going straight to hell.
Who knew that those hundred-people classes could be so interesting?
(and a word for you high school students: I currently take five classes. One has a hundred people. One has a smidge less than that. My speech class is around 20 for the actual speaking and practice and such, but for lectures a few other sections sit in and the auditorium fills to about 100. My remaining classes all hover around 20. So it isn't too bad.)
