Beware of the "...or something"
My SC ED 276 class ended today...after 4 hours every morning, from 8-12 for the past two months, I'm finally done. The class was actually a good one, and I really enjoyed it, but 4 hours every day sort of starts to suck your life away, you know?
Anyway. For about the last two months, my teacher has been saying, "Well, on that last day of class, we'll have to have pizza or something." The entire class was under the impression that today, we were having a pizza party or something.
Well, it turns out, we did have a little bit of a party--some girl in the class brought in some pumpkin cookies, and we talked about good teachers, we got a poem or two, it was tender.
Suddenly, the Professor says, "Well, the university says I have to give you one of these." Then, he hands each of us a 5 page essay final.
What? This was not a golden crust topped with saucy, cheesy, pepperoni-y goodness! This wasn't even edible! The class looked around as if it were a joke, and then the Professor walked out the door, told us to leave the tests on the table, and told us that he cared about us.
"Or Something" apparently = unnannounced final. Watch for it.

Wow...that's quite the "or something." I can't say I would have ever expected that. I hope someone had the gumption to draw a picture of a pizza on their final.
Nothing says "I care about you" like a surprise 5 page essay final. That is so not cool. But it makes for a great story.
You should throw your own pizza party.
I'll even bring drinks. ;)
Yikes how awful. I'm sure you did amazingly well, though. You're great.
I guess "what happened?" pretty much is summed up with that. Sorry that's so bad.
I had the opposite luck. When my teacher said we would have pizza or something on the last day, we had pizza and were allowed to do our multiple-choice final in groups. Yeah, it was pretty much the best thing ever.
