Pizza...or Something

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.
