The Ugly Truth About Hiking
It must be a liberal arts hobby.
I joined the hiking club as soon as I came to this university, and they've only been on three hikes since I've been here. And guess what... all the hikes are on Friday! No weekend adventures... it's only for those liberal arts students who are taking lame classes that let out on Friday.
And don't bother suggesting that I go out on my own... I don't have a car. I don't do hikes, I just walk to other places in the city.
On the other hand, I'm taking Astronomy 101, a class designed for non majors. It's easy for me, because I've already taken my physics courses and did research on astronomy outside of school, but it's fun to see the liberal arts students squirm as they try to understand basic science.
"Okay, so the most common type of stars are the M5s, which are the low mass red stars. Our sun is in the middle of the main sequence, and is much larger than M5s."
*immediately to student* "What is the size of the most common type of star?"
"Um... as big as the sun?"
If only I was competing in my harder classes against these people...
