I was thinking about this the other day. I was at Kstate for 5 years. I can probably count on 1-2 hands the amount of meaningful classes that meant something to me or I can remember off the top of my head: ECON, Mass Comm 101 (Smethers), Human Sexuality, Drugs and Behaviors, Natural Disasters, American Music, and most of my tv/radio classes. The rest is a blur. I mean I know I pak'd a lot, but is this common?

Although I'm still in school, I would bet I can name literally every class I've taken at KSU.

I would imagine that once you get pretty old, like you, Fanning, things would get blurry.

Natural Disasters, Short Stories, World War I.

I remember more classes but those stick out.

steve dave · « **Reply #3 on:** January 11, 2012, 01:01:07 PM »

Yeah, I can probably name every class I took and most that I dropped prior to the cutoff date.

I imagine I could name just about every course I took but don't actually remember taking the vast majority. I do remember some nutrition classes, A&P, Macro/Micro... yeah, that's about it.

I can prob list them all from the point I chose my major on, and 90% of the ones prior to that.

Oh man 1st semester of freshman year I forced myself to take Public Speaking out of the gate to open up

. My first speech was over Saved by the bell and "where are they now"? I got a lot of

. And after that College was my bitch.

Fantastic speech topic, would loved to have seen it. I also remember pretty much every class I took at KSU. Really soaked in the EMAW. Sorry you don't remember much fanning. T's & P's

My favorite speech I gave freshman year was about how much the BCS sucks and how there should be a playoff instead. I totally forgot about doing a visual aid so an hour before class I just found two pieces of posterboard and made them say this:

Bogus
Crappy
Series

and

People
Love
America's
Youngsters
On
Football
Fields

But your Saved By The Bell speech sounds pretty elite as well, wish I could've seen that. And yes I would guess I could also name at least 90% of my classes.

Took public speaking II with Kim Reilly (Riley? whatever). Guy has four fingers (on one hand - nine total) and my word, that was the easiest class I ever took in college.

One of my classmates gave an instructional speech on how to shoplift beer from Walmart.

Everything that has been said in this thread makes me think being a speech professor would actually be the best job you could have in academia, not the worst.

Had Public Speaking with Justin Montgomery. Minimum length for our speech was 5 minutes. His lasted 25 seconds.

On average, he took 3 smoke breaks per class.

Night class, man. Totally different universe.

Had a girl in my speech class get up there and freeze for about a minute. Most awkward 60 seconds of all of our lives, I'd wager. Was horrifying, especially when she just turned and bolted out the door and you could hear her wailing out in the hallway. It's like.....chill out! It's fracking Speech!

I took my public speaking class at JCCC, and it was taught by some random former FM DJamer guy.

I took Comp 1 at JCCC there too, and I remember one of the morons asked the teacher "Why do chicks dig jungle fever?" Johnson County, so

Took that class too. Had 4 other bros in the class where we figured it would be a great idea to do our first speech over Squirrels.

Kim Reilly is very possibly the best darts player in Manhattan. BAR ONE OR TWO ON THE RIGHT NIGHT AND THE RIGHT BOARD. BAR VERY, VERY FEW IS WHAT I AM SAYING HERE.

We should start an MHK goEMAW darts team and enter the torn-a-ments at Fat's or wherever. We'd probably lose, but we could hang our hat on out-paking and out-angering everyone else.

On topic: I could probably name every class I took at K-State by semester, and that is quite a few classes.
