I really need to mark this as a landmark in my university life:

Adventures of Having Classes with Sou.

Prof: I really can’t explain this (The Cooperative Principle in Discourse Analysis) to a five year old.
Sou: Yeah, unless he’s a prodigy or something..
Prof: From India perhaps!
*Sou turns around and shares a look with Amethyst who gasps, then they both start laughing*

Prof is explaining something about pronounciation in Phonetics and says a word we don’t know. Sou takes out her dictionary and points out “viagra.”

Sou: Why do we have viagra in the dictionary?
Amethyst: Because there’s people who might not know what it is!
*Laughter*
Sou: Men have something similar to PMS!
Me: WHAAAT?! Where?
*Sou points out IMS in her dictionary. Both share a look of pure evil then laugh.*

Amethyst has been trying to tell Sou an incident for ten minutes, wedging in a sentence every pause in the discussion. Near the end of the salfa:

Amethyst: So the text message says, “I wish I could just smell your panties.”
*Sou turns around to face Amethyst and has the equivalent of a gasp on her face. They both crack up until they are out of breath continuously for the next ten minutes.*

Phonetics, again.

Amethyst: Sir, fronting a back vowel and vice versa? Huh? I don’t get it.
Prof: Yes, for example: oo-ee-oo-ee-oo-ee-oo… *looking ridiculous*
Amethyst: Sounds like an ambulance!
*Sou turns around and gives Amethyst a you-did-not-just-say-that look and both crack up*

Prof (addressing Sou): I feel sorry for the man who’s going to end up with you.
Sou: That was mean and hurtful, but I’m going to continue making my point. Whoo-sah. So, as I was saying..

Prof: Playwrighter‘s of that age blah blah blah..
*Amethyst thinking, “playwrightER?!” turns to Sou*
Sou: Shut up.
Amethyst: I didn’t say anything!
Sou: But you were going to.
Amethyst: No, I wasn’t!
Sou: Well, you thought it!

Walking out of class.

Amethyst: UGH! Mali khelg I do the response. Did you see how many pages we have to read?
Sou: Did you see the size of the text?! It’s insanely small! Teez el-namla!

Regarding teez el-namla, in class:

Prof: …being part of an ant colony…
*Amethyst shares a look with The Archer. Both crack up. Amethyst looks at Sou, “Psst, ANT colony?” Sou cracks up.*

Prof: You need to learn how to dress (hint goes to student wearing a t-shirt with a practically naked man on it) and talk (hint goes to Sou and Amethyst) appropriately in class.
Sou (talking to the student wearing the t-shirt with the muscled man wearing briefs and standing on a ball): Yeah, why are you wearing that?
Student: It’s Marc Jacobs.
Sou: Right. It’s Marc Jacobs. But it doesn’t say Marc Jacobs, who would know?
Student: I would.

There are definitely more and more to come, but I’ll stop here;p

.

[UPDATE]

.

Today, prof asks a question:

.

Student: Let’s go and talk about it on coffee.

Amethyst *to Sou*: Yeah, so let’s get sacks of coffee, sit on them, and talk.

Sou: No, we should get our actual mugs and sit on them!

Amethyst: Yeah, cuz they won’t be up our @$$3#!

.

.

Regarding, teez el-namla (again), prof is talking about writing a poem about an ant:

.

Prof: It’s an ant. I can’t write about an ant!

Sou *looking through the textbook at the insanely small text*: I can write about ants.

Amethyst: No, you can write about certain parts of ants.

.

.

Regarding Indian child prodigy, different class:

.

Student: You know, on the news there was this 9 year old Indian boy who can perform surgeries…

*Amethyst and Sou share a knowing look and burst into laughter*
