The normal topic of the lecture revolves around the activities of the local squirrels (and no, I'm not kidding). Frequently in class, he can be observed making statements such as "Das Eichhörnchen trinkt ein deutshes Bier" (the squirrel drinks a German beer), "Das Eichhörnchen freute sich über die Anklage von Scooter Libby" (the squirrel celebrates the indictment of Scooter Libby), et cetera.

When he's not lecturing about squirrels, he's lecturing on 1)his perverted version of Faust, which includes flaming black poodles:crazy:, or 2)Freud:crazy::crazy:.

Although I do find his occasional lectures on "der Faschist Bu$h" entertaining; at least we agree on something.:evilgrin:

OK, so today's assignment: read a Freudian theory handout, taken straight from a book Freud wrote, in German. Not even my tutor would be able to translate it directly. My German professor is officially bat$hit crazy.

So what the hell am I doing reading Freud's writings in German class? My tutor said, and I quote, "Having elementary or intermediate German students read Faust or Freud would be like having an ESL student reading Shakespeare. It just won't work."

I'm in Intermediate German I.:wtf:
