made me think of Dr Nelson
my first semester of college
I was picking
what the f*CK ever I wanted
& I picked
intro to ETHICS
over time
I took more classes from him
than anyone except
Sandy Frieden*
*German film
I haven't thought about him for a little while
BUT
I really loved him
I mean not in any sort of crush-y way
he was just an excellent person
AND
I use that AH HA moment story
a lot
it was an IMPORTANT moment
BUT
ALSO
he was my faculty advisor
HE WAS where I got
OR MAYBE NOT
he would be philosophizing
people would be scribbling frantically
& he would pause
REALIZE he had been LIKE
making
UNCHALLENGED statements
for quite a while
he would STOP
and say
OR MAYBE NOT
which was an
INVITATION to challenge
BUT
I always heard people
CROSSING OUT
like WTF
I guess THIS is NOT on the final
& it amused me
I was trying to find out
SOMETHING about him now
BUT
I found a thing from 2012
he was one of the retired professors
granded emeritus status
there was a picture of him
I KNOW I wanted to go to a better school
BUT
I feel like a got a lot
out of the education I had
AND
he was definitely
one of the stars
