2. Colloquium professor: "But when Godzilla comes, all you can do is yell 'AAAAH GOJIRA' and run, right? [to our Tokyo-born sound design grad student] Right, Hidenori?"
   Hidenori: "Right."


3. Shakespeare professor: "Remember, guys, class is cancelled on Friday because of the OMFG-20." oh my GOD SHE IS THE BEST. WANT TO GROW UP TO BE HER.
