Professor Phillips

Our media department was looking for some law students to pose for a law school pamphlet and I thought it would be fun.

As compensation they were giving out $20 gift certificates to the local mall.

I'm used to being one of the older students in all of my classes and I'm used to be asked if I'm a member of faculty when I go to the uni's medical center so when they said they didn't have anyone to pose as a professor I gladly volunteered.

I was having one of those days where I feel all puffed out but I sucked in as much as I could and struck various poses with a collection of papers.

My fellow students looked on in feigned enthrallment while I pulled faces that felt maternal.

I was told to put my hair behind my ear so they could see my face so I'm sure you can see my graying temples. Yay.

I kept trying to strike casual poses (cause I'm the cool teacher who get's the kids of today) and I was told to straighten up.

"So sorry, I'm a natural leaner," I said.

I was next directed to gaze at a spot where an imaginary student named "Stephen" was standing.

"Oh Steve, you card."

I feel like I just got memorialized as the dowdy professor who is really into cats and crafting.

Can't wait to wince at the results.

I took my giftcard and went to see Ghost in the Shell at the mall.
