Cal, are you frustrated film major? I get a chuckle out of these. I like how perky they are in the start of semester vlogs, and then how it just goes RIGHT DOWNHILL!
Normally, I can't stand these things, but this one was worth watching, just for the sheer inanity. And watching they guy in the background methodically chug wine while listening to whine.

Yeah, I'm with Dr. Nathaniel. Usually, the hours and hours Cal puts into making these college themed videos just for this blog, are just completely wasted on me. I wish he'd just put his head through a glass window than make another.
Indeed. Not being one of those proffies in whom students generally confide (thank goodness), it's handy to get some sense of how they behave when . . .I was going to say no adults are watching, but that isn't quite right (even leaving aside the fact that they are, technically, adults themselves). Who's supposed to be the audience here, anyway, I wonder? Do they watch each other's vlogs? Are they really just journals?
That was AWESOME! I bet the drunken-idiot English-Secondary Ed major becomes an administrator someday soon. That Chick Fil A girl was pretty great, too. You just don't see narcissism like that every day. Oh, wait...

Yep. That bitch'll be Senior Vice Resource Manager for Student Learning Assessment. She'll make $120,000 / year sending the rest of us e-mails about how we need to all work to catapult retention indicators by leveraging our synergies toward more student centered teaching.
She may, if her chances of getting onto the first rung of the ladder (you need at least a year in the classroom to become an administrator, right?. . .right?) aren't torpedoed by the fact that there's a video of her on the internet with a half-naked guy getting drunk in the background. The contrast between her '50s-retro oh-so-innocent flowered peter-pan collared blouse and sweater and her companion's rapidly-deteriorating state is, well, interesting.
OMG, this was like sitting in my office during conferences listening to students give me excuses about why they couldn't write their papers. Tripped over a hole?
Some of my students did video presentations, but these were way more entertaining and full of intellectual content. The guy who talked about how he was doing a class about how to give a speech was awesome, as was naked dude and hair girl.

ReplyDeleteBut this one was okay.
Well done!
Not to worry, anyone. I make the videos for fun. It's not a sociological experiment, and I don't base my self-worth on it.
ReplyDeleteIf the consensus is they're no good, just let me know.
Cheers,
Cal
no, they are awesome! keep em coming!
DeleteI like 'em. Keeps me in touch. When I see them, it's like, oh my god, y'know? It's like, you know, like, it's just really, like, oh my god. Y'know?

DeleteIn any case, I enjoy listening in. Thanks, Cal!

DeleteI loved the, "I made a Vlog, but I didn't get around to posting it." It sounds like every one of my student's excuses.
ReplyDeleteCal is pure genius. I could watch one of these every day. Thanks for doing it.

ReplyDeleteDon't stop making these, Cal. This one was a thing of beauty.
