Sin Tacks

Sin tacks….err syntax, I never had such a difficult time studying any subject. T, our syntax prof is just too brilliant. He is undoubtedly a prodigy…a genius. He is so intellectual that his humor has the same essence…very subtle. Even his student-bashing is equally subtle. He asks us to make a tree diagram of ‘we are stupid’ to make us feel the same. His tone always remains so calm, so cool. Yet the girls have a crush on him (including me). He is so passionate about his subject that he gets sicken when his students do not reciprocate that fervor. But can’t he understand that not everyone has the similar passion for the subject. I’m passionate about education the same way he is fervent about syntax. This is the rationale behind my fondness for him. I don’t like his sarcasm but I like his persona…his mediocre height, his whiz kid looks, his subtle humor. But syntax is emphatically sin tacks for me!
