I am studying abroad at AUC this semester. For those of you who are not familiar with the acronym, it stands for American University in Cairo - Do not be misled by the name, the school is hardly American (many of the staff hardly speak English), it is not in Cairo (rather an hour bus ride away in New Cairo), and for reasons I will discuss further in this blog, it fails to be a university - In an attempt to admonish the true culprits, I will cry out: It is not the professors who are at fault! Every professor that I have this semester are superb, yet despite their best efforts there are those who bring down the professors' best intentions and sanity in a burning heap - yes, they are the AUC students themselves, not all, oh no of course not all, but such a sheer force of stupidity cannot be looked over without the palm firmly planted over one's face. What should we expect from the many many rich, money-for-grades, and lazy Egyptian undergraduates that roam the halls of AUC?
Here I shall dispel the many many conversations that I am forced to listen to in class.
God help your sanity.
