Class Art.

Its a term I first came up with while being a high on a coffee after feeling sleepy (a lethal combination for creativity, the sleep makes you not concentrate a lot on conforming to traditional boundaries in content and form of the expression, while the coffee-kick can make you believe that you really are doing something worthwhile and to carry on with it) in a lecture on transaction cost economics - ofcourse its relation to Information Systems (the coffee was bought and consumed in the mid-lecture 10-minute break). I graffiti-ed (scribbled, is a better term) on the paper coffee cup words and phrases that came to the mind within those few minutes. It was interesting to see the result later. From technical jargon being used in the class at that time, to current events (earthquake), to names or choruses of songs that were playing in my subconscious at that time.

Anyways, today, I was at it again. Not the coffee cups, but class art. The professor gave interesting examples in the lecture, and atleast in 3 instances I saw a student go out the lecture theatre right after an example. It might have been a co-incidence, but it certainly seemed that these people were taking offense to the examples - the guy in the second row walking out when drunk tourists not knowing how to get tube tickets were mentioned, another walking out when the instructor mentioned smart-bombing the alleged hub of all spam activity, in Florida, as a way to eliminate spam.

Hopefully there shall be more episodes of Class Art as we progress through the course.
