class.
4:44pm Geek walks with Dr. Wiggs over to Whitt Hall, then goes to his
International Managment class.
5:03pm Classmates begin giving poorly prepared presentations on various
countries. The fact that most of these were done in about 1-2 hours would be
obvious to a high-schooler. Frustrated that people are not taking a 300 level
class as seriously as they should, starts heckeling the presenters with trick
questions. Example: one classmate said that Italy imported 5 percent of their
imports from O-P-E-C. Geek asked at the end of the presentation "So what do you
think Italy imported from the O P E C." She didn't know. To her, O P E C were
just letters, not the acronym for Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries
(O.P.E.C)... the ONLY import Italy brings in from OPEC is fuel.
