Sooenn Park
From The Extended Group
Sooenn Park was a diminuitive, owl-like first-time TA for Jeremy and Kevin's political theory class in Spring 2004. Her thick Korean accent led to several amusing pronunciations of basic political lexicon, such as "puppet city" (perfect city) and "de-jires" (desires). Her teaching style was partially based around drawing unusual analogies between political principles and the furniture of the classroom. Strangely enough, Jeremy found these unusual analogies quite helpful and got a 4.0.
A typical day in class generally consisted of occasional discussion intermixed with incredibly awkward silence, during which Kevin would draw pictures of "Kalbi Bryant" and puppet cities, while Jeremy made periodic lunges at his thighs. The class itself contained several eccentric personalities, including a brash Indian man who was inexplicably named Jensen Jose, as well as a sorority girl named Ashley who frequently took potshots at Jeremy's political perspective.
