Vanderbilt University closes Learning Lab
Vanderbilt - BVD News , In a totally unexpected announcement , Vanderbilt said it will shut down the Learning Lab. BVD rushed over to Kirkland to find out why.
receptionist Barbie : Can I help you ?
BVD : I'd like to talk to someone about the learning lab being shut down
Barbie : I'm sorry , it's Friday , I'm the only one here on Fridays.
BVD : OK , I'll talk to you. Why is the learning lab being shut down ?
Barbie : Well , that's a no brainer question. You see , it's like this. The students don't have time to learn much these days. What with Greek Week , Pledge Week , Freshman Week , Rites to be a Geek Week , Party Week , Rites of LAMBDA Week , LAMBDA Potter Farm Party Week , Rites to be Gay Week , Rites of Fall Week , Rites of Party to Party Week , Rites of Christmas Week for those not Christian , Rites of Four Weeks for Christmas/New Years for Christians , Rites of Spring Week , Senior Week , Rites of Graduation Week , Rites of Summer Week , Mid-Term Summer Vacation Week , August Welcome Aboard Week , Rites of Football Season Week , and Rites of Basketball Season Week . Let's see , did I miss anything ?
BVD : Woow , how do the students have time for tests , study class material , write reports , you know , how do they learn and make grads ?
Barbie : The undergraduate programs have been redesigned to get the students out of the classroom and see the world of Vanderbilt and Vandyland , afterall , there's a lot to see here under the bubble. It's important for everyone to see historic Nashville before it gets gobbled up.
BVD : OK , butt what about classes , grades , studying , all that traditional learning stuff ?
Barbie : Not a problem. The students have Direct TV to Test Files , Direct email to professors in charge of test files , Direct Text Messaging to professors hoarding test files , test file video conferencing , test file Blackberries , Direct Ipod to test files , free MP3 downloads of test file data banks featuring a dancing Garfield , Special Education Professors for students who can't read test files in English , we even have CD's for HD TV test files on the go for those who don't have time to sit down and study , and new for this year , we have cell phone photo test file downloads
BVD : WOW , Now , I'm impressed. What will happen to the learning lab building ?
Barbie : That will be converted to the party hall in case of rain.
