Professors: Lecture is a Bedtime Story

In second semester this year, we began our only single semester paper: Poultry, Fish, and Wildlife Management and Disease. It has a fancy name, but the class is really relaxing. The topics are very different and thoughtful and involve a lot of guest speakers. For example, we had two lectures on zoo medicine, a lecture by a lady who went to work with fur seals in some very exotic places only accessible by boat, and some thoughtful lectures on wildlife reservoirs of scary human diseases. We recently had a lecture on care of aquarium fish, we talked a bit about toxins in the food chain, and we even had some lectures on how to tell which predator killed an animal. (In case you are wondering, it involves clues from what organs/areas, if any, were eaten, and measuring the distance between puncture marks from the canine teeth).

I am not sure how to convey this in writing, but our lecturer's voice is like a lullaby. He's got this wonderful soft, soothing voice. It doesn't matter what he says, it sounds like a bedtime story.
