In- Class Activity_2_27

A caramel-smelling professor's Facebook statuses and Twitter updates over the last 7 seconds: "Ladies and gentleman, I'm sorry to report this sad news. I cannot teach anymore. The reason of this sad decision is sudden decrease of eyesight. You must be curious why my eyesight suddenly decreased up to such a dire state. Well, it happened like this. This morning, I woke up to the beautiful song that I sang, as always. Then I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth- that was my biggest mistake. I looked at the mirror. It was just wonderful. My silhouette was filled with bright light and it was so bright that I almost couldn't open my eyes.
 Yes, I am a genius professor who is only 25 years old, and I am indeed handsome. I am always bothered by female students who try to appeal themselves to me as much as possible or always ask for my autograph.
 But I  never knew it would be like this! The sudden burst of light was due to my dazzlingly good looks. Because I was so handsome, I lost my sight. It's a crime to be too handsome.
 And I heard of a few students who became blind too. I had to pay for their surgery because I was the reason of their blindness. The total cost reached near three fourth of my annual payment I recieve for teaching. So now, instead of teaching, I decided to move to a new profession that will no longer hurt people, and moreover, pay for my accumulated debt! It will be lucurative business, but I will have to relinquish some of my prized virtues. 
 What came next to those updates is too gruesome to be retold word-to word. Almost every student read it were repulsed. Buzz of comments were instantly hanged to the post/ tweet. All in 7 seconds, you can see how viral it looks. 
 Almost half a day passed after I stopped writing the above. So many things happened. Students started to drop out of school, crying, " I have no reason to go to school anymore without Professor Lee!" So far, over two hundred students have dropped out. Also, a large number of student are changing their major.
 Then, someone suggested for everyone and the professor to wear sunglasses so that light shining from his face would no longer be a problem. But it wasn't enough. Even the tiny bit of his face was too brilliant.
