You changed majors because of a professor's accent?

no cuz i couldnt find any professor i could understand to teach the class, the previous semester i had enrolled in calc 3 and ended up dropping it cuz the professor had to be pumped full of air every 5 minutes by his brother/mom who would wheel him into class each day

and that was the what i considered the first of the "real" math classes, which led me to believe i shouldn't major in math, lol
