I can't say I was driven to be a teacher. It's something that I kind of fell into. I was really interested in World History during school and that's what I majored in college.
However, there's not a big call for professional historians so I chose the academic route. I knew I didn't want to teach grade school or high school so it was on to my Master's and then my Doctoral degrees.
That was 25 years ago and the life has had its rewards. I met my wife, also a college professor, and we've been together now 15 years.
Right now, things are kind of rough though. Who am I kidding? They suck, especially now with me on leave and traveling across the country.
I've been blessed to have been offered a temporary spot at an Ivy League University. "Guest Professor" as you will. Last fall I was in the south and I'll be here just the spring semester. My wife is back home.
Needless to say, it kind of sucks. I haven't seen her in months, but even when I was with her last, all we did was fight. We fight a lot lately.
Anyway, as I said, being a university professor has its ups and downs. Tenure is great. Tenure and summer vacation. I really don't have to worry too much about my job, especially considering life out in the workforce and the economy these days.
The downside is that I'm supposed the produce research. Yuck! I'm supposed to be published. And teach! Now, don't get me wrong, teaching is rewarding and all but, seriously, some of these kids shouldn't be out of high school let alone in college. Our future! Be very afraid people.
As I was saying, there are a few perks that go with teaching, like the girls. I know I'm supposed to be above it all, the trusted position I've been put in and all of that, but I'm still a man. You have no idea the temptations that exist.
I was strong for the longest time and then one of my colleagues showed me a Playboy magazine, the college girl's issue. Sure enough, one of my students, Sarah, had her picture in there.
My God, the body on that girl! She hid it so well with those baggy clothes. Sarah certainly didn't look that good in my class. Seeing her naked like that was so incredibly hot. From then on, it's been a struggle for me.
I stand before 200 hundred students, lecturing in a large auditorium. Most of you have been to college and know the kind of room I'm talking about. Semi-circular, with set-back stadium seating that allows each student a clear view of me, down front and center.
Have any of you actually been down there when class is in session? Let me tell you what I see. At eye level are a couple of rows. It never fails. There's always some pretty girl, or girls, sitting there.
Invariably, one of them will wear a short skirt and, unconsciously or not, sit the whole class with their legs just kind of splayed open. Eye level! Mmmmmm, all the pussy's I've seen. Like I said, I'm still a man.
Of course, I've never acted on these urges. But it's hard, please excuse the pun, when one of these sexy little co-eds make's her way down to the lectern after class to ask me some benign questions. How does she expect me to focus after I've been staring at her sweet little pussy for the last 50 minutes? Sometimes I just have to go back to my office, close the door and jerk off.
That's how I got myself into this mess in the first place. Like I said before, I'm here without my wife. Our marriage isn't the greatest to begin with but at least I'd get sex every once in a while. But not now! Needless to say, I'm so horny I could bust.
Now, there are three types of girls in my classes. First, the pretty ones. They really need no further explanation. They're hot and every guy in the class would love to bang them.
Second, there are the ugly girls. The one's in class no guy wants to bang. Finally, the largest contingent is the regular girls. Over the years, I've found myself more and more attracted to the regular girls.
Because of Sarah I think. She was a regular girl but once I saw that body she kept hidden beneath those clothes, I find myself imagining what my other female students looked like. Girls like Dawn Sanders.
Dawn was in my 200 level European History class. She was an average student at best. Average looking too. Maybe 5-6, shoulder length brown hair done neatly, brown eyes behind dark framed glasses.
Since it was still winter, Dawn always wore sweatshirts or big sweaters under her overcoat, either with baggy jeans or sweatpants, so it was hard to get a read on her body. The typical college look for a typical girl.
Like I said, a regular girl. Her questions were neither provocative nor insightful. Really, sometimes you wonder why these kids are here, even if it is an Ivy League school.
During the fifth week of the semester, I had scheduled an exam. It was clearly identified in the syllabus so there should have been no confusion. Well, Dawn got confused.
She failed to show up for class that morning. Her and about 10% of the class. My experience has told me that these were the students who were dropping and sure enough they were. All that is, except for Dawn.
She came down to the podium after the next lecture when she realized she had missed the exam. She stood at the end of the line of questioning students, fidgeting as she waited for her turn. "Dr. Brown, can I speak with you for a second?" she asked.
Looking up at her as I gathered my paper I said, "Sure Miss. What can I do for you?" Her hair still had that freshly shampooed fragrance.
"Sanders. I'm Dawn Sanders. I'm sorry. I don't know how it happened, but somehow I screwed up and missed the test. Is there any way I can make it up?" Her eyes were frantic behind those dark glasses.
Now, I've heard just about every excuse there is for a student to miss an exam. Somewhere along the way, students think make-up exams are easier. They're not. They're just a pain in the ass for me and my TA's.
But, since I'm a visiting scholar this semester, I have no TA's. I have to grade all of my own tests and papers. BORING! And I really didn't want to go out of my way, especially for no reason. But, invariably, I had to ask, "Why did you miss the exam Miss Sanders?"
"I β I don't know Dr. Brown. I β I just missed my alarm and didn't wake up in time. I studied all night and fell asleep, right through the alarm and missed the test. By the time I woke up, you were already gone." She stood there, fidgeting wildly. I looked at her for a second. Her skin was pale but very smooth. In fact, her features were quite pleasant behind those glasses.
I stood there for a minute not saying anything. I just love that. Watching students squirm a little as the silence intensifies. The power; the control, it's very intoxicating. I stared at her for what seemed like forever. The more I looked, the prettier she got. She really was an attractive girl.
