Introducing...PZ's Office Hours!


Everybody knows that one of the keys to a successful semester is stopping by your professor's office hours every once in a while to ask a question or just to let them know you exist. In that same spirit, I'm excited to announce that I'll be keeping office hours on campus this semester!

Monday mornings are tough. I'm going to do my part to help you get your week off on the right foot by being in Pekoe Coffee Shop in the ATLAS building on campus from 9.00am until 11:15am every Monday morning. I'll be there waiting for you to stop by to chat and/or to buy you a cup of coffee. 

If you ask professors about assignments and coursework, what would you talk to Pastor Zach about during office hours? Well, I'm glad you asked. Below is a list of acceptable topics for discussion during office hours this semester:
  • the mysteries of the universe
  • Roommates/Parents/Professors
  • The latest episode of Doctor Who.
  • Why the Old Testament is PZ's favorite.
  • The merits of the House of Lords.
  • College Basketball (other seasonally appropriate sports topics are ok.)
  • What's up with the bible? 
  • Maps
  • Why PZ is a pastor. 
  • Where is God in all of this?
  • The Wire/Curb your Enthusiasm/Homeland/Top Gear
  • Any Dave Eggers book.
  • Seattle-based Rap.
  • The banjo.
  • Why faith matters.
  • The merits of various forms of public transportation. 
  • How Manhattan is the greenest place on earth. 
  • Paradoxes.
  • Ralphie: great or greatest mascot?
  • Current events. 
  • Debate the best breakfast place in Boulder (the village, duh.)
  • Why PZ is always talking about baptism and the eucharist. 
(Please note this list is not all-inclusive, additional topics may prove acceptable. Feel free to request additional topics in the comments below or just show up and we'll talk.)

See you on Monday mornings!
Pastor Zach
