Throwing Ceramics Sounds Like Fun- in Theory!

Failed Monster Pot-- Day 2 of ceramics
So, I'm in a ceramics class... Clearly, I am no ceramics prodigy. My two friends who I see every day, Noah and Andrew are also no ceramics prodigies. Therefore the entire class is filled with "Your Mom" jokes, "So is your face" jokes, "That's what she said" jokes and "Ghosting" jokes. It's basically three hours of insults around while creating "things" out of clay. 

A girl from my Textiles class who is a ceramics major mentioned that once you get into "throwing," the class is much more fun. My immediate thought involved me throwing all my ceramics pieces at a wall. That *did* sound rather fun! Unfortunately, "throwing" refers to spinning clay on a wheel and making vases and pots and useless stuff. 

So far I have made a pot shaped like a monster, a cat bowl, a square flower pot that says "Flower Pot" on the side, a sort of replica of Winnie The Pooh's "Hunny Pot" and a maraca.... I am dying inside.
