How did your referat go?

I didn't get to give my referat, because we didn't have time for me to give it. The professor just totally forgot about my referat, so I'll have to do it next week. And I stayed up all night working on my referat!

Bachelor of arts, fine arts. Unlike a BFA fine arts degree, a BAFA curriculum includes liberal arts general education requirements.

BAFA degrees, curriculums, students and alumni can also be simply called BAFAs.
BAFAs have to take science, literature, and foreign language courses.

BAFAs often have crappy senior shows.

Don't be a BAFA student, you fucken moron.
