la_belle_laideAaaand today was my first day at the second trimester. It was pretty decent. A&P2 is suitably challenging and Eastern Nutrition incredibly depressing as we discuss all the many, many ways we kill ourselves with food.
I got my grades and they were as follows: C&P - B
PA - B+ (that's the one where I missed about three - four classes O_O )
A&P - A
Chemistry - A
Intro to OM - A
Intro to herbs - A- (I must have screwed up the final pretty badly to get the A - because all of my other tests have been straight 100's plus extra credit. To my credit, I took that final on the day my Gran was coming home from the hospital for the last time; I finished it in twenty minutes.)
I saw my chemistry teacher from last semester before I got my grades back and I asked him how I had done. He was like, "Oh, you got an A. In fact," (I kid you not!!) "there was a slight curve on the final; you got a 99. You only got one question wrong."
O_O
Now, once again, to clarify: this is prerequisite chemistry, it is nothing super advanced and biochem isn't until another two semesters I think. But still, seeing as how I failed chemistry in high school and I was so afraid of it, so sure at the beginning of the trimester that I would fail it, I was pretty happy. I know that this is kid's stuff to everyone else, and there's probably not a person in my age group who didn't know the form and function of, like different, benzene rings by now, but the point is that I didn't and I thought I never would. So I know it's not a big deal or anything, but I was just happy that I not only got through it but that I did well. I'm not trying to be all "oh look at me, I aced chemistry" because like I said, this is kid's stuff to most people. But it was totally new to me.
Okay, but I have to mention this one guy. Everyone knows the old idiom that the only stupid question is the one you don't ask, right? Well, wrong. There are stupid questions, and they come from stupid people and that's all there is to it. First of all, this guy keeps on interrupting the professor to tell him that he is not teaching the course the right way. "Can you, like, shorten the lectures so that we can get out early? I have to go to the gym." "Could you maybe juts teach us the stuff that's going to be on tests? I don't want to over-study." "Last semester the teacher told us all this stuff, and not even half of it was on the final." The professor actually told him, "Look, calm down. It's going to be okay." He even said he would give hints as to what questions to look for on tests, midterms, finals etc. Then every time the professor would switch slides to move on and this guy wasn't finished writing, he'd go, "Tch!" or actually say, "Oops! I guess you took that one down too fast."
Stupid son of a bitch moron!
But that wasn't his stupid question, believe it or not! His stupid question came during the overview of the endocrine system (which we are doing in detail the next two weeks.) The professor was discussing oxytocin and the effects it has on the uterus during childbirth. Please bear in mind that there was no way to mis-hear or to misunderstand this, as there was a huge slide of a uterus up on the screen, with the word "UTERUS" under it. Can you picture it? So the professor is discussing how oxytocin affects contractions in the uterus and this guy asks:
Is that why you have to go to the bathroom a lot?
Well, we were all flummoxed and the professor didn't quite know what to say. He stammered out a, "Well... no. That's a uterus." But the guy still didn't get it and asked again! Until the professor kind of had to clarify to him that, you know, excrement didn't come out of the uterus.
The guy who already "overstudied" and wanted to know if he could possibly learn less asked this.
Oh my god, I kind of wanted to slap him with my uterus just to make the point.
Umm, what else. Well, tonight is the night that I will a million billion dollars! I have my MegaMillions ticket, and I am all set for my really big check! LOL, I'll tell you the really ridiculous thing about me, on the rare occasions that I get this whimwham and buy a ticket: when I lose, I am always utterly surprised. How stupid is that? I mean, for a while there, I really expect to win, and I pretty much have everything planned out.
Hmm, Kung Fu, Kung Fu. Gold Dragon was busy in basics teaching the new guy so I got to count out the drills which was way too much fun for me and I was making some of the younger boys have to stop. I told Gold Dragon that the next time he let me lead, maybe I should wear something more authoratative looking, such as long, shiny boots, maybe some latex and perhaps a whip. Funny. ^_^;; In blackbelt we did chin na, breaking out of different holds and stuff, a throw or two, pretty fun stuff. I hope once the rain clears up we can go outside for sword and staff. I look forward to that every spring. :)
It is raining bitches and hos out here, as it has this past week and will continue to do for the rest of the week. That's pretty nice for the plants and all, so I don't mind. Although I hope it stops tomorrow for maybe five effing minutes so I can plant my tree.
Half an hour till I'm a multi millionaire! Then I will solve everyone's problems and make sure that no one I love ever, like, gets sick ever again or anything. Uhh, yeah, for sure.
