This has to be my longest dry spell yet. But can you blame me? Life is pretty much school, club meetings and work. Work is cool, but I bet you don’t want me to rave any more about that. Let’s talk about my classes!<\/p>\n
This is the blithe transitory semester between my old major and the new major. I’m taking Biochemistry 561, which is the only class that I can transfer into the PharmD program (assuming I ever get in), two psych classes to fulfill a minor and a statistics class that’s a requirement for my new major. I could sit here all day and type about what irrelevant topics I am reluctantly learning, but I bet you all want to know what celebrities my teachers resemble first.<\/p>\n
My Behavioral Neuroscience professor sounds like Andy Dick and looks like a 50-year-old Andy Dick except without the creepiness. He also wears socks and sandals together. Okay, a little weird…<\/p>\n
My Abnormal Psych professor didn’t look like anybody at first, but then when he took off his glasses one day (which apparently imbue some sort of Clark Kent-esque cloaking effect), I realized he was actually a young Borghoff (*History teacher from my high school days.<\/em>)! He’s just shorter. A Mini-Borghoff. His voice is also not entirely unlike Borghoff now that I think about it.<\/p>\n Then there’s the “cake class” that brings me up to 18 credit hours, Food and Nutrition. My professor there could pass as my Biology lecturer from last year recast in a new role. She has that “Purdue accent” (which is basically a Midwestern accent interspersed with the occasional “y’all”). <\/p>\n Okay, stay with me here. My Biochem lecturer looks like Dr. Wallace Breen from Half-Life 2. But he talks as if John Hammond from Jurassic Park were doing an American accent and <\/em>doing an impression of Paul Lynde. Try to imagine it, really. It’s worth it. Now try not to laugh. It would more interesting to me were it not at 8:30 in the morning and if I didn’t hate everything about everything at that point of the day. <\/p>\n And I think my Omni-hate is justified. 500-level classes suck! The material is hard enough. But the professor sees the class description and realizes it’s a 500 level class so he makes the exams ridiculously hard to justify that. How many Angstroms apart are the base pairs of a double helix? I really should have known that for the first exam. (AZN fail!) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This has to be my longest dry spell yet. But can you blame me? Life is pretty much school, club meetings and work.
