Second day of school
Aug. 30th, 2005 10:14 amThis morning I had biochem, Dr. Adler was just as hyper as usual. Yesterday was interesting. My zoology professor is possibly the most boring person on the planet. I love zoology, yet I spent the last 20 minutes looking at the clock thinking 'isn't class over yet? Fun... I had a friend that was taking botany the same time I was, and he had zoology then. He hated that professor. He actually told him that he hated the way he was teaching. I don't think he's nessessarily a bad teacher as of yet, he's just really dull.
My organic chem teacher is also somewhat dull, but not as bad as the other. He's not always boring though. He was showing us that the definition of organic chemistry used to be the chemistry of compounds made by living systems, but then Wohler (I think that's the spelling) in 1908 synthesized urea using non-organic compounds, so now organic chemistry is just the chemistry of Carbon. Anyway, he said 'if The West Side Story had been out there, the scientists would have been out in the halls singing 'Urea, Ureeeeaaaaa...' and he had this whole song to this idea. It was a couple minutes long, and he got applause when he was done. It was rather entertaining, and not exactly what I was expecting to happen... lol
I'm going to sculpture in like a half hour, and then later today I have my first zoology lab. Fun. I bet I'm going to have to watch the laboratory safety video again! I've had to watch this same safety video in every lab I've ever taken. The lab instructors know that we've seen it a million times each, but they still have to show it... Oi. And I'm going to have to watch it twice this semester too because thursday is my organic chem lab... *bangs head on keyboard*
Today I woke up at 4:30 am to come to school too! Fun. -_-; Mom had to work at 6 am this morning, and since she wasn't going to come and get me after working for 45 minutes and then bring me to school (obviously) I got to come with her and sit in the store at 5 am. She couldn't bring me up here either early because I don't even know if anything is open on campus at 5 am. Most likely not, at least not to students/general public.
Terri (the guy that is taking over the manager spot if Debbie decides she's not coming back) said 'so Tanya will just have to come to work then? She'll work right?' He seriously thought that at 5 am I'm going to start unloading frieght for free out of the goodness of my heart, then go to school. For a place that mom hates and she isn't being paid enough to work there anyway, let alone get free labor from me. He was absolutely serious. I'd rather stay in the damn car, kthx. I didn't have to stay in the car though, I sat downstairs in the basement and stared blearily at my organic chem book.
Woo.
