Just Because I Have Nothing Better To Do...

...and a certain someone requested an update.

So, I'm back at home for Thanksgiving Break. How sweet it is. I just got through the most hellacious week at school. Three exams within 18 hours - Biochem, Genetics, and Analytical Chem. The hardest was (surprisingly) AChem. I had Biochem pegged as the worst, but it turns out I studied just the right stuff enough to do well (I think). I slacked on AChem and totally ignored Genetics until the night before. Oh well, Genetics is my easiest class, and test prep consists mainly of memorizing the previous year's koofer. (90% of the questions are the same, guaranteed)

Which brings me to my biggest beef of late. My Genetics professor is officially an asshole. I never liked the guy much, he's a lousy professor (probably the worst I've had here at VT), and he's a bit stuck up. I always gave him the benefit of the doubt, but now...not so much. Long story short - I walk into Genetics to find a friend of mine having a seizure. After it was over, I managed to get a professor in the building to call for help because Dr. Dipshit wasn't there (late as usual). As a note, I knew full well that you can always call 911 in an emergency, but I wasn't sure if there might've been a direct line to the VT Rescue Squad, which may have been quicker. Turns out there's not, but we called 911 and the rescue squad was there within about 2 minutes. So as they're wheeling this poor girl out, our professorial leader strolls in, sipping his coffee. Another friend of mine had advised him in the hallway that a student was being removed from our class due to a medical emergency, to which his reply was reportedly, "Whatever."

I spoke with him as I handed in our test. Our conversation was this:

Me: "Did anyone give you the name of the student who was taken out of here?"
Dipshit: "No" (very shortly)
Me: "Would you like to know who she is?"
Dipshit: "That's fine" (again, shortly)
Me: (I give her name)
Dipshit: (shrugs me off)

And I walked out. I was pissed. I'm glad I got an A on that test so I won't have to take his final. Bastard. I probably won't even go back to class so I never have to see his face again, because I'll want to punch him the whole time. I hope he spills coffee all over himself so he can be embarrassed in front of everyone...

OK, I've gotten that out of my system.

So what else is new? Hmmm... The Hokies crushed UVA today, 52-14! As if I had expected anything different. The great news came tonight as I watched the GA Tech/Miami game. GT actually upset Miami! That means, as long as we beat UNC, we will head to the ACC Championship game against FSU, where we will undoubtedly become ACC Champs for the second year in a row! GO HOKIES!!!

I really don't have any other plans for the week...I guess I'll start studying for finals, seeing as how they will start a week and a half after I get back to Blacksburg. That's gonna suck. Everyone's going to hate me again, I never seem to have as many finals as everyone else. This year I only have two. Bad news, they're back-to-back. AChem and Biochem. Sometimes I think they people that come up with exam schedules are truly sadistic. Why do I say that? Because for Biochem majors, the suggested schedule tells us to take those two classes at the same time. Therefore, pretty much everyone in Biochem is taking AChem, and we all have the two worst exams on the same day. The end of the AChem exam is 20 minutes before the start of the Biochem exam. I can only hope that I'm not too spent to make it through the Biochem exam. At least they're both in the afternoon/evening...that way I can make sure I'm rested up before taking them.

And then it's time for a month at home, with no homework or studying to be done...except I'll be working and probably studying for the GRE's so I can take them in the summer. Argh.

I miss my Blacksburg crew, but I'll see everyone soon enough...
