So I made a formspring a few days ago [] because I thought answering some questions would let me reflect on some things and maybe get to know myself better through questions... Any interesting questions usually get me thinking about some things. So I figured I should learn a bit more about myself and created one. Also, that's probably why I decided to post because I just got a question on formspring about an hour ago that asked "how come you haven't updated your blog in foreva?" so I guess I'll update it [btw I'm pretty sure I know who asked this based on the spelling of "forever"]
I haven't posted in a while because this semester has been kinda bad so far especially orgo and biochem. I haven't done my routine "what do I think about my teachers" post yet, so I guess I'll do a quick one here.
Linguistics: Paauw [I had to look at the syllabus to figure out how to spell his name]
The class is actually pretty interesting so far and he really loves the subject so he's extremely enthusiastic in this class. I would pay attention more if he didn't just read off the slides and the posted the slides up later and if I didn't have other more interesting things to do in class [Like writing this blog... he's talking about Normans and Vikings right now... something about the history of English...] but I guess this is a nice relaxing class where I can do whatever I want and still do generally okay in the class. This is probably the only class I'm not failing right now... because it's my only non-science class.
Oh how to argue against linguists: "Well in my idiolect... "
lol right now he's talking about "It's OK to murder people you don't like" he's like technically... that's linguistically correct... but not really morally...
Physiology: Dietsche [Yes I had to look this spelling up too in the blackboard site...]
Dietsche is a funny guy... He says the randomest things and goes on random rants during class. I remember the first two classes, he was supposedly talking about the Scientific Method [is a way to solve a problem~ (7th grade Mr. Waldeck made us listen to that song...)] but he ended up going on a rant about how aliens can't possibly be seen on earth. He says if they have high enough technology as to come to earth, then we wouldn't calling them aliens, we'd be worshiping them like gods. Then he says aliens can probably bend light too so we can't see them... "IF YOU'RE IN HERE, YOU BETTER BE AUDITING!" Aside from the rants though, he's a bit boring because he just stands up there and talks, since we're in lower strong and we don't really have a board, so I need to record lecture.
Organic Chemistry: Frontier
Frontier's an awesome teacher and she's like young so she can relate. Like today in class, she said for us not to worry too much about our grades because we still have ~75% of our grade left, since the final's worth 50%. She says as long as you do well on the final, you should be fine in the class because she said when she was in college, she failed her 3 tests, but got one of the top scores in the class. She still ended up with a B in orgo and was really pissed off about that, so she's going to be different. That made me feel so much better because I'm like failing the course right now and her saying that gives me some hope...
Biochemistry: Culver
Everyone seems to hate her except I don't mind her teaching too much, it's just her grading. I have no idea why she takes points off. Someone in my workshop asked what we needed to know for the test and my TA literally said "Everything". I'm probably failing this class the most right now because she doesn't drop anything and the first test was really really bad.
I guess this post ended up being a bit long instead of a short post... I guess I'll try to update more because now I have formspring to inspire me and give me ideas to write/rant about...
