A bit of a rant

So I was late for my BioChem 422 Lab and my professor told me not to bother coming for the class after I get there. I already handed in three weeks worth of homework that isn't due for another four weeks.

Him "Hey (name). Why are you here?"

Me "Attendance and class?"

Him "(name), you just handed in three weeks of homework that wasn't even due yet."

Me "I'm a perfectionist. I wanted to be ahead in the class."

Him "(name), if you want, you don't even have to come to class for the next week. We're covering chapters 15, 16, 18, and 19. You already handed in homework for those chapters."

Me "I can't lose my attendance. One my scholarships rides on it."

Him "I'll count you present. Don't worry about it."

Me "Are you sure?"

Him "Just call me tomorrow to let me know if you can TA my class on Friday."

Me "But I thought (name) was TAing your class on Friday."

Him "She's sick with the flu or something."

Me *really confused* "Um...okay."

So yeah. I freak out because I arrive five minutes late for class, and this prof is the kind that locks the door if you're late and doesn't let you in.

So I'm a bit peeved right now.

I'm trying to understand why you're peeved. He said you don't gotta come, you're ahead of the game, AND you're getting attendance. Girl, knock back a bottle of captain and relax. smile.gif

Its a major university. Attendance can be docked by the TA, and if the TA finds out I'm not there, my attendance can be docked anyways. I'm so close to graduating, and if I the scholarship that rides on attendance, I can be royally censor.gif .
Suhnaye2005-10-17 18:09:45
Meh... I still think you need to learn to relax... Take a class on it *Chuckles*
Richter2005-10-17 18:22:25
I don't really get what the problem is, as long as the prof makes sure the TA knows to count you there.

Sounds like you're doing good. smile.gif

I'm with you on this one. If you can make it to class then I'd go for the sake of your attendence (Since even professors may forget these things). Even if they are reviewing the chapters you already did it's always more practice for you.

I wish I were as dedicated as you though! My classes are so boring right now.

I slept through college, in and out of class. smile.gif

Probably when I'm no longer there. sad.gif

There is so much more to life than alcohol.

...not that I thought that when I was in college, it actually got to be fun. The girls, the DDR, the girls, the girls...

But now that I have a real job, and a long term relationship, none of that is needed.
Murphy2005-10-17 23:05:54
psh i have a semi real job and a long term relatoinship but i still booze up, its the Australian way of life
Richter2005-10-17 23:09:10
That's because Austrailia was the leftover crooks from other countries!

Study at an online university.
Then also work 8 hours, believe both things are compatible.
Been unable to play anything since the weekend, so much homework, and dsl got sick and didn't work due to the rains.
Somebody rescue my brain!!

I have a real job, a long term relationship, and I still booze up when I have the chance. And my house looks like an internet caffee. Spanish way of life!!
PS: And we have sangria, gazpacho and siestas wink.gif And paella, tourists like paella as well wink.gif

Only one, actually, and the thing is, you've never seen an Aussie work, have you?
Think Asian, but more.
And after work, knock back a few brews, and talk utter crap.

You too, huh? My head was halfway to the desk several times in linear algebra yesterday before I woke up again. Hope no one saw me, probably looked strange half dropping to my desk, then sitting up again... doh.gif

Some times I'm glad I didn't manage to get any scholarships to lose....
Iridiel2005-10-18 14:32:46
Thanks God/Goddess/GodIt/Gods/etc... scholarships here only depend on your grades.
I wouldn't be in lusternia if I had gone to all those boring classes wink.gif
