Well.
First day of school and I've already managed to embarress myself. This is a new record. Usually it takes at least three or four days before I do/say something really dumb.
So I'm sitting in biochem class, listening to somebody who is probably the worst professor ever (now I know people say that all the time, but believe me - I do not say it lightly). And, of course, I'm sitting in the first row in order to alleviate any temptation that may go into wanting to MSN/email/google someone/anyone because the pentose phosphate pathway is that exciting.
Worst-Professor-on-the-Face-of-This-Snowy-Earth, who is now lecturing in front of me about two millimeters away from my safety bubble of personal space, asks if we had seen a particular shorthand symbol (deH2Ogenation, if you must know) before in biochem 1. And, of course, he looks right at me for the answer. I say no, because, well, no I've never seen that before in my life, mildly clever as it is.
And he's all: NOOOOOOOOOOO?!?
And the rest of the class is all: YEEEES WEEE HAAAAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And he looks at me and says: What the hell's the matter with you? Never went to class?
Well, as a matter of fact, I never DID go to class. I eventually got advanced standing in biochem 1 (not that I ever went to class anyhow) and so I ended up dropping it. Take THAT, buddy!
Not that you can defend yourself in the middle of a lecture on some crazy pathway.
And? His favourite shorthand: NRG.
Gawd help me!

ahaha. :) I skipped a lot of Biomaterials tutorials--they were actually more lecture than tutorial, but you know what they say... "Tutorials are useless". Plus, they were at 9am, when I am usually still in bed. Anyway. A different prof ran the tutorials from the lectures. One day I finally decided to go to the tutorial, arriving a few minutes late. The prof stopped in mid-sentence as I walked in and asked, snarkily:
"Excuse me, are you in my class?"
"Yes..."
"I've never seen you before."
"I may have missed a few classes."
"A lot of classes."
"A few."
SO embarrassing. What a test of poker face. I went to tutorials after that. :P
