u got 2 b k!dd!ng m3..chronology of an upsid3 down w33k

Monday - 4got 2 kihap during taekwondo..kena whack on da head by coach..
Tuesday - muttered sumthin stupid during ethics class in da name of participation..Our Professor of Pathology n Immunology is starting 2 turn in2 1 of da 2 ppl i would love 2 hate dis week..during final lecture, he went on covering 12 slides which were not on our notes (dis week we refer 2 notes ony, no recommended reading)..he refused 2 put it online n insisted we pay attention n do some further reading later rather than scribble down notes..WTF..
Wednesday - 2nd person i would love 2 hate, medical sociology head of department..we walked in2 lecture xpecting our usual set of lecture notes.
Her comments: i've been receiving some comments from da Arts n Humanities faculty dat their students do not receive any handouts. They listened attentively n ony jotted down stuff which they c fit..According 2 them, medical students r used 2 being spoonfed with notes n they juz go back n memorised da powerpoint slides..so i challenged dat theory by accepting a bet dat u guys can oso make good notes..so 2day u all wil haf 2 make 2 do wif foolscap paper n listening 2 wat i haf 2 say..(Note: wat has ur bet haf 2 do wif us students? i dun really care wat da Arts ppl say..juz coz of ur stupid bet our education has 2 suffer?!)
after 1 hour, hand pain trying 2 scribble down every single word dat comes out of her mouth, can't even read my own handwriting..
Thursday - practical class, fren's water bottle got confiscated by dat SAME pathology professor.. "Can't u all read wat i put up on da projector? no food n drinks can b brought in2 da lab..i can't believe u guys r actually ignoring da standard safety procedures as a professional bla bla bla..."next person who takes out a water bottle wil b asked 2 leave da class..(imagine ur Nike water bottle being chucked in2 da Yellow biohazard bin..) doesn't he haf da courtesy 2 politely ask ppl 2 put it away..i'm sure most ppl will oblige..it's juz a water bottle..(fine, u might think dat i'm a bit biased n haf a problem wif authority here..watever..he might b right in wat he did, i juz felt da way he did it was a bit disrespectful) later he went around grilling ppl bout pathology questions which r not in ur notes (requires thinking..^#%^*)
hoho..tutorial last week got cancelled since my tutor got admitted 2 hospital wif epilepsy, so guess who was our tutor 2day..(yup, da same medical sociology head of department..) she's good in her teaching, but there's ony 3 things which i dun like bout her..
  1. if a lecture gets cancelled, she schedules 2 more lectures at 8am
  2. she uses too much examples in her teaching dat everybody felt it was irrelevant n felt asleep (aka telling too much grandfather stories)
  3. exam in 3 - 4 weeks (need 2 study), 2500-word assignment due at same time (haven't started), grading next week, study group fridays n on weekends, other tutorial groups r taking it easy n she is asking us 2 do a presentation on Vaccine Development for HIV?!!! (aka research journals n textbooks n internet) OMG...pengsan,..
