Chemistry Pre-Med Uni student. It's a mouthful.

Sometimes I see a username like fistingtornado and think to myself, “That’s both hilarious and a fuck the system sort of name, but also a little challenging because are you really that into fisting?” and then I think “I wish I had a cool, funny, fuck the system sort of username”

But then I imagine being a grown adult in a fancy job and having some underemployee come up to me like “Would you please explain why you chose this username when you were in your twenties” and I just

I’m not that brave, guys

Hey hey hey professors who Don’t Know Shit are the ABSOLUTE WORST esp when you’re paying them to teach you and they just won’t. I don’t know what you can do about this if you don’t want to complain formally, but to make things easier it’s likely everyone else in your class is also struggling. Get together with other people (& complain as a group) & learn the material together, teaching each other. Best wishes xx

Unfortunately, this prof is Best Friends with the chair. So a complaint won’t do much; they do research together. But we are banded into a tiny angry guild of students who teach each other, so there’s that!

POGIL has entirely ruined this course.

I was homeschooled when I was young. Hell, I was UNschooled when I was young. The feeling of wanting to cry every time I had to face the work because I hadn’t been taught it and didn’t understand it is terribly familiar. 

It’s one thing to face that when your teacher is your mum. It’s an entirely different thing to face when you’re paying thousands of dollars of tuition to be taught a concept, and are instead handed a packet and told to teach yourself. 

“In the real world, no-one walks you through problems.” True. But also, they train you and teach you the concepts before setting problems in front of you. I assume any problem I face in my job after uni will be one after university, where I was trained enough to get a degree. Any duties I have above that I should be trained for. No, not every problem is explained, but the concepts the problems are based on should have an adequate base of knowledge. 

I have no base of knowledge for this. This is a second-level course. We’re still building a base of knowledge. This is ridiculous.

Professor C——-l is on my list of Loathsome Individuals that I intend to be better than. 

The weekend’s half over and I’m disproportionately upset by this. I really don’t want to face school again. 
Additionally, I just finished a television show I’ve been watching since high school, and the idea that there’s no more of it has made me sad.
