Excuse Me?

It just amazes me (yes, amaze) how some people can actually bring themselves to be so mannerless.

It happened during lectures today.

For some reason, Dr Brancale's handouts weren't printing out properly, as in all the chemical symbols were completely messed up, appearing as squares instead of C, H, O, N, F (you get the picture).

Halfway through explaining how folic acid synthesis is inhibited by sorry-i-can't-remember-the-name, this outspoken girl at the back row interrupted the lecturer.

"Excuse me, are you expecting us to learn this coz they are not showing up on the handout."

I jolted from my seat (ok, I confess, I was far away in Adelineland when her booming voice punctuated some happy thoughts), and to say I was shocked is an understatement.

Excuse me?

Is that how you would address a lecturer?

And and announcing out loud in class when he is busy explaining his point?

Good thing you're not like me Dr Brancale. I would have just given that gal the marching orders and that will be the end of PH3101 for her.

Ah, such guts!

I mean yes, it's annoying not to be able to view on paper how the whatever electrons are attacking whichever bonds and in so doing creating some wonderful inhibitors etc, but can't you jot it down? Why, is it that you can;t write? It's not like yours is the only incomplete copy either. And what's the meaning of shouting out loud in class? Speak up, not interrupt!

I think Aretha Franklin should teach you a lesson. And don't worry, it only involves you listening to RESPECT and no jotting whatsoever.

Hey hey, this has nth to do with ur post, but I just wanna tell u that...

u know my MSN personal msg right? The sentence taken from Lion King. A clsmate suggested it's time to change my nick and I said, "Cannot, it's from a friend." Then he asked, "Is ur friend Timon?"

I was like, "Ahh? How you know her nickname was Timun???"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

Apparently Timon is one of the character in Lion King. I seriously need to watch the cartoon before more people think I am a huge fan of Lion King. hahahahah.

PS-got ur email, talk more after my exams.
