levityToday I attempted to have my physical examination. Gods above, the memories that place held. That was the first time I've had a phone stolen from me.
Also, I don't like organ systems. Don't wonder why I'm in this course.

Beginning a conversation with the words “I presume you're iMed” will never be a good start to a relationship.
We're iMed. We're noisy and arrogant and carefree and hell yes we're brilliant. We're also affectionate and stressed and crazy and human in a way that you will never know. If you had stuck your head out of your classroom and said “Guys, there's a class going on and I can't even hear myself speak, mind keeping the volume down?” I don't doubt that we would have. Besides, a UP prof ought to know that swearwords and empty threats don't really make for the best arguments.
I know, I know, I'm not looking at the other side of the story. Your dog died, you had a bad day, your thesis was driving you up the wall, and we were the last straw. You might want to consider basic human decency as a tactic, though, especially when asking people not to linger and talk in an area where, you know, the school put benches so that people could linger and talk.
If I were as intelligent as you are, I'd be writing a paragraph about how all CAS people are bitter kids still stuck resenting the fact that they didn't get into Intarmed and about how you wouldn't have gone out and yelled at a bunch of students had they not been the university's designated cream of the crop. Thankfully I know better than not to make sweeping generalizations.
Just that, you know, trying to look like a decent human being doesn't cost you anything.
And here I am sitting in the car and stewing over the idiocy of people because I haven't yet figured out that the only way to get out of this world with sanity intact is to let the idiots be idiots. Frankly, it's a wonder people don't commit suicide more often.
