Kind of Embarassed
Today we had a ophthalmologist come in to give us an introductory lecture to the field. I was about 10 minutes early and decided to go sit in the lecture hall anyway. As I walked in the ophthalmologist asked me what year we were. I told him and also added that we were trying to use ophthalmascopes the previous week and in the process almost made one of our fellow students go blind (she was really nice to have incompetent people stare in her eye with a bright ass light). He asked what parts of the eye we had gone over already and I told him.
Later on a couple of students trickled in and a friend came to sit next to me. She was discussing how behind she was and I empathized. I then got so worked up in my empathy that I cursed! In front of the ophthalmologist! It went something like "I love it when I'm watching lectures and the professor will say, oh you should learn this chart for the test. Then another professor will say that about another chart in another class. Then another professor will be like, oh you should learn this for the test. I'm just like fuck you! I'm not learning any of this!"
Ok first of all. I didnt mean to say "fuck you" as much as I meant to say "fuck that." In saying "fuck you" it seems as if I am putting down professors who take so much time to teach us, and that I am ungrateful. Not the case. Secondly, I really didnt mean to say "fuck" as much as I meant to say "screw" as in "screw that." Thirdly, I didn't mean to say it so loud. Fourthly, the doctor kept tinkering with his computer so maybe he was so absorbed in that, that he didnt hear me. Fifthly, it really doesn't matter if he heard me or not does it? Like is he going to report me to someone? Oh no! I hope he doesnt report me! And by the way, he has no bearing on my grades. Sixthly, I think everything came out the way it did b/c I'm just stressed out.
So in conclusion, I need to keep my mouth shut about what I think about the curriculumn in front of important people. Apparently I get so worked up that I do embarassing things like curse in front of people that I might offend.
Sigh..

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! OMG - best laugh of my week. One thing I love about you is how you describe these scenes. I swear, even though I wasn't there, I can see exactly how it played out!
Dude, that poor ophthalmologist must have wet his pants after that. On the other hand, he was a med student too once, so hopefully he understood where you were coming from. And you smoothed things over afterward, right? Like, you went up and talked to him: "I enjoyed your presentation, but fuck you if you think I'm going to study any of it." ;-)
The runner up for my best laugh of the week was when my math prof said that learning advanced math is sometimes like those Magic Eye puzzles, where you just have to stare at it long enough, go cross-eyed, and then you suddenly get it. :-p
Take care Kiddo.
