BIOLOGY STORIES
so yesterday in biology, i did my presentation on being "Against the Right to Refuse Immunization." apparently now biology teachers are randomly assigning what we believe and who we strongly stand on this with. My partner in the war against the right to refuse immunization was Katona.
Lets just say our relationship did not start off on the right foot. She writes me an email, basically bitching her out about not contacting her, when she had not contacted me either. So we decide that we both would find as much research as we could, and compile it, and then I would email mine to her and she would make a rough draft. Annoyed, I did this. I don't like it that she gets to write the ENTIRE rough draft.
So anyway, she writes it and then turns it in with out letting me see it, and proceeds to get us a 66% on it. Way to go Katona.
So then I ignore her for a while, and the next week at lab, she gets the corrections back, and steals the paper and slinks out of the room. she calls me a couple of days later, getting on me about not contacting her... once again, did SHE contact me?? NOOOO.
so she says that she's already made the corrections, and can i do the visual aid? i'm like, yeah... but can i read the paper first? so she sends it to me... TOTAL CRAP. i basically have to redo the entire thing. needless to say, it gets done.
so we're doing the presentation. I'm starting off the intro, following the order of the slides, and she stops me mid presentation and is like, "can i just say one thing? it is much more cost effective to immunize your children at a younger age." to which i GAWKED open mouthed at her because not only did she interupt the intro and completely ruin the order and make a point that was going to be repeated not only by me but by the powerpoint, but i also realized then and there that she was not going to be able to say "immunize" right. she says it, "im-MYOON-iz-zize." and that basically sums up the presentation. her misprouncing and interupting me, and me trying to prove that we weren't complete idiots and pronounce immunize right.
then, another presentation came up that was by two guys who were assigned to be against alcohol in fraternities and sororities. so they start out their presentation with their attention getting question:
"How many here are frat boys? Anyone? Anyone?" and no one was raising their hand.
so very slowly, i raised my hand, hopefully to get a laugh out of my lame class. But, arm proudly outstretched high above my head, i looked around to see everyone just looking at me in silence, not even smiling. So very slowly and sheepishly, now extremely aware of myself and extremely awkward, i brought my hand down and just stared down at my desk waiting for the awkward silence to be over and for their presentation to start again.
"Ok....good for you, i guess..." is how they started it up again.
I would have laughed.
