bitching, Bitches, and biology

[darklingfox]

Today was a nasty day. A really nasty day. It started off well enough. Thursdays are my grind days... so I leave early. But my lab professor was in a bitchy mood. She admited it, but then proceeded to make me look like a fool in front of everyone by misinterpreting my question and persisting even after I told her to just drop it. She told us to

Thanks! And yeah.. I mean.. the chemistry is the basis for everything that happens in biology. I couldn't understand why a scientist who would be very interested in one would skip out on the other and not at least be interested in how it applies to their subject. At first I thought 'hmmm to each their own.' But then she said she didn't like it because it was difficult. That should have been flag right there.

I couldn't explain myself to her though because she kept taking and twisting what I was saying. She was tired and frustrated and didn't understand what I was saying even though I was saying it clearly. That and the opportunist bitch kept chiming in to explain things that I wasn't even saying which kept derailing any headway I had made, in an attempt to take over the group (all girls).

In the end though, I'm not sure the professor could be taught a lesson like that. She seems like the kind of person to just get really angry and do everything in her power to fail me. And the opportunist? She knows already. That's why she targets me... because I understand and have a mastery of some of this stuff already and it damages her ego that some guy is more intelligent than her (something she proves often when she opens her mouth). She got lucky today by kindling the teacher's confusion. My reaction though is 'fuck it.' None of it matters. Neither the group nor the professor have anything to offer me and ego games are not what I came to college for. This book though is amazing! Heavy as hell and huge, but its a keeper.
