Welcome to the end of a semester.
ChE 135,
We could have been so good together. I actually understand concepts better once I put them to practical use, and I also consider technical writing to be one of my strengths, so at first you seemed to be the perfect match. However, to be graded by someone who is not only nitpicky but also inconsistent makes you not worth my while. As Ate Ceres put it, sir can't possibly expect that level of excellence in our laboratory reports given only a week to work on each, especially since we work on our reports individually--unlike with other profs. Too bad, you had so much potential.
Your What-If
ChE 123,
Ah, thermo. How I loathe you. No matter how hard I tried, even with one of the better profs, I still couldn't understand you. Even when I thought that what I was doing was simply mechanical and by the book, I find myself surprised at how low my grades are. Weak foundations-Chem 153, ChE 122-make for a weak house. Therefore, it's not your fault. You never stood a chance. Thanks for trying though.
Your E-for-effort
ES 13,
I can't hate you. Even when I have the possibility of failing and having to *gasp* retake you. I may say that I hate you, but trust me, I don't. It's `coz I actually see your practicality. Yes, you are difficult. But you're understandable. You're just a little KSP, that's all. You need to be paid attention to. That's just the problem though; I don't have that kind of time. Maybe if I had taken you during a lighter semester, then we'd be in better terms. But for this sem, let me say out loud that I hate you, even though we (now) both know that I don't.
Your "hater"
Art Stud 1,
I hate you. And no, not the same way as I did ES 13. I genuinely hate you. You make my blood crawl and all the other typical anger metaphors. You required a ridiculous amount of work for little compensation. I had to put in more work on you than any of my other subjects including my majors, combined. YOU. SUCK. True, it was interesting learning about Classicism, Romanticism, Egyptian art, and all that shit, but not in just one sem. Please. You're trying to cram too much stuff into what was supposed to be a simple introductory course. Haven't you ever wondered what that "1" in your course name meant?
Your hater (like, for real)
Art Stud 2,
You desperately need to get a life. You're so dull that a ballpoint pen provides more excitement. Ma'am would just drone... and drone... and drone. Then she'd look at us, expecting someone to discuss with her. She's met with silence. At this point, people's minds have already traveled elsewhere far, far away where the class does not exist. So she calls for the unlucky top-of-the-classlist-classmate, Mr. Ang. Rinse and repeat. The field trip did a lot better in boosting the camaraderie and adding a sense of fun into the subject, but it was too late by then. May I suggest downing some alcohol before the next time?
Your [not here right now. Please leave a message after the beep. *BEEP*]
ChE 140,
Homaygaaaahhhhhdddd. If there was ever a major I would consider a favorite, you would be the one. I had always been naive when it came to the industry you see, and you exposed me to things I felt I should really know. Thank you. You required a lot of work, but you were worth it. I want to shove you up my parents' asses to get them to shut up about nursing.
Your biggest fan
