"If this was a different class, you might think it was something else, but it's a chemistry class, so it's not that something else...(ellipses dots used correctly)...The urine--vanadium5+..."
"It was fun talking about the exam and you not knowing what's going on."
colon: "It's a full colon, not a semicolon. It says something's coming; it's like a fanfare."
"'There are no absolutes.' 'None?' 'None.'"
note: this stuff = grammar
"I like this stuff. Isn't it pathetic? I watch movies, too....I go outside sometimes..."
Spell check: "Don't listen to Bill Gates. Listen to me."
"Malaria: I always thought it meant 'bad opera'...and I've been to some of those."
I love listening to RJ and Colin's presentations just because of the way they talk about things. They're confident and amusing to listen to. "We highly recommend not doing this--but there's recipes on Wikipedia if you're curious."
A couple notable things:
I called Jimmy this afternoon and left a message informing him that while he was squeaky clean and smelling nice for me (we briefly spoke about him taking a shower this morning) I was wearing mashed raw potato. Yeah, why I was wearing mashed raw potato, I don'--yeah, I actually I do know. My favorite presentation today opened by Clinton, with a very interesting and humorous dialogue that basically concluded, "Earth has finally been blessed with...hair spray." And a nice feminine-looking can of hair spray appeared on the demonstration counter. What does this have to do with mashed raw potato? After Clinton explained the chemistry of combusting hair spray, his partner explained the mechanics of a potato gun. "And if you quickly follow me outside, I will shoot it into a wall." No, I didn't get shot, as was Jimmy's first reaction, but apparently I stood in the splash zone. Alishia was nice enough to pick out bits of raw potato afterward.
Something else: I was reading the wrong section for lab. I read this and laughed:
Laboratory Objectives
2. Describe the conditions necessary to maintain Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
What came to mind? Having Joe hit on me. After reading the section on this, I realized that this joke is funnier than I originally thought. Joe, you naughty boy. ;P
