TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

The internet says it's only about five thousand monkeys, but that was in 2009 and the internet has been known to be wrong.

Today, my Genetics professor gave us the syllabus and was absolutely adamant that if we couldn't be there for the final, we shouldn't take the class. Period.

My plane flies out the day before the final.

I emailed her explaining about my Study Abroad. Hopefully she will accommodate it. I don't think she HAS to, but according to my Education Abroad professor, they've never had anyone refuse, so... fingers crossed.

If I learned anything in physics, it's that if you talk to the professor from the get go, he or she will accommodate, and that professors put on a show of tough-ass to nip the nonsense in the bud.

If said prof doesn't work something out with you, about your study abroad program no less, that reflects poorly on her. That's department head level shenanigans.

Good to know! I really hope she makes it easy though. I love this class so far and really want to take it with her specifically.

When I told my Neuro II professor that I had to miss the Q&A panel he's doing in lieu of a final, he gave me a huge grin and said "Don't worry about it! It won't affect your grade! Congratulations!" so I'm hoping her response will be similarly positive.

On top of that, I've also learned that Genetics professors are pretty forgiving, especially if they already know you. Genetics is wicked interesting. I wish I didn't take it during summer. It did the topic a disservice. I wish I would have taken Chem I or Physics I instead.

Especially because either way I would have had Professor Kasili.  He's the only Genetics teacher, so I don't really remember why there was such a fire lit under my ass to take Genetics in fucking July and half of August.

Fun side facts about Prof. K.

He loves the X Men because of genetic fiction.

He supports Germany in FIFA. I don't completely understand this, since he's from some African country.

He will tell you that your course load is insane if it is, and then work with you to pass regardless.

I am not sure that it is valid to extrapolate your experience with one Genetics professor to all Genetics professors. :lol:

But yeah, the topic is really interesting, and I think I'll like this course. Especially if I can actually follow through with taking it. If I can't I might go ahead and take something stupid easy online like Life of the Past or Nutrition.

Fair.

actually this should be totally ignore Twid night. I'm in the midst of an emotional inventory situation, which has already lead to in depth conversation with an ex that I still consider a valued friend. Normally it would be a chuckle situation, but I don't know, losing another friend over the past 365 days gives that a bit of gravitas that I really don't like to acknowledge.

Yay, Dr. R sad it will be no problem and to let her know as soon as I schedule an exam in the testing center. Whew! This is probably the first term I've had where I would be genuinely heartbroken if I had to drop any of my classes. I love all my professors this term and all of the topics are really exciting to me.
