On Campus

“You’re a f*cking imbecile.” Ouch.

Yesterday I received these three e-mails from someone calling themself “dark current” in response to my post, Buck naked in my chemistry class. I’ve decided to share them here, unedited, exactly as they arrived.

To be honest, I don’t really know what to say or what to do with this. But I do know that I didn’t want to be alone with these comments.

P.S. Just because this person claims to be an organic chemistry lab TA at the University of Toronto, it doesn’t necessarily mean they are, of course. They could be anywhere. Or no where.

Subject line: You’re a fucking imbecile

Why are you even bothering to post this? EVERY single chemistry freshman knows this… yes, the millions of them around the world knows what you have just posted.

You might as well make a blog saying that the sky is blue, the ocean is blue, that your blogs are very boring, etc…

The pathetic attempt to rouse excitement when you – get this – use those stupid hyphens is so ironic given the anticlimactic and obvious statements that follows.

Also, the shower heads are not “little” you liar. The amount of water stored and the rate of delivery required to was the chemicals from your body mandates the shower head to be much bigger than your average shower head. My lab has 500 gallons of water ready to flow out of the 25-30 cm shower head should I pull the release.

The only thing you’ve shown in your post is how utterly stupid you are.

Subject line: You’re not getting into med school

Hi,

I also forgot to mention how many bajillion first year undergrad say they’re pre-med. Just to let you know, there is no such thing as “Pre-med” you’re in the SCIENCE faculty. And just to let you know, it’ll be better if you don’t tell your more senior friends that you’re “pre-med”. Most third year (me) to graduate students just roll their eyes and get annoyed when you call yourself pre-med. Don’t believe me? http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=1081

The drop out rate for first year and “pre-med” students is stupidly high. Statistically, you stand an extremely low chance of actually being in med school… especially since you didn’t even get into health science (easy to gain admittance to)…

Try not to piss off anyone by calling yourself a pre-med and thinking you’re special or something. A retard could call himself a pre-med. And yes, I do sercretly induge in watching premeds tank in the orgchem labs I TA.

“nag their conscience too much.”

Such naivete.

Do you have any idea of the notion of competitiveness? I know people at UT who would sell their mothers for an extra two percent. Sorry, but university is unlike highschool. You’re not going to be graded on absolute performance, but comparative performance. Lots of people would pretend their family members died to get a deferred exam.

PS: you forgot to mention that even being sick requires a note from a doctor to get a deferred exam… or was the whole death thing your way of making this trivial and obvious blog post more interesting?
