I have an assignment for a "600-700 word research paper" and it honestly doesn't compute to my brain. How can you even write a research paper in under 700 words. How is that even a paper. I've written longer work emails.

#summer ‘26

I emailed my professor this weekend because the quiz was marking me wrong for questions I was getting right per the textbook (and I sent her screenshots of the textbook vs my answer that was being marked wrong)

and then it turns out the quizzes were an old instructor’s based on a different textbook, so she changed it to use the quizzes from our textbook publisher

But on the new platform she forgot to disable the “check my answers” feature so every multiple choice question has a button that says “CHECK MY WORK” that you’re allowed to hit multiple times before submitting your answer and it tells you whether or not it’s right???

#this class is a joke lowkey #summer ‘26

I fear everyone in my online class this summer is stupid and in addition to being super annoying, it’s going to lead to my getting accused of using AI to write my assignments

So lowkey I actually did really badly on my finals (except stats where I got 100%) and it didn’t matter because my grade was high enough that I still got As in every class, but I’m actually still disappointed

It is because I didn’t study much because I realized I didn’t need to in order to get A’s but it turns out that still feels kind of bad

#I swear to god she has to have graded something wrong on the lab practical though #spring ‘26

I turned in my final for stats where I’ve gotten 100% on both exams and I said “I hope you won’t be too disappointed in me if I missed something on this” and he said “I use yours to check the answer key”

#spring ‘26 #lowkey he was not a good teacher but that class was stupid easy anyway #although I’m sure that’s because I have developed a decent ad hoc understanding of statistics from doing science for many years #despite having not formally taken a stats class before #I didn’t instantly understand everything (after the first unit) but I had enough practice thinking about stats #that it meant I only really had to do the assigned homework to have gotten enough practice to get all the exam questions right #given that we were allowed a 1-page reference sheet front and back which is way more than enough

exec dysfunction is real EXCEPT when it comes to me… i am lazy and undisciplined… i’m faking it even to myself and also lying… i’m a deceiver……….a conman………….

So it turns out when you don’t study for your hardest final it doesn’t go very well

#spring ‘26 #anatomy #it’s like. fine because with the curve I probably only needed a 50% (assuming it’s similar or greater than the other tests curves)#but also it just doesn’t feel great to not know the answers #this is fine 🥲

About to go do badly on my anatomy test 🫡

I just have to hope other people also do badly again so I get a good grade because of the curve

dynamic-instability

thanks to my last minute cramming for this, my raw score was actually 86/100 meaning I only missed 7 questions! (which is half of how many I missed on the last exam, which I think I actually studied more for, go figure, so it must have been harder material) (and is 3 more than I missed on the first exam)

BUT there was indeed a 24 point curve (wild) making it my highest exam score so far lol

#spring ‘26 #pre-med #anatomy #grades #someone got a perfect score!#the highest scorer in the class on the first two exams missed 2 questions in each case (crazy work) and idk if it's the same person #but getting 100% in this class is actually wild #decent chance it is someone who's retaking it because people do that a lot #but still!#anyway I think I have to get like a 65% raw score on the final to get an A in the class since for some reason the final is uncurved #which is also weird to me? Why would you curve the exams and not the cumulative final? Shouldn't it be the other way around?#but for me it does not matter #probably

one of my stupid pet peeves is when problems on homework/quizzes/exams have at the end of the question "Hint:" and then what follows is a piece of information that you literally couldn't solve the problem without being given.

Like if I'm trying to find the volume of an object, giving me its diameter is actually very much not a "hint" it is just necessary info about the specific hypothetical that I could not otherwise have inferred

Giving me the equation for volume, something that is true in many situations but which I may not have remembered? Or the molecular weight of the reactant which I could find myself from the periodic table? Sure, those are hints, thank you for the extra info to save me time and memorization.

But giving me the precise molarity of the HCl solution used in the reaction, which I cannot assume because it would be different for every specific instance? NOT A HINT!!! IT'S NOT A HINT IF I NEED IT AND COULD NOT GET IT FROM ANYWHERE ELSE IT'S JUST PART OF THE PROBLEM HELLO

anyway it literally does not matter but also I will stay mad about it thank you for coming to my rant

#spring ‘26 #my chem professor does this on at least one problem on every test and quiz and it's like seriously do you not know what hint means #it does not change my ability to do the problem at all but also ffs WORDS MEAN THINGS goddamn

And WHO SAYS cramming doesn’t work bitch???? I knew SO many things on that exam that I learned from watching the lectures for the first time last night hell yeah

(Love to be rewarded for my terrible study habits and lack of executive functioning)

(Remains to be seen whether I will still remember it in 2 weeks for the cumulative final but A WIN IS A WIN OKAY)

#spring ‘26 #pre-med #anatomy #I am reminded of a very self-righteous medblr post from ages ago #where it was a probably fake conversation that went something like #classmate says ‘why study that if it’s not even on the test’ and medblr says ‘I’m not studying to pass tests I’m studying to be a doctor’#and everyone fucking clapped #how about shut the hell your mouth actually #when a curriculum has you drinking from a firehose you’re not meant to perfectly retain it all long-term #the tests are designed to show you know ENOUGH of the MOST IMPORTANT content to be competent #and to recall enough to know how to think and how to find the answers when it becomes relevant in real life #anyway none of that means I shouldn’t be better about studying in advance so things stay in my longer-term memory lolol

About to go do badly on my anatomy test 🫡

#spring ‘26 #pre-med #anatomy #this class is crazy honestly

I think the mnemonic most commonly used for electron subshells (to remember the principal quantum number l specifically) is "some people do fine"

but for some reason every time in my head I hear "sooo... people do fuck..."

We did repro/urinogenital system in cadaver lab last night and after we finished looking at the male reproductive organs, one of my classmates said “okay it’s official, I’m a lesbian now, I can never look at a penis again”

and my other classmate said “yeah, vaginas are much less disgusting, way nicer to look at,” and then she immediately turned to the only man in the room and said “no offense!”

And he said “hey, I agree with you!! I promise I hated this more than you did!”

#I did not like her pulling the testes out of the scrotum and then stuffing them back in #I think my male classmate hated when she revealed that actually the dissectors had cut the shaft in half so we could see the cross-section #he softly said ‘oh no’#spring ‘26 #anatomy #pre-med #I did also say at one point ‘I don’t like how it’s looking at me’ and my classmate said ‘yeah don’t make eye contact’#he also had a weird penis!!!! tbh!!!!! although maybe that’s not fair bc I do think the preservation process makes a lot of things weird #so it’s a little difficult to say for sure what it would’ve looked like in life #also it’s Colorado and the skin of these guys has really dried out over the course of the semester #they are getting crispy unfortunately 😬#also unfortunately neither of the female donors had a uterus #one of them does have ovaries but honestly that makes the anatomy more confusing #we can be asked to ID structures on her ovaries but it’s harder to orient them correctly without the uterus there as a reference point

Anatomy TA: “you can remember the direction of blood flow by knowing which is bicuspid vs tricuspid by remembering you ‘Try’ before you ‘buy’”

Me: “also because trisexuals bisexuals Homo sapiens carcinogens hallucinogens, men, Peewee Herman”

#what do you know about German wine turpentine Gertrude stein Antonioni Bertolucci Kurosawa #carmina burana #?#to apathy to entropy to empathy ecstasy #vaclav havel the Sex Pistols 8BC???#spring ‘26 #anatomy #rent #why did I know all the words to La Vie Bohème when I was 10 #also for the record I am aware that it is actually ‘bisexuals trisexuals homo sapiens’ so this does not work #but it was my first thought lmao

Also goddamn we had a pair of siblings in the ED last night with honestly the most unfortunate last names I have ever heard in my LIFE

and truly HIPAA is such a burden to me because what do you MEAN I can’t talk about funny name?? I LOVE to talk about funny name!!!!!!

Alas.
