“Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil. Ephesians 4: 26,27
Thursdays are the worst days of the week. They are the longest and seem to drain all the energy out of you. Today was no different, perhaps even worse than a typical Thursday. I had a really unpleasant practical session. To make things worst, I have yet to come to terms with the demise of Heath Ledger.
My lab demonstrator for Microorganisms, Cells and Immunity, who i shall refer to as Dementor, drains every scruple of energy and joy out of me. Yes, I understand that you’re a postgrad pursuing a PhD, blah blah. I also don’t want to give pathetic excuses about A levels not preparing us adequately or how my lab partner, J and I came straight into 2nd year with no lab experience with microorganisms at all. But I REALLY wish that you would stop talking to us in that patronizing, condescending tone of yours. It is the pride of people like you that takes the joy out of learning. A little more patience is all I ask from you, Skinny-Jeans-Wearing-Indie-Looking guy…As much as I am upset, I can’t help feeling sorry for you. You’re (so obviously) doing this either out of obligation or for the money. If it is not too much for me to add, a little smile from you will make you quite attractive, really. Everyone appreciates a cheerful, approachable guy.
