So many strange people...

Another week of uni has passed, and I've come to realise that I've got some really strange lecturers in Dentistry.  Tuesday morning, 8am, we've got this elderly female lady who's been giving us a stream of lectures on 'What is health', and 'What makes us healthy'.  I was on the verge of falling asleep, until she started digging herself a hole by talking about a 'fit mouth' (in an attempt to compare oral health, to an aspect of general health - exercise and fitness), and in a state of confusion, I wrote down 'A fit mouth is...a functional mouth?!?!?  wth....' 

Not all the lecturers are strange and boring.  Some are merely strange and hungry.  Our physiology lecturer compared everything to food, in particular, confectionary: 'So here's a diagram of a cell.  As you can see, there are all these jellybeans, representing mitochondria, vesicles, peroxisomes...'.  Then, he moved on to 'Here's a lysosome.  Yes, it looks like a jellybaby'.  Didn't even call it quits after that: 'The peroxisome is about 1/3 to 1/2 the size of a lysosome.  You can see it here, the smaller red jellybaby.'  Since then, cells have never looked so edible.  The picture in his slide of a partial cross-section of a cell now seriously looks like a Gobstopper, where the nucleus is the hard spherical centre. 

The tutor we have is pretty stock-standard.  However, Dogs was telling us about his tutor, and she sounds AWESOME.  Hard to convey in words.  Apparently, she's got an asian accent and talks really really fast.  So, put on your best asian accent, and say it out loud really quickly after you read this: '-itis, -itis, what else ends with -itis?  Appendicitis.  Gingivitis.  Hepatitis.  What else ends with -itis?  What else ends with -itis? Endocarditis.  What else ends with itis? Three-thirty-itis.  ha-ha-ha-ha.'  LOL.  Dogs told us this in between two back to back lectures, so I was still stifling my laughter when the lecture was about to begin.  The lecturer (the hungry guy) then turned off the lights.  Then, the guy next to me turns to Arun (this big curry guy, cool guy), and says 'Hey Arun, where did you go? I can only see your teeth', which made this guy in front of us fully crack up laughing.  lololol super inappropriate much, I was cracking up every 5 seconds for the first 5-10 mins of the lecture as a result.  Also, it made me miss Nimalan.  If only it were as easy as turning the lights back on to see Nimalan again.

One more story, just to wrap up.  Lab finished early again this week.  We were stuck waiting around, so we started sharing stupid stories from back in highschool.  One of the stories Dogs shared was about a mate in his class who decided to write a story dissing his English teacher, who the class thought had an uncanny resemblence to a turtle.  Dogs was like 'you're an idiot, what if they find out it was you?', and the guy replied confidently 'Don't worry, I won't put my name on it, duh.'.  Not only did the guy format it in the exact same way he formatted everything he had previously handed in to that teacher (same borders and font), but he was the only person to fail to put his name on the document.  lololol.

Anyway, I'm out.  Lots of stuff happening, but lots unsuitable for blogging about, or gets increasingly lame if typed up.  Some of the stuff I just typed sounds lame; trust me, it was ultra funny at the time, just like ultra balls. 

Seeya around!

P.S. our college is holding a Pokemon Tournament.  Just goes to show that Pokemon is appreciated far and wide, even as far as Adelaide.  Who would've thought.  Now, I'm severely tempted to ask them if they know Chi, hopefully getting the reply 'CHIIIIII!  The guy who travels far and wide, ye?  Give him this, as a present from me.' [Josh just received a Master Ball!]  Then I would use the master ball to catch the girl of my dreams, and the world would be at peace once again.  lololol.
