I hate failing a class that I'm making a B+ in because I'm not going to pass the lab portion, largely due to the fact that my section isn't getting to dissect because someone forgot to order enough animals, and our teacher is retiring after this semester and really doesn't give a damn.

Can you drop it and retake it another semester? Maybe with a competent teacher you'd ace it.

By the way, that is one of my favorite lines from one of my favorite movies. :)

Both lines are pretty darn good, but I've always been partial to:

"There's a shortage of perfect breasts in the world. It would be a shame to damage yours." :)
"The plural of antecdotes is not evidence."

I don't think there's a line in that movie that I don't like.

Can't drop now without penalty. And if I take the course again next year, I have to take the Lecture and Lab over, even if I did well in the Lecture. And I'm already advised for Fall.

Alea jacta est. *shrugs* Well, maybe they'll replace el crapo teacher with a new and awesome professor, and you can ace the class in the spring.

It's the journey, not the destination. I always wanted my life to be a work of art. Maybe it's just supposed to be a Tragedy.
