Today in class...

Thanks everyone, for the congratulatories! I'm almost at 600 now, haha.

For my "today in class":
Last week, I stayed up until 4 A.M. finishing a rather difficult math assignment. The next day in class, I realized that I left it at home... So instead of listening to the lecture and taking notes, I redid half of the assignment to hand in. Tomorrow, there is another homework assignment due, and I literally spent 9 hours on it because I didn't have the information from the lecture or the notes (I don't know anyone else in that class).

No joke! It sucks, serious. I spent most of my day researching online for snippets on how to find the friggn d'Alembert solution to wave equations using characteristics and domain of dependence. It just so happened that the notes the prof posts online from past years were missing vital parts from this section.

And as promised, here are the "Today in class" submissions from yesterday. Huge thank you to those who contributed! Keep them coming guys, I loved reading them all. If something happens to you in class, make sure you share it here with everyone; we want to hear about it!



Today in class, I didn't pay attention because I was reading about Android development. -Andy W

Today in class, nothing happened because I wasn't there. -Seorava

Today in class, I snuck out during the break for a cigarette. The next lecture? The dangers of smoking. Cue dirty looks from my fellow med students... -Headspace

Today in class, a teacher walked in and, upon nobody acknowledging him, demanded that we try it again - walked out, and walked back in. Nobody knew what he meant, so the same thing happened. He walked in and out of our room about 4 times before giving up and leaving - he never actually did anything, just walked in and out a bunch of times. -Dirtyepic

Today in class, I learned that 1 in 4 refugees in the world is Afghan. And that there are environmental refugees (Japanese eathquake refugees). -Daily01

Today in class, I caught the prof sleeping. -DrQmn1

Today in class, I farted all day from eating bad pizza. The guy next to me (in the stench) got the blame! -Elexerdelex

Today in class, a girl next to me farted, realized I had heard her, then attempted to blame it on another nearby girl. -Alpha

Today in class, I ate a California Burrito, it was delicious. -Asty

Today in class, I played a game of naps. -Sporktar

Today in class, the electricity went out randomly, and all the doors slammed shut in the halway. There was a girl with a flashlight on her iPhone, and for a second, I thought it was the Zombiepocalypse. -Christophe

Today in class, we're all hanging out, listening to the mind-numbing lecture in Intro to computers about what the different parts of a URL are. The girl beside me has been lying her head on the table all day, kinda sweating, seeming generally miserable. She lets out this little whimper and the next thing I hear is the splash of vomit hitting the table. It's covered her notebook, textbook and laptop. We're in the second row, so the prof sees it all and responds with his own upchucking (guess he's got a weak stomach). Shrieking and general panicked vomit avoidance ensue. I'm loling. Boring lecture is cut short. Everything went better than expected. -AnthropoSeptic

Today in class, I wasn't there. I was skipping and skateboarding outside school. -Tak47

Today in criminal law class, we were talking about porn law in different countries. An australian student made a little presentation, starting with: "after hours and hours of hard and dirty research..." and it went on for the whole presentation. it was kind of funny, but it seemed a little forced.. -Slyght

Today in class, I fell asleep and when I woke up, my friends told me that the professor pointed me out to the whole class who laughed at me, and I didn't wake up. -Ironchefman

Today in class, I was writing something then I went to scratch my head with the same pen - I ended up stabbing myself in the ear with the pen. -Ada


And my favourite of today...

One of my classmates (physics degree) told me she'd been asked to prepare the answer to a quantum physics question for her tutorial the next day. she needed my help.

I worked through the question with her, then went out drinking a bit late. The next day in my own tutorial I fell asleep; I woke to hear my tutor asking me to solve the very same problem I had worked through the previous night. Stifling a wry smile, I sleepily got up and scrawled through the derivations at a speed that clearly surprised and greatly impressed the professor. Then I sat back down, and for extra dramatics, immediately closed my eyes again.

Thus I showed that sometimes it is ok to drink and derive :)
