GAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

I loathe my Biology lab with a passion reserved for mass-murderers, backstabbers, and that fucking egg song that Simmons keeps playing.

You see, there are a LOT of really cute girls in my Biology class. ZERO PERCENT of them are enrolled in the same discussion/lab section as me. What are the odds of that? It drives me nuts. Not only this, but the people that SHOULD be attractive girls are instead awkward, socially lost, think-they're-smarter-than-they-really-are little kids. The kind of kids with anime girls in giant space robo-suit desktop backgrounds on their computers. The kind of kids who actually BRAG about having read the entire chapter prior to each lecture and then do anywhere between 10-25% worse on the exam than you. The kind of kids that bring about exchanges like this:

T.A.: What variables do we want to test in our hypothetical, scholarly-journal-based imaginary experiment?

Kid: Well, we should do all this stuff that might be important if we were conducting an experiment sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency on which the lives of all Americans depended, but is really completely beyond our means, and largely unnecessary for the actual purpose of the experiment we are doing.

T.A.: Um, well, that's not really important in this case. We would rather test the things that emphasize the skills we are aiming to teach you in this experiment...

Kid: BUT WE TALKED ABOUT THOSE THINGS IN LECTURE! I READ ALL ABOUT THEM IN THE TEXTBOOK! I ADDED THEM TO MY NOTECARD THAT I NEVER USE BUT MAKE FOR STUDY PURPOSES ANYWAY! I COULD HAVE SPENT THAT TIME TROLLING FOR LULZ ON TEH FORUMS!

Now, I don't really enjoy doing work in bio lab. In fact, I do my best to avoid work in most any form at all while at lab. However, this is contingent on the fact that the work required in lab is the most mind-numbing, skull-crushing, non-scientific crap you can imagine. Most of the time it feels like I am in a 4th grade English class rather than a collegiate biology course. I understand that we are supposed to be learning how to "communicate" science, but if I have to write another bullshit lab synopsis on a lab I never actually performed, I'm gonna flip. I promise you, high and mighty lab coordinator, I feel fully competent at recognizing, analyzing, and incorporating scholarly resources into other people's research. STOP MAKING ME DO IT. LET ME MUTATE SOME PLANTS. ANYTHING BUT ANOTHER DATABASE EXERCISE.

Of course, though, when we finally do actually do science, everybody starts complaining about the amount of work involved. JUST FUCKING DO IT. IT'S NOT THAT HARD. Be happy you're not just formatting sources and refining search parameters. Stop ignoring scientific stuff that is actually interesting because you want to go home and look for furries on the interwebs.
