The Hangover

Dear Hangover ~ 

 

 

 

I'm majoring in pre-med and I have to take a lot of science classes. I just started a high-level chemistry class with a really intensive lab. One of the first days, we were working with a corrosive chemical and examining how it erodes metal. I had a question about the reaction, and was carrying my flask up to the front to ask my TA about it. I was apparently a little over eager to ask my question because on the way there I tripped and the flask broke, spilling the stuff all over the floor. It'll be interesting to watch the floor erode over the next few weeks. 

 

 

 

Sincerely,

Dear Hangover ~ 

 

 

 

I have a really early discussion Friday mornings. However, since it is the first week of class I decided to go out anyway. Had a good time, remembered nothing. Needless to say, as it happens so often, I ended up oversleeping and missed my discussion. I e-mailed my TA and said that I had to run to the emergency room that morning since I didn't feel well, so that I wouldn't get docked for not being there. He e-mailed me back, saying, 'Wow, the ER. That must have been one hangover. Next time you're going to lie to a TA, make sure you don't hit on him in a bar the night before.'

Dear Hangover~ 

 

 

 

Last semester I studied abroad in northern Africa. On the plane ride back to the states, I sat next to an archeologist working in the area. When I told him I went to UW-Madison, he asked about a professor in the anthropology department. I said I didn't know her, and he proceeded to tell me about a fling they had while on a dig and all these crazy stories about her. Lo and behold, I walked into my anthropology class this semester, and the woman discussed was my professor. Everytime she starts talking about dinosaurs and using big words, I just laugh to myself and think about how that guy told me she can party like a sailor on leave.
