I spoke with Dr. Amuleru-Marshall today during a break in our Substance Abuse class about what has been going on in Biostats. He said he had not had any students talk to him yet, but he had talked with the Biostat tutor about it. I gave him my viewpoint and what I thought was happening and he thanked me and said he'd look into the matter. He said that they have had a really hard time finding a teacher for the class. The last teacher wasn't very good and she left after the hurricane. They had one of the other teachers stand in last year, but though he was a very good teacher, he wasn't a biostatician so didn't teach it from that view point. This prof we have now is hard-core mathematician. So he is teaching things from that vantage point and I guess we're just having a hard time keeping up. I just hope that those in my class who are out to get the prof don't try to take it upon themselves to ruin his chances at teaching here because they don't like him. But from the sound of things, that's what they're going to try and do, ruin him on the student evaluations.
I watched Underworld: Evolution tonight. It was more violent than the first one, but I liked it and found it decent enough.
Thinking about going shopping tomorrow... maybe early morning. We'll see how early I wake up. Pretty sure it'll go something like this:
*beep* *beep* *beep*
I'll scramble to snooze the alarm so as not to wake my roomie, look at the time, groan inwardly and ask myself how could it be "such 'n such" a time already! Think about getting up... then think about how warm and comfy I am right now... try, albeit feebly, to convince myself to roll out of bed, feel unpersuaded by the argument and roll over and fall asleep, with the last thought being, "I'll wake up when the snooze is up"...
... only of course not to get up until the above process has been repeated for a minimum of 4 times
