Conversations

Here's some of the nerdy and funny conversations I overheard or talked about in the past couple of years. So, I think I need to refresh. :D


Calc 1 Teacher: I think it's really nerdy for professors in the department to name their dogs in the name of scientists. So, I named my fish in the name of Mathematician.


Studying Physiology
Rob (quizzing each other): Tell me the flow chart of Penile Erection Reflex.
Me: Ugh... I studied it last night but now I can't remember.
Rob: How dare u forgot this?


Tutoring chemistry to a Junior High school girl
Me: woo, TI 89 calc; you know I have the same one too.
Student: Ya, I bought because that's the most expensive in the store.


Me: I think I only have time to date during the summer.
Kyle: Like what, an internship?
Me: Yap, applications are out.


(Anne and I are at the Genetics professor's office where half of the table are filled with fruit flies test tubes.)
Me: Wow, Fruitflies in test tubes. That's so cool.
Professor; What? U hungry?
Me: Oh, I can take some but Anne is a vegetarian.


Genetics Discussion Section
We are solving a problem about a girl having recessive gene diseases which are a cystic fibrosis and knee patella, about how many of her kids would have that disease but the text book was wrong.
TA: Let's give up on this; I will ask the professor.
Me: Ya, right. Who would want to go out with a person without knee caps.


Anne: You asians are smart. I think there's something wrong with it.
Me: Possibly mutation.
Anne: No, epistasis.


A visit to the nuclear reactor
Professor Choe: At the bottom of the reactor, you can find so many things like name batches, glasses and watches.


Particle Physics Professor
- Particle decays in terms of atomic mass unit are so cute.
- (At the reactor) If something goes wrong, the alarm lights will be all up in the control room like christmas tree.

Math 3160 professor:
- Problems at this level, you normally do what you have to do and hope for the best it is still true.
- (after four blackboard long derivation) I think I erased what to prove.


Sigmund: Long distance relationships are like dating a computer.


Nate: Pre-meds are intense in my physiology class.
Me: Ya, they are neurotic.
Nate: I hope I don’t see them in med school.


Zach: Why didn't you come to thermodynamics homework group section?
Me: I think it's too much entropy in the Physics Rotunda.


Me: Physics is way cooler that Electrical engineering. You guys are just using our theories.
Hun: But you guys have no idea how to apply.
Me: Now you are arguing like a girl.


Me: So I stop drink because I can't differentiate when I'm drunk.
My friend: Oh, I thought you stopped because the other worse things you've done so far when you're drunk.
Me: What could be worse than me sucking at Math?


Kyle: You don't really have to say you are in the marching band if you think it's too nerdy. Just say that you are in drumline instead.
Me: I think being in a physics dpt is good enough to be nerdy.


On a date
Boy; Skii movie?
Girl: No, Sex and the City?
Boy: Nah..................... Oh you know what, I found a cool lecture online about a string theory.
Girl: Aha, let's watch that instead.


High School Chemistry Teacher in Burma: When I was working for government, they told the research department to earn cash like other departments, so we decided to sell BBQ on the street just in front of research park.


After Biology Chapter 10: Reproduction lecture in senior year high school
SZP (right after teacher left): OK, girls, who wanna go to practical with me for chapter 10?


High school Math tuition
U Tun Yee: Look at the naughty triangle.
Us: What?
U Tun Yee: I mean Triangle BAD.


Me: Why we have to learn about f(x) funtions?
U Tun Yee: Because they make the math a lot easier.
Me: Well, they are not easy on me right now though.


High School Biology Teacher in Burma (Actually, he was really mad about our low midterm scores.)
U Tin Hlaing (in front of people in class): Pyone Pwint, what did your mom tell you about why you need great biol score to get into medical school? What did your mom teach you?
Me: My mom said if i get a degree from medical school, I will get a rich husband.
PS: In case, you don't know my mom is a doctor. :D


I will add more if I remember more.

Love
