this morning.

my biology teacher, a rather stern young man with a sense of humor that has probably landed him in petty fistfights before, nonchalantly blurted out:

“we need the scientific process even in our everyday lives…for example, when you theorize that your present relationship is no long as exciting as it used to be and you suspect that your partner is involved with someone else…you go through the rigors of the scientific process and see if she/he has indeed someone new…and if it is confirmed, then you conclude that perhaps, the love is no longer there and you need to move on.”

then he obnoxiously laughed like a maniac, and scoured the room for students who found his analogy as entertaining as he thought it to be.

duh.

if only that were the case, then this world would have been a little less scathing than how it really is. if only that were true, fewer people’s sanities would be hanging by a thread, and begging just a little more pull for it to snap completely.

i knew he meant it as a joke — but it was very lame, and rather insensitive to the complexities of the human emotions. i know, i know, he might have meant it as a light banter that need not be considered seriously — but again, it was a lame analogy altogether — and, compounded with his monotonous speaking voice and his apparent lack of lesson plan, i was all the more convinced that his class would just be my napping time.

zzz.
