Corrected
Dr. Solo e-mailed the OChem students yesterday, asking those of us who have a class before his (I have MBIO) to e-mail back. I did as requested. However, I wasn’t expecting to get an e-mail back 10 minutes later… thanking me not only for my e-mail, but also the link… to my website… in my signature… recounting Monday’s events… especially the parts about OChem and the Red Army. Oh, I lose.
So I walked into OChem today, fearing the worst… but everything seemed generally in order. We went over bonding and Lewis structures for about 45 minutes when all of a sudden a new slide appeared! Yeah, it was excerpts from Monday’s blog entry. Dr. Solo proceeded to correct several errata in the aforementioned entry, which are now presented below for correctness, along with my revised description.
- Organic Chemistry is not as scary as I believed it was going to be; our teacher is a Ukrainian who was a Major in the Soviet Union Red Army (okay, for three months). The book is Greek to me; I’ve never been a chemistry kid, but today wasn’t bad at all, and I’m very relieved that Dr. Solo has a good sense of humor. Luckily Jessica is in the class (as well as in my micro class) and she is going to help me with OChem while I help her with micro. To each his strength…
I have to say, I’ve never had this personal of a welcome to class before… :angel:

Oh no!
I know the feeling, when you say something in a blog about someone and having the people themseleves find out.
Like one of my blog posts about idiots at school, well, some of the people I don’t particularly like (to say the least :angel:) at school, as people may know, found my blog and that post, thought I was talking about them, and almost started a little bit of trouble in the middle of an IT class. Oops.
But yeah, I do know the feeling, you really do have to watch what you say in blogs, they can be really easy to find by the people you’re talking about, even out of all the websites in the world.
You never know, your teacher could just have easily have typed ‘Seth Kinast’ in Google and came up with your site, it could happen :ph34r:

Its actually quite easy to find you Seth. But putting it in an email signature. Wows. Good sport though. So happy googling my name gets you nowhere.

D’oh, you should be more careful with your sig links, especially if you happen to talk about the people your e-mailing in your blog. I bet that kinda slipped your mind when you E-mailed him.
Just be glad that he wasn’t angry. going through college with a professor mad at you could = bad grades.

I dunno, I think that’s pretty cool! I mean, true, it could’ve been rather bad if the prof didn’t have a great sense of humor, but aside from the embarrassment factor… it never hurts having professors know not just who you are, but *who you are*. You never know what letters of recommendation, networking, friendships, etc might come out of this.
Just don’t say anything bad about him from here on out, because he’s *totally* reading you now.

Sha, and it was never my intention to say anything off… and I don’t think I did. Still embarrassing for someone to find out you were talking about them though
