You Could Probably See This Building From Space
So, in regards to Microbiology: I am apparently the Voice of the Students, as no one wanted to email anyone about what was happening. Rather than stick my head in dirt, I emailed the teacher and the director of online studies and around 8:30 A.M. the next day I got a call from the microbiology teacher. I guess she sees me as the de facto leader of the brigade against her and wanted parlay. Either way, we chatted for a good 20 minutes about what we wanted in regards to the class, what I thought we could improve on, and I found it to be an overall diplomatic and worthwhile event. I then went and got a 84 on my microbiology exam, which I find to be just okay enough. I'm a pretty big snob about getting all As, but with this class I'll take whatever passing grade I am gifted.
I dragged my body out of bed today at a reasonable time (8 am) to do my Soviet Workouts with Alex, then afterwards I was quickly shipped off to a funeral that thankfully only lasted about 45 minutes and I was back at my apartment after 2 hours. I'm looking forward to tomorrow, where I can relax with him all day and not have to worry about a funeral interrupting me, maybe we can even go to the park.
He and I like to go to the nicer part of town often just to walk on the bike paths to get a semblance of exercise other than deadlifting multi-gallon jugs, and we passed a place that was surprisingly busy. I gasped a lot and pointed at it like a child while Alex, being a native of the city, explained that it was a restaurant modeled after Blade Runner. I don't like Blade Runner, I think it's overhyped, but the set design is fantastic in my opinion as well as the lighting and worldbuilding, and for that I like the ~aesthetic~. I didn't want to get too close to it because there were a lot of people skirting PPE guidelines, but I got a blurry photograph on my ancient phone of the logo.
Don't ask me what that says.

I also found this much nicer picture on google of what this place looks like. It is nauseatingly bright.

Kudos to you for not sticking your head in the sand and becoming the voice of the students in regards to your microbiology class. It sounds like it had a useful outcome, which is great. And congrats on the 84. Like you, I was often a snob about getting As, but there were definitely some classes that I took what I could get and was happy about it. Especially when I started law school.
I hope you get to enjoy your downtime today.

Thanks! I appreciate that. I'm outspoken for a lot of reasons and at this point I find it easier to try and make things right for current and future students rather than ignore the problem and hope it goes away. I usually never struggled in classes (Other than Gross Anatomy, which I ended up getting an A in after much exhaustion) so this was a shock to me to not only be failing, but the entire class is failing with me.
I hope you have a chill day too!
