Musings on my neverending quest for sugar

Shades of organic chemistry...

So there I was, sitting in the vast lecture hall surrounded by fellow students, with -5 minutes on the clock. (That's right, negative 5 minutes. And I wasn't going to budge until someone made me.)  I duly noted that out of the 70 bodies in the entire room, nobody had gotten up to hand in the midterm. This is good, I thought. I'm not the only one sitting here absolutely stupified.

I resumed staring at the page, fuming that the sample midterm, the homework, the class examples, the discussion questions, everything that we had done on these concepts in class was a GAZILLION times easier than the packet of problems sitting in front of me.

The professor offered an apology at the front of the room: "Would it help if I told you I'm sorry?"

I looked up.

In a word, no.
