“How Do I Despise Thee? Let Me Count the Ways” (or: “An Ode to Chemistry 121”)

Heisenberg? Your discovery, true, bore an uncertainty:

whether or not you are useful to me.

Max Born, scholar of 1926:

Tell someone else. I don’t give a shit.

Schrödinger, please! Equate something else!

Like: you + your work = you all by yourself.

Bohr? Quel surpris. Your ideas make me assume

that your personality reflects your (crap) nom-de-plume.

Crystals and matter and Cartesian Coordinates.

Someone please save me – I’m throwing a fit.

Frustrations,

Lindsay

Thanks :). Writing this little poem became a procrastination device while I was studying for – well, you can guess what. It makes me sick to even mention the name.

Hmm I’m considering a science minor (perhaps slightly bio-oriented). Since I already have bio and chem 12, I might have to begin by taking bio 121 + 140 and chem “121” (gasp!) + 123.

Now that I’m in Chem121 I kinda wish I *hadn’t* taken Chem12 so that I could take 111&113 here instead, since I only need one or the other. Sigh.
