christina has been studying too hard.
August 1st, 2006 by Lawrence David
christina has been taking her first steps towards med school this summer. the hah-vahd post-bac program accepted her and she’s nearly completed with her first general chemistry class.
i’m so proud of her – she’s been kicking the class’ ass.
that having been said, i worry sometimes that she’s in a little too deep. for instance, i went to bed late the other night and found chris fidgeting in her sleep.
“sweetie, what’re you dreaming about?” i asked.
“they came into the room,” she replied with eyes closed.
“who?” it’s always fun asking probing questions when someones deeply asleep.
“them.”
“who’s them?”
“the molecules.” (things were about to get good.)
“what did they do sweetie?”
“they bonded.”
sadly, just when christina’s description of her dream looked most promising, the sleeping girl shut down and refused to answer any more inane questions. nonetheless, it thrills me to no end to see that my girlfriend anthropomorphisizes atoms in her sleep.
I don’t remember saying that at all. I can’t believe I was dreaming about chemistry! Just yesterday I was laughing at other post bacs who were confessing their chemistry dreams. I can’t believe I’ve become one of them. Perhaps I am in too deep…
