Passing Notes in Class

At some point towards the beginning of the semester one of the girls in my “study group” started communicating with us via notes during lecture. I know this may come as a shock to you, but sometimes lectures are boring. So we write notes as a diversionary tactic to pass the time. (We also make up names for the people in class who ask annoying/dumb questions, but that’s another post for a different time.)

Here’s an actual exchange that took place during a class.

KR - The 1st day I met [Classmate who's name has been redacted for her safety], her facial features reminded me of Ursela from the little mermaid.
KC - Look at this stuff...isn't it neat...wouldn't you think my collections complete....wouldn't you think I'm a girl...a girl who has...everything?
CK - Wait...are we quoting the Little Mermaid? "Kiss the girl..." - only in peds [*Ed note: See earlier post about the competition between regular and traditional students. Said traditional students are currently in a Pediatric rotation.]
CN - I gotta pee. And you spelled Ursula wrong.
KC - I was the little Mermaid when I was younger. It was my favorite movie. I had a fish tank, a brush, comb, toothbrush, cup, soap container. Plus I would swim in the pool like a mermaid.
KC - I love beef jerky.
KR - Teriyaki is the best.
KC - I agree! Ever had turkey jerky, it's pretty good too.
KR - We make our own @ home. Holy Food Dehydrater! Fun for the whole family.

So, fear not, the future of your healthcare is secure.
