finals week. echhh/ operation: prank the professors

trying really hard to read biochem, when all i wanna do is [insert random unproductive activity here]

a little recap on operation prank the professors:

mark, chris and I did all the chem professors, while the other students did all the bio ones… since there are like twice as many bio professors

Dr. White (my favorite professor or ALL time, had him every semester for 3 years): we set up the OJ simpson crime scene in his room, I put caution tape all over his front door, we put masking tape in shape of a dead body on the floor in his office, put a bloody glove, purple topped vile with EDTA (fake), and another vile with blood in the middle. Then we wallpapered his office with quotes from peter atkins (author of our physical chemistry book). when i asked him the next day how his morning was, he said he usually doesnt like random vandalism, but he really enjoyed our creativity.

Dr. Huang (ochem prof): Mark and i spent 2 hrs making a pinata of a cyclohexane, after repeatedly ignoring mark’s remarks of “i dont think this will work”, “i think we should scrap this idea..” we successfully made a pinata out of cardboard boxes. So we strung that up in his office and we put in it all of his stuff lying around the office that were small enough to stick into the pinata, my friend chris also stuck star wars pictures all over his office, cuz apparently he really likes them.

Dr. Hodges: i wrote every element on the periodic table on the back of a plate and wall papered her office with them, turned out a lot nicer than we expected, also set a booby trap on top of her door so that when she opens it glitter falls all over her headdd, and chris put so much yarn in her office that she couldnt really get around..

Dr. Berezuk (my research mentor): i actually didnt do most of it, but i did contribute a giant kinesin 2 molecule that i made, and stuck it in his office… im hoping he’ll keep it.

and as for the BEST PART/WORST PART of the whole night.

sitka decides to have diarhea THAT NIGHT, i decided to bring him with us for fun, and he diarheas up and down the second floor hall way, it was bascially like spilling chocolate milk, except it smelled horrible, everyone else seem to have found a kick out of it, but i was the one who had to clean it up! the professors thought it was part of the prank, becasue when they walked in this morning it reeked.
