Lecture Room Geography

This is what the medical school lecture room looks like. Let me explain the pictures on this map.

Aces: One day a professor told a student, "you're my ace in the hole, but let's hear from the rest of the class." Now, if you say "Ace in the hole" everybody knows who you are talking about. There are some other people in this row - they ask questions too - I have nothing in common with them.

Gunners: Self-explanatory. They are so far away that I have no idea who they are.

Utah: People from Utah. Married, obviously.

Sex and the City: These girls are not wild or anthing, they are more like a "Charlotte" than a "Samantha." They are super friendly, but they make efforts to look good in class that the rest of us abandoned long ago. When they walk through the halls with their stillettos, I hear the theme music of the show in my head.

Jude Law: A guy who vaguely looks like Jude Law

Girls Next Door: Meg Ryan, Winnie Cooper, Joey Potter. In this row, you will find girls that remind you of somebody who used to live next door to you.

Freddie Prinze Jr.: A guy who really looks like Freddie Prinze Jr.

Blonde Doctors: A row of girls that are almost all blonde. I'm not making a blonde joke here because they are all smart too, but seriously - why do they all sit together?

India: People from India, and people who wish they were from India. (aka token white friend)

Frat Party: Frat Party. I give them many kudos for asking, "Is it true if you don't use it, you lose it?" during the male reproductive system lecture.

Collegehumor: Guys that are more or less constantly looking at Collegehumor.com (see original post - back row geography)

Iceberg: Backrow Ballers, so chill, so baltic - you probably can't handle it.

Borat
: Ashot. (also see - Ashot drunk)

J. Crew: Two people who look like they just walked out of the J. Crew catalog. Always, seriously - ALWAYS, all the time, no matter what.

Patricks: In this section, you will find people named Patrick.

--By the Backrowballers (minus Sarah, because she's skipping class - what a jerk!)

Update: The original funny man to make such a map is Ah yes, medical school. Go to his blog for another medical school map with more details!

If you don't lose it...you do lose it...right? Or don't? Either this is a typo or too deep for those of us not in medical school.

Now, it's not a typo anymore, joke's on you! Way to be an English major and show up all the science people (minus Mariam because she was an English major too)

Now I know what you guys do during class!! Hilarious! Casey (my wife) actually came across this blog first. She was convinced that I was McDreamy. I had to explain to her that she is the only one that thinks that! haha!

Making a diagram of our class isn't and putting "clever" titles isn't original. You copied another bloggers idea and even used some of the same categories.

I just hope I'm Patrick Dempsey and not Patrick Stewart...

Farrah said...

Now, now - we can't all be McDreamy. But you can make up your own McName... like McTravis or McPatrick... creative, huh!

well i sit with the people from JCrew I guess but I have no idea who they are... while I could hazard a few guesses, they might sound crude. We need more rows.

Farrah said...

I think the JCrew people migrated since I made this post. It was during an FCP lecture, so not everybody was there.

I e-mailed the fake doctor and let him know we had the same kind of post. He was cool with it. Now I bet anonymous REALLY feels like an "ass in the hole" and also a party pooper who is no fun.

Oh sure Beeman, leave me with Patrick Stewart. We all know that I can pull off the Mc-etc thing better. After all, I'm pale, awkward, and lanky - the perfect Irishman.

Well whatever, I can totally rock out the Patrick Stewart thing. From now on, I'll ask all my questions in class with his bold, booming voice. Hahahaha........ask questions in class..........
