Dr. Hill's Birthday
Dr. Hill is my Chemistry professor and thursday was his birthday so Elisabeth, Jillian and I decided to celebrate. We had so much fun. Elisabeth and Jillian are two other freshman bio majors, Jillian was my roommate at Summit. The three of us started our own little club, the FHBC, future housewives of Bryan College. We cook and knit and crochet and now we throw parties for our science professors.
Elisabeth asked Dr. Hill what his favorite molecule was, so he told her and drew it for her and told her why it was his favorite molecule. (men are so funny and easy to surprise, why is that?) It was this molecue with two 5-ring carbon chains that he got his doctrate on. So we made little cupcakes and got these food coloring markers and drew the element names on the cupcakes and arranged them in the shape of the molecule. We also got a whole bunch of balloons and wrote elements on those. An interesting thing we found out about Dr. Hill is that he translates the Bible into Kingon for fun, so I got on-line and looked up how to write aned say happy birthday in Klingon (it's now my favorite phrase and you will no doubt be hearing it from me next time you see me).
So on thursday before we had lab, we all sneaked up to the third floor admin. Jillian went and got the rest of the science faculty involved while Elisabeth and I hid and guarded the balloons, three garbage bags full, and cupcakes. We hid the balloons in Dr. Hartz's office, snuck into the chem lab and I drew Klingon on the board, Jillian distracted Dr. Hill, and Elisebeth arranged cupcakes in his office (we aren't allowed to eat anything in chem lab). I snuck out of the lab and pretended I was just walking up the stairs. I talked to Jillian and Dr.Hill for a while and then we let him go into the lab. We waited to take a picture of him looking at the board before we ran down to Dr. Hartz's office, grabbed the balloons, and ran to Dr. Hills office. There the three of us each took a bag and started shaking it furiously to get the balloons out while laughing insanely. This is when Dr. Hill came in. Then he left. Dr. Hartz came into see what we had done and got Dr. Hill to come back with her. He really liked his molecule, he had to rearrange it a bit. Then we gave him a card Jillian had made, it had a recipie on one side (stuff like 3 crazy bio majors, 5 g. latex, 20 g C6H12O6) and on the other side Jillian had manipulated wire into the shape of happy birthday and put a picture of us on it which she had burned the edges of, because something Dr. Hill always says is that all chemists are closet pyros.
So on the whole I think Dr. Hill really liked it. He's such a fun professor. And we decided that we were now celebrating all the science faculty's birthdays from now on. We've already made plans for Dr. Barnett, the botany prof.
