disciplinary pride

walking around campus last week, I passed by the chemistry building, which has a sand and rock garden out front. one morning, I noticed that someone had written in the sand outside the chem building

CHEM IS BOHRING

for a brief moment, I thought the message was left by some disgruntled undergrad who was being dragged through some general ed requirements. then I got it. hilarious. I actually stopped and laughed out loud. unfortunately, by the time I came back with a camera, someone had returned the sand to its previous, uniform, unamusing state, so I can't post a picture, but at least I can recount the story.
