Cogknition

I go to meet a professor who's class I need to graduate (a biopsychology class, in the psychology building, run by the psychology department take note of this, it is important later). I have been trying to force add this class for a couple weeks now, and I finally convinced her to meet me to sign the slip. As she is signing the slip she asks if I am a neuroscience minor. I reply that I am not, I am a biopsychology student. She looks at me warily and says "Well, I teach this class like a graduate seminar. We are going to be reading some pretty stiff papers. I know a lot of psych students who just need a 400-level class but they hate neuroscience. I just want you to consider that." I stand there, dumbfounded, considering her words. I try very hard to understand what she could possibly be implying.
- I am a psychology student so I am therefore uninterested in neuroscience
- I am a psychology student, therefore I do not have the abilities to take neuroscience seriously
- I am not a pre-med nor a neurosciene minor, therefore I am not worth her time
There isn't anyway I can interpret these words without realizing that she is insulting me to my face. I manage to say "I would be surprised if it were anything else" and leave. I take her signature and I force add myself to the class.

Wtf? Next semester is going to suck.
