man there was that one line when he talks about how we ride an eagle to the mountain and the critical moment but Abraham had to walk every damn step and even fall asleep and wake up

that broke my heart

Producing only has 5 seats left and I still haven't heard back from the head of the department. He promised to speed things up if the class was filling quickly, and well...

I need that class damn it!

Muse Among Men

Today in Gay City Bros we looked at comic books. So much SuperDickery. So much hot hot Batman on Robin action. Both figuratively and literally.

"Okay how many people here are familiar with slash?"

BAM: Slash fanart on the table.

(I love that class)

Shorty

I realized I had a three page paper due in fifty minutes approximately an hour ago.

Finished that sucker in fourty minutes.

Shorty

that is a feat I would probably not be able to accomplish

I am extremely meticulous with my writing

this is why I hate in-class essays

Skull Man

in-class essays are a snap, just gotta outline that sucker and don't second-guess yourself and remind yourself just how goddamn low the competition's going to be

I have a hard time lowering my standard of writing, is the thing

also one of my professors is completely out of touch with how long it takes to complete his tests

here is what the midterm consisted of:

four written definitions of some terms he'd introduced in class, with a minimum of two sentences necessary

eight short answer responses to quotations from the readings, which must consist of one sentence which identifies the author and the work, one which contextualizes the quote, and two which explain its significance to the class

two one-page essays, written from two prompts (our choice from a list of four)

all in fifty minutes

it was HORSESHIT

I wrote like a madman, smoke was coming off my goddamn paper when I turned it in

I got an 85 (it would have been a 91 had it not been for one piece of stupidity on my part: I only answered 7 in the short answer section, due to miscounting)

Zonugal

Short, I have had tests like that. For a history class we given 30 terms, people, or events to study up on. Come class our professor would randomly select 15 for us to have access to and in fifty minutes he's have to write as much as possible on five subjects. And when I say write as much, I mean it. He told us that five facts about each subject would get us at least a C. I ended up writing two-three pages, each with twelve facts, for each of the five subjects.

Apparently the T.A. didn't think that was worth anything though, so I got a C-.

in-class essays are fine, you just start writing and don't stop until you're finished

satansfingers

finished 20 pages of my paper at 6am, which makes it a longer draft than i expected it to be (in a good way)

mission accomplished everyone

time to pack it in

slept through class, though

GreasyKidsStuff

Skipped 8:30 class due to disease
Went to 10:00 am meeting with prof about another class, while hopefully avoiding the prof who's class I skipped
Skipping the former prof's 11:30 class due to disease

Fuck being sick

Reading a 200+ page article all about Christ's genitals in Renaissance art.

Welcome to grad school.

I'll give you some pictures instead of a giant article with some genitals in it

Done two of my three weeks of inorganic mystery salt lab
I know one of my salts for sure, one salt maybe, and the other four anions for sure
Seems okay

Have you tried any flame tests?

Not at all conclusive but quick and easy and it might help you differentiate between two possibles..

I have a paper due by midnight and I cant think of anything.

In “Annabell Lee” Poe crafts a fairy-tale like story of death and loss that takes place long ago and far away. “Annabell Lee” was the last thing Poe would ever write and it may arguably be considered the capstone to his work. Readers might be tempted to look for hidden meanings in the poem's many images and repeated motifs, yet this would be a mistake. Rather, readers should realize that the power of “Annabell Lee” is not in any allegorical hidden meaning but rather in the lyrical nature of the work – in its beautiful rhythm, far-away imagery and its sad quiet story of loss and longing.

That's all I got. suggestions?

Really?

That's stupid...Even the first year labs where I teach have boxes of bunsen's just there for the taking.

we don't have gas hooked up to our chem labs in the new science building at my university
my microbiology lab was gas because we need to constantly have rising air to avoid contamination, but for chem we have gotten by with hot plates so far
i'm assuming the prof is going to have some sort of neat fire device next week

unintentional

perhaps
