It is, like, blindingly obvious that I am not prepared to be an adult
Why do I have to become an adult now?
is there another assignment due, winky
there's another assignment due, isn't there
Of course there's another assignment due, there's another assignment due for the rest of my life.
But, rather, there is an exam tomorrow, two exams on Friday, none of which I am prepared for, then after the exam on Friday I fly out to San Francisco to do two interviews which is already disappointing because if I had been focused on that instead of everything else I could have more interviews planned, I haven't been spending nearly enough time looking for jobs after graduation and it's rapidly approaching. I'm also a dreadfully shitty interviewee and this is something I have failed to prepare for as well. Each time I talk with my dad I make a sudden realization of how under-prepared I am every step of the way and I can tell each time he is perhaps just a bit more mildly disappointed in me.
And to be honest half of me wants to spend the next year or forty flipping burgers and eating left overs out of dumpsters in the alley because at least I will have deserved that.
I just never learned discipline or responsibility and I'm failing at learning it now, and every little thing I do I feel like I am desperately scrambling to keep up with my own absurd obsession with procrastination. I have procrastinated everything. I am behind on life.
Don't worry too much we all are
but of course you will be a failure, the rest of us are luckier than you.
In what way is that any more or less appreciated by animal rights groups than the noggin-hammer?
The bolt bullet or shock are theoretically far more instant then bleeding to death.
Though a large element of it is also from 'yaaay we got some pro-animal welfare passed, oh wait religious groups exerted their religious privilege once again so they get to ignore it' rather then the nitty gritty.

Just had an ECG and blood taken for testing
Not because I am sick, but because the Chinese government demands a bafflingly comprehensive medical report as part of this scholarship application
things they need to double check if I have: leprosy, cerebrospinal meningitis, the plague
I've had a few interviews recently and I feel like I did quite poorly on all of them. I froze up, couldn't think, couldn't remember the names of libraries or technologies that I've used, etc.

Having about 10 over the last few months have helped me tremendously. It really is a practice makes perfect sort of thing.

Those are all things that China has to deal with though, so that makes sense. I think we make them prove that they don't have those things either when they come over here.

Oh well yes, the idea of having a special exemption for traditional practice always annoys me, but not enough to actually give a shit when it's animal killing methods.

There is a box on this form that just says "Spine"
Are they asking if I have one, are they asking if it's normal, are they asking if I would like one as part of my scholarship, who knows

Hahaha Adventure Time made a religious indoctrination joke!
Every time I feel like a failure, I think of the people who suck so much more, despite having access to greater resources.
And every time I feel like a success, I think about the people who have done so much and came from nothing.
Works pretty well at keeping me pretty even-keeled.
Yeah but I have, like, all of the resources.
I refuse to believe that anyone who has had as much access to the tools of success as I have has ever failed as hard as I have.
Failure Olympics time. Let's play. I have been given full-blast all-expenses-paid scholarships three times, on occasionally rather improbable grounds, and have failed out of the relevant schools four times. I don't mean "failed out of the scholarship", I mean failed out of the school, as in bottom-of-the-cohort, didn't-pass-promotional-criteria failure. Beat that.

I don't think "rose to become president" is a failure. Even if he wasn't a good president.
If it makes you feel any better Hitler was rejected from art school and then became homeless - he was an utter failure but then he was able to make something of himself.

Years from now, when I run for political office, this post will be dug up from the dregs of the internet and used against me.

This is a barometer you should not be measuring yourself against, Winky.
Also I want to kick whoever defined "selfish" in this question to refer to an economic agent who chooses only decisions that don't make other people better off, even if the decision makes the agent herself better off. This is not an intuitive definition of selfish, of which economics already has plenty! This is "actively malicious"!

That's a good example of one's status completely overshadowing anything done by the person in question.
Bush tanked the economy like it was his goal in life and started a war that was completely unnecessary. He took whatever good will we had in global politics and set it on fire. I don't care if he managed to get elected president, everything he did with it was complete and utter failure.

Also, a more accurate descriptor of human behavior :P.
You know how sometimes you start up a game of Tetris and you just half-ass it and then half the screen quickly fills up and then you're like "wait, I don't want to lose, I'm going to try hard now!" but it's too late, even though you try really hard you lose soon afterwards.

Sometimes I think my life is kind of like that!
My life has pretty much been like the first part, but then the wild scramble to succeed works every single time because I'm so damn personable.
Which means, ultimately, that I haven't learned a single lesson.
Which I'm fairly sure makes me some sort of psychopath.
Six and a half hours of HIV/AIDs. Paper is outlined, sources are highlighted and bookmarked. I will right tomorrow. I am so fucking sick of HIV right now.
And I have a class on nothing but HIV next quarter.

You know who is sick of HIV?
Africa.
You know who is clamouring for circumcisions? Africa.
Checks for TB and meningitis seem common, as are mosquito-transmitted favorites (dengue, malaria, yellow fever, West Nile, etc.), but bubonic plague and leprosy seem a little excessive in this day and age

Failing at being a president does count though.
It would be unfair to pin all 20 years of GOP malevolence on him, but his was the ass in the seat when the shit hit the fan.
