I don't even think most of these are about archaeology
halfway through this page about the mayan collapse I start detailing a plan to seize control of the city's water supply
Haha! Oh God...
But yeah, that is frustrating when you go back and you are like "What the hell?!"
Usually I at least have a vague idea of what I was talking about but sometimes I can tell when I was starting to drift off during class as my writing gets really huge and sloppy.
holy shit Viscount I went to school right down the street from UMass (like three miles down the street but w/e)
stay away from Amherst College math classes they are stupid hard and they've been teaching them the same way for a hundred years, only now you're allowed to program individual problems in Matlab rather than writing them all out by hand
Cool!
And I'll definitely keep that in mind.
Viscount Islands on
I want to do with you

This and strange caricatures of the professor and/or a classmate are sure signs I will get almost nothing out of the notes I took during that period of a class.
For the history classes I took, I started the habit of writing any dates the professor gave in the left margin of my notes so I could easily keep track of when stuff happened when looking through my notes (while also making it much easier to write up a timeline in preparation for a test, which I found to be the best way for me to study).
Probably the only good study habit I developed in college, the rest was just me being lucky enough to be able to quickly absorb information and retain it long enough to take the test.

I always feel an urge to doodle when I'm bored but I can't doodle worth a damn.

I do the same thing. I found it especially helpful if I decided to quote something a professor said during a lecture in a paper for another class.
Can I just say how much I love footnotes? It's going to make this paper due tomorrow a bit easier to deal with. But the paper on Thursday has to be in goddamn MLA.

And it makes me sad.
That's the beauty of it, though, you don't have to be any good at it. It just makes for an interesting time later when you're studying and you end up trying to figure out just what the hell you were trying to draw instead.
Stay Puft on

My law school, much like the majority of American public colleges/universities/professional schools, does professor reviews at the end of the semester.
I wrote the following on a particularly awful professor's review yesterday:
I'd write something constructive but he has tenure, so what's the point?
Then I gave him the lowest marks possible for all of the objective questions.
Only one more class left with the man and then I never have to see him again....
the moon is a really up and coming place in supercriminal real estate
I'd be too afraid of messing with Dracula
up here we actually have an agreement! it is pretty great, he hypnotizes all our henchmen, thugs, lackeys, stooges and what have you in exchange for... well, best not to discuss that
send an expensive ancient coin you bought back in time to the illuminati with instructions to give that coin to your younger self 1000 years later so he could sell it and make his wealth starting his company

But now he's a good guy.
Thus defeating your point.
when i watched it he was a bad guy!
dichotomy never said he couldn't have a change of heart if he became a supervillain!

there was a matching section
which consisted entirely of SI units
no circuits complex enough to require Kirchhoff's Rules
the optics section consisted of drawing a ray diagram for a converging lens with objects inside and outside the focal point
and uh, computing resistivity from a graph of current vs. voltage given diameter and length of the wire

Bah.
that makes me angry
sometimes I wonder why the intellectual community can't just sit down and compromise and make one form the standard for all disciplines
then I remember the world I live in is a deeply flawed one

I think this is a sign you're going to forgo all chances at a real career to become a Mayan-themed supervillain.
Hahahahahaha
Are you taking courses on archaeology Dichotomy?
the economy's shot that potential career path to hell anyways
do you know what the rent is on a volcano lair these days

I would love to be taken to someone's lair.
And then I could take it over. My lair now.
Mine.
I prefer the classic submarine base
someone has never taken a course on the etiquette of super-crime
Nope. I just stole the certificate that they passed out at the end.
And I took the certificates of everyone else who was enrolled in the class.

i am quite happy with it
To be a villain you don't need science or wealth.
All you need is the will to dominate.

Bah! Bah I say to such claims. Your focusing on limits.
You're not focusing on proper word usage.
Some supervillain you are. How can you be expected to monologue like that?
yeah but he also had a crazy disability.
everyone knows crazy disabilities give you awesome powers.

And he also had a pretty cool/insulting nickname. Which presumably he adopts as his supervillain nom de plume.
bewilderingly easy
