SCHOOL IS STUPID

edited June 2011 in Social Entropy++
I'm at the point where I routinely think about dropping out of school on a daily basis.

I really wish I had pursued my dream of opening a bar on the beach somewhere in South America instead of working on a post-undergrad degree.

Anyway, summer break is here/almost here for most of us. I'm taking summer school. How about you?

    Holy shit, it turns out someone made a parody video on my neighborhood (like the "Detroit Tourism" video).

    Apparently I used to live pretty close to you because I know exactly what parody video you're talking about.

    And yes, everything in that video is true.

    I don't really know what AP tests are. They're like exams that count towards college credit or such, right?

    So I'm taking American History II and Intro to Politics this summer, both first summer term, which means they will be 5 week courses. I'm moderately concerned about this. Mostly because neither class is for the degree I'm working on right now, but for a secondary degree which will better aid me at pursuing a bachelor's in my primary program.

    Summer school is by far the worst of the schools.

    two of my current room-mates are going through a break up

    this is especially distracting since even though the guy is one of my best friends

    i totally want to bang his ex, also he is slightly obsessive/crazy

    never letting a couple join me in a lease again.

    Why don't they allow calculators on the GRE? This is going to blow. Numbers and I don't get along.

    Not 100% but I think they just don't allow outside calculators and they provide you with one.

    I've been hovering at 88% in one of my classes, and the final is worth 20% of my grade, so for that A, I need to get a 95% on that final :/

    Also I should head to class right now, final starts in a half hour.

    Well, I guess if I bomb the quantitative part, I can just retake it in August, then.

    I keep telling myself to calm down, it's multiple choice and high-school level, anyway. Really glad after all that I took those remedial math classes at community college that I wound up not needing for my degree. I have been sucking at the practice problems, though. D:

    you shouldn't stress it. the fact that there's no calculator just ends up meaning they don't write a test with a lot of or very complex calculations.

    AP tests . . . I wonder what mine were about. So long ago. *concentrates* I think . . . the history one . . . had a question about Lincoln.

    I took a midterm today. Not worried about it. It's weird reading about people taking finals.

    So apparently I pulled a C- in a class that I thought I was going to fail.

    Not even going to question how I pulled that off, out of fear that an extended analysis might cause it to plummet another few points.

    It's not the complex bits that are hard, it's the basic arithmetic I screw up. As long as I get close enough to the correct answer, though, I guess I can pick it out of the choices.

    At least I know I can kick the verbal section's ass.

    I somehow ended up with an A in my physical chemistry course despite constantly performing at the average all semester and feeling completely awful about my performance on the final

    I was going to go ask to see my final to find out what on earth I did right but I was afraid I'd go in and they'd realize their mistake

    "oh whoops you actually got a C"
