    Ahahaha, okay professor, how about you try and cancel class before I get up at 730 and drag my tired ass into school? Not fifteen minutes after it was supposed to start?

    Woe is me

    I've done next to no work for this one class, so now I have to do six labs and a project by the next exam.

    I also have a presentation to do for this class, but fuck it. It's only 10%.

    We're studying existentialism in my AP Lit class now

    apparently no one understands the concept that well...I mean..it's not a hard concept to understand yet no one seems to get it...

    so i have a lab report due tomorrow
    and a major part of the lab report (maybe a third of it?) involves a series of data that is supposed to be available online

    it's not

    it went down sometime this afternoon
    me and everyone i know in this class have all emailed the professor

    hoping it gets extended or something
    it's not academically fair to punish students who were planning to hand in their assignment on time but do the entirety of it the night before :P

    I don't want to do any research for this paper.

    I just want to write "Scalia is a douchebag" in 72 point font and turn that in instead.

    Personally I like the ideas behind it, and I feel a lot of it has to do more with having critical thought on subject matter and having an independent mindset when it comes to new information, and I can see a lot of basis in skepticism

    but no one in my class seems to understand this idea

    Eh... More nihilistic than existential.

    Oghulk, you need to read my boy Nietzsche.

  • OghulkOghulk Tinychat Janitor TinychatRegistered User regular
    I do. The only stuff I've gotten into with existentialism thus far is Kierkegaard (no primary sources but still).

    Kierkegaard also happens to be a boss, especially his writing on faith.

    did you know that sometimes variables act in a way that is dependent upon another variable

    that was..basically the point of this experiment...

    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...

    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.

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

    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)

    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

    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
