Edumacation

edited October 2007 in Social Entropy++
I am sitting here, at the University Library, staring at the computer screen.

I have just down two bottles of over-priced Coca-Cola, and I don't intend to leave until I've finished a large portion of my history essay on the failure of the British Army in America 1775-1783.

This may well be a long day, full of stress and constant peeing.

What edumacational things are you doing, fellow SE++ers? What essays, dissertations or assignments are you struggling to do?

Alternatively: Libraries - why are the employees only old, crotchety people over the age of fifty?

    I am in the computer lab of my university as I type this.

    I just finished the final exam for an Interpersonal Communications course. This is the course that will determine whether or not I get a 4.0 this semester.

    The good news is that now I have a week off before next the next semester starts.

    i was at uni writing an essay on a book by haruki murakami until 1am last night
    it was hard because i am en engineer and i dont know how to write a fucking essay or give a crap about analysing a story

    and then in the lecture there was a discussion on the books and people were talking and i thought 'crap i missed all of these points and talked about completely different shit' so maybe he will just think it is a unique approach to the novel and i will get good marks for it

    my unique approach being to completely ignore the actual story

    really i dont feel different from drinking energy drinks

    and it's ludicrous

    the name "energy drink"

    because any drinks gives you energy
    even water
    with it's non additive formula
    plus the body can't break down and utilize carbonated beverages as fast as say
    gatorade
    the whole notion of energy drinks as they are marketed today is a lie

    yeah, but it's all good. i've accepted the fact that each professor believes that they are the only one assigning a project, and that bitching about it to them is futile.
    plus they like you more and boost your grade when you aren't giving them shit for assigning actual work.

    Not a scholarship, no. I'm paying to be here taking classes. Red Bull is just a side thing, kind of like an internship. Basically I find a time where I can get 100-200 people on campus to come to a party I organize. Then I get my people to bring the RB event Mini Coopers as well as a bar counter, a DJ booth, and a bunch of RB tables (those tall skinny can tables). Then we get liquor and mix it with the Red Bull and have a dance party on campus.

    I found out the other week I have access to a boat for a boat party if I get enough people.

    I also take photos at other parties.

    Ohhhh, one of my friends in the first year did that over here. She got cases and cases of the stuff, and had to target a specific demographic each week. She had to drive around in a Beetle with a RB Can on top of it though, which looked kinda dumb.

    That must be awkward. Being the object of desire in a place full of self loathing individuals and ideals. Not that they want to be with you, they want to not be them, there. But being with you is the closest they can be to that.
