Toony... I have a confession to make.

I HATE THE SUN

Toony... I have a confession to make.

I HATE THE SUN

We could have a daughter.

[Acanthus117]

I don't think I could have a daughter.

I'd wean her on M-rated games and instant noodles.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Don't worry.  I'll join that class with the name Ozone and totally rock your atmosphere.

Argh, Toony, did you have to say that?!

Bad puns...

they burn

That Ozone is just on fire.

Hah. Facemelt.


I feel like playing borderlands.

I feel like playing borderlands.

[Acanthus117]

He's too busy watching my face melt, again and again and again and again...

Was stood up today.

I'm supposed to be writing a brief forum post on an 8-page excerpt of Marx's German Ideology.

I have been typing for 4 hours.  Straight.

Why do I do this to myself.

[Retro]

Three hours until the midterm I'm destined to fail thanks to a teacher who refuses to give anyone in the class remotely good marks. I feel prepared relative to a test in any other course, but that doesn't give me any more confidence :\

Probably leave an hour early and hop by the coffeehouse for some more relaxed final review. I'm been studying my ass off, and with the high levels of panic and pressure I've been feeling, it's not likely things stuck as well as they should have.

Pardon my naiveté, but can't you and the class band together and ask her? Teaching is what they are supposed to do, after all. Or does she just plain out refuse to speak with you about it/explain further?

It's a lot more of the latter. She doesn't refuse to speak to us about it or anything, but where we differ is that I think the most important part of testing students on their grasping of concepts is if they can prove they understand it and its implications, while she seems to feel that if the student has memorized the exact phrasing of a concept, whether or not they understand it, that's a much better indicator of how good they are with the material. Feels like a really old-school approach to me, and it's not like she's unwilling to help us study or anything, but... she has the most specific criteria for getting points that it's impossible to hit them at all. I guess the reason I do fine on the essays is because that's where she's looking for understanding of concepts, while she treats tests like a judge of how good one is at exact memorization and regurgitation.

I had a college class like that. It was bad enough that I had to take it in the first place (mandatory elective, the course was listed as "discusses the ramifications  modern technology in the dynamic modern workplace" but was really "black people are your friends. You should not fear them because they are black. Japanese people are your friends. You should not fear them because they are Japanese.") The teacher was so clearly phoning it in that he refused to allow any discussions on the few good points that did somehow manage to get raised, and then I failed the final exam because I made the mistake of answering it with the correct answer.

I suddenly feel like re-creating the forum story I had going a while back. That pulled a fair few hours into it, and I've been feeling a little uninspired lately. Really, I feel dumb. For the past few months I have felt dumb.

[Jopax]

My throat hurts and i have been lightheaded and unable to focus for most of the day, and i have a math test in two days, it will have more letters than numbers in it, and i really hate that

[Lord Shonus]

I find my distaste for pants growing by the day, but, as luck would have it, clothes are the one thing that my family would be intolerant about, and my work wouldn't allow skirts even if I was a girl, so I'm stuck in uncomfortable, unappealing clothes for hte majority of my time.
