AKA, write like Charles Dickens.

Modify: But, dear reader, what truly IS an essay? Is it any combination of letters compiled, to discuss a subject? Or is it only one if it follows the standard structure of an essay. Indeed, the term essay comes from the Latin Essaus, which means, "to blather on to pad out your word-count and increase financial gain", so in truth, does an essay even require a point?

I can (and probably will) do some BSing to pad and get away with it, but that level would get me in trouble.

The subject under observation by scientists in a controlled environment showed that the subject, when under observation by scientists in a controlled environment- displayed aggressive tendencies and refused to mate. The scientists which were observing the subject in a controlled environment, hypothesized that the subject, currently under observation by scientists in a controlled environment, would not breed under captivity- which is to say, when being observed by scientists in a controlled environment.

It's poetry analysis.

Alright, that's all the time I can spare to peek at the forums for now.

Biochemistry. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaate. So hard. Also required. So hard.

E: Actually, what is probably happening is that I'm having the down phase of lolrandom cyclothymia, seeing as I've been oddly hyper yesterday. Fuck you too, brain.

Cannot stop thinking about how I'm probably going to fail the precal final tomorrow. And I'll probably fail the course. And I'll probably have to take the course again and lose more time and money. And I'm a failure. And everything in my life is just not working out and I'm still not happy. And I just don't want to bother anymore.

This sucks. Way to spiral into utter hopelessness from one stupid test, brain.

I'm pretty worried about my French class at this point. I've missed it far too many times, whether due to illness, a bike accident, or just sleeping through it due to staying up too late, and this morning I had to miss it again because I sorely needed the time for another class's project (which I really should have not let happen). Additionally, I've got the same prof for French next quarter, (if I don't fail the class and become ineligible for the next segment, that is).

I also want to apologize to her, but I don't want it to seem like I'm grovelling for credit.

[Bauglir]

If that's the case, you should send the email now, before the exam, make no mention of grades, and avoid bringing up reasons for your absences, but do mention that you regret the information and experience you were forced to miss out on. Make it a genuine apology, basically, rather than something that reads like an excuse.

[WillowLuman]

This morning, knowing I'd be missing class, I emailed her that I was using the time to finish my final project for another class. I'd intended it to show I was acknowledging my mismanagement of time but I think it came across as an excuse, and possibly a rude one. It's in this context that I want to apologize, not just for today but for all the times I've missed class this quarter.

Looking back at what I've done programming-wise, nothing is even started because I'm too thick to understand any of the programming languages I've ever picked up (except VBasic, which is essentially worthless, from what I've been told.)

*sigh* Maybe I'll pick up Python one of these days.

[Orange Wizard]

Programming is one of those things that some people get and some people don't. Don't stress yourself if you can't get your head around it - it's hardly an essential life skill.

It's a wonder this shit still happens in such an advanced world

Had an 'aqauntence' who killed themselves a couple years ago for being bullied (didn't know she was being bullied, only had once class with her and it was filled with her friends so she always seemed happy)
That was the same year my school went through (3-4?) suicides and one kid getting murdered prior to the start of the school year and another killing themselves just before school started......... Ya that year sucked

Kid who got murdered was my sisters friend

He tried to stop his mom and her boyfriend from fighting and the boyfriend hit him in the chest hard enough for him to stop breathing and die

Was a very very tragic year
