So yea, haven't done this stuff in a while. I guess all it takes is a little free time and a friend doing the same to make you want to update something like this. But now that I'm here, what the hell will I write about. Just dunno.
Obviously the situation with the Hurricanes battering the fuck out of our country is something that needs to change, but theres nothing we can do at this point. It still boggles my mind how some people in those areas continue to look at themselves as invincible and decide that when a government official says "Get out" that the order simply doesn't apply to them. Its not that I don't feel bad for the people in these affected areas, I feel terrible about what they are having to go through...but if you hurt yourself, your property or whatever simply because of your stubborn outlook, well thats a different story. If you don't wanna die, or sit in sludge with no power now is your time to move, the chance has been given and you should take it.
Ok, that was my rant about that, lets forget that shit. Um, school is a fucking bitch...something I need to add. I've been in college for over 2 years already, and the entire college set-up has major flaws too it. Sure, we all love the fact that we don't have to go to class for 8 hours a day like high school, and we get freedoms here that are non-existant at home, but when it comes to grades and tests College can be quite a hassle. Unlike High School, your grades are almost solely based off of your test or project performance, with homework playing little to no role in whether you pass or fail. I can't speak for others that I know, but High School never prepared us for this. Homework was everything, tests were something, but you could still pull of a B easy if you fucked up a test or two. Here if you fuck up that first test, you're gonna have a hell of a time even pulling off a B- in the class, and you can almost completely forget about that A. But of course, this is not the only thing about college testing that pisses me off.
I guess its simply the setup, but teachers and classes decide that all tests and major due dates should be within 6 days of eachother. It happens twice a semester at least, and it nearly gives me an aneurism (sp?) everytime it comes around. I've pulled it all off so far, and hopefully I can continue on my good track, but god knows the situation would be easier for myself and countless others if classes decided to space this stuff out a little bit, give us a break...only once in a while does the situation come along in the real world were you have 4 crucial things to be turned in or perfected in such a short amount of time.
So yea, I guess that my major bitching is over. I dunno, I don't keep this journal to say stuff like this, but i guess its just the easiest stuff to write about, things you need to get off your chest and that are way to long to say to any college student who's watching TV or playing Halo. All I know is that the weekend is coming up, and a good amount of enjoyable weekends after that. AJK is coming in town in a couple of weeks, and I think I'm going to head out to Bloomington-Normal for my Fall Break weekend to spend some time with the Jeffy Jeff, maybe visit some other friends. Who knows...
Anywho, I think its time to peace and watch some TV before passing out in my big ass comfy bed and taking on the challenges of a new day tomorrow. |
