Ok, so the guy who keeps sitting next to me in my "Social Problems" class...has tourettes.

"social problems"

I think there was a miscommunication.

Anyway, I know it is prickish of me, but the guy is driving me insane.

i think i was top in my class of social problems

roxy dangerfield is yogurt frame 4 all thyme

Updates:

The guy who cooed "nice shirt" is in my Western Civ class and he never takes off his massive leather jacket.

Western Civ prof constantly reiterating that he is not gay after mentioning famous ancient Greeks who were likely/definitely gay/bisexual.

I got to walk into Social Problems class at the exact same time as Tourettes and STILL didn't avoid sitting right next to him.

I have to annotate Puddinhead Wilson by Thursday, and my guitar teacher is making me learn "Green Corn." These rank as the two worst assignments I have ever been in receipt of.

i got the best homework assignment ever tonight: read joint venture agreement and limited partnership agreement. come up with 1 question to ask about them next class. sweet!

it will get worse, i promise.

I am worried about this semester :(

So glad I didn't have a computer in school. Graduation would have been moved up to 2030.

We will get through it together.

I'm studying again :(

Starting CPA program.

But I'm starting with (seemingly) the easiest subject.

fuck walter jesus that shit SUCKS

have fun though

I just missed Western Civ on purpose. Just picked up one of my grant checks which is peanuts compared to what I thought it would be. U_U!

"What do you think of Western Civilization?"
"I think it would be a good idea!"
- Mahatma Gandhi

my guitar teacher is like "well you were better than i thought" and is now teaching me "landslide" L O L

Is Civ4 a subject as well? And Sim City?

I wish!

I am mortified that I said "shit" in my guitar lesson.

I have discovered PRIVATE PRACTICE ROOMZ, which have net in them!! I signed up for so much time.

Wait, are you at... !

dun-dun-DUNNN

what jon??

law homework tonight entailed reading case law about macauly culkin HAW

that is a TRUE haw

i had a spanish quiz today based on this commercial:

im glad the day we talked about meth in social problems is the same day i had to duck out of class to puke

lol bullemia

^^^

social probs test today had a question about the film "super size me".

today, the tiny "nice shirt" nerd inexplicably wore a way-outsized tux to class.

he definitely got everyone's attention

my guitar instructor is teaching me opeth lol!!

oh, i forgot to tell this: i was late to class the other day, and as soon as i walked in my western civ teacher (who is obsessed with issues of homosexuality in history {and always follows examples of this up with "i, myself, am not a homosexual" (uh)}) said "the greek army at this time was essentially 150 pairs of homosexual lovers. now, i myself, am not a homosexual, but..."

o_O!!!!

should I pass this guy some pamphlets or something???

this guy

what did he say after "but..."

...I do like sucking cocks"

something like "but this behavior was becoming extremely prevalent amongst these military guys!!!" or something like that

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y119/sincityradio/gaydar.jpg

definitely severe up in that classroom

"imminent"

nancingpony.com

Ok, this^ guy today accidentally wrote "satire" as "satyr" on the board, then quickly changed it.

!!!

guitar teacher calls opeth "opp-ith", it is cute

Today in a nutshell--

-Suddenly, everyone in Social Problems is BFF. Camaraderie prevails. Tourettes's Tourettes seems to have decreased in intensity. We are working on an AIDS project together. A quote from my prof -- "Of course I know what 'emo' is -- I am a Sociologist."

-Guitar: Tears of frustration. Break a string, and work on "Never Going Back Again" by Fleetwood Mac, which is a hellacious bitch. I will conquer her yet.

-Western Civ exam. Two separate questions (including an extra credit short essay) on the courtship rituals of Ancient Greek pederasts. A question about Alexander the Great included the option "D: Was a member of Megadeth in 1990." He wrote "for two crummy points" above the extra credit question.

-Start a fight in poetry over William Carlos Williams, then my prof inspires a host of o_Os by comparing Duchamp's "Nude Descending
A Staircase" to Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5's "The Message."

Prof encouraging me to go to Brazil for the summer to study Sociology. Not interested in pursuing the subject, but want to go to Brazil.

It says three new answers because I deleted two. I made a lot of mistakes. Twice.

I am going to email my poetry prof and apologize to her.

she sounds awesome.

i have a paper proposal + 8 sources due by midnight tomorrow. i think i am going to knock it out while i'm at work tomorrow. this is totally ethical, right?

also coolest thing about strategic marketing plan: planning entire hypothetical wet dream season full of awesome music for an orchestra!

tza, i do that all the time (schoolwork at work, that is)

what is your project?!

i am growing to love my western civ teacher in spite (because?) of his barely suppressed homosexuality/homophobia

which, the strategic marketing plan or the paper proposal?

i definitely wrote half of the latter @ work on wed :D

I did 95% of the work for my MS in my office. Since I was working 8-4 and classes were all at about 6 or 7pm I would just announce that I was no longer on the clock and fire up Word. Of course I was still on the clock because nobody else knew what they were doing half the time and always needed my help plus I sat next to the hotline ringer but I tried not to bill for those hours.

tonight: law homework while watching law & order! totally makes sense, right??? HAW!

i haven't figured out justification for the bourbon i'm sipping yet, other than because it's awesome.

how is law school? I go to law school soon.

haw

or are you just taking a law class in non-law school

it is not law school i am just taking one entertainment law class for my arts management masters, though like 2x a week i have this urge to go to law school but i can not do that because after this no more school for all time!

congrats on lawyer school, though!

this may be useful to you in your studies: be careful if you make typos a lot because if you mistype "negotiation" in a certain way word will auto-correct it to "negation" and then your argument will fail.

NULL and VOID

NEGATED

haw class.

I've run into this in my job. Also, "tortuous interference" and "complain tin which"

lollll

btw my case law book has so many errors! they referred to hole's first album as I'm Through This!

haha!

HAWS to THAT

inDEED

I see tons of typos in lawsuits, including frequent misspellings of defendants' names (sometimes two or three different spellings over the course of the complaint) and occasionally even plaintiffs' names, which would make me pretty 0_o if it were my lawyer.

especially since it was called pretty on the inside

xpost

srsly! considering what they bill, you'd think they could get names right!

egregious errors.

Mad suckaz be suing "J.C. Penny"

The other day I read an appellate opinion on a landlord tenant dispute that began "Landlord tenant disputes are far too common." And I laughed out loud. Why? Because when you read lawsuits and appellate opinions all day, your life is short on laughter.

i loled a when i read that, too!

for more fun
The thread where I post strange items I come across in my legal news reporting job

good thread

(non sarcastic)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v136/primrosehill/gotblue.jpg

what does it mean

i mean, i know what it means.

but "GOT BLUE"?

i skipped class yesterday u_u

it's a timely and culturally relevant got milk pun

i wish i had a digital camera so i could take pics of all the inane shit like that around my school

speak to the kids in their own language

Man, I woke up extra early to practice and study before class and then realized it's SPRING BREAK MUHHHFUCKAS

I visited a Criminal Law and an International Law class yesterday. It was sort of fun and scary at the same time.

SPRING BREAK MUHHHFUCKAS

Oh, flashing boobs then?

A bra that lights up!

?

damn i don't get no satisfactionspring break til the end of april!

that's a more reasonable time for it, i'd say. it's still kinda cold here.

yeah i guess it's more springy then, but it's also not that much longer before end of the semester!

i did NOT study for my poetry midterm

not one whit

i missed class on the last thursday before spring break and didn't realize it was today

hoping it was rescheduled to thursday as we WERE a day behind on syllabus

keep me in your (1)p(3)rayers yall

I just got my rejection letter from U. Chicago. It had typos in it! Including "Dear [my LAST name]"

roxy, feelin ur pain. i was up til 3:45 designing a brochure that looks like crap because i r not a graphic designer. many many spreadsheets due by sunday but i work all weekend. school is so not HAW right now!

Midterm WAS rescheduled for Thursday and a guy in the class said this to me today: "LOVE the retro thermos!!!" This is all that happened at school today.

Oh, and closeted Western Civ prof told me "WATCH THE ATTENDANCE."

roxy, feelin ur pain. i was up til 3:45 designing a brochure that looks like crap because i r not a graphic designer

Designing brochures was my favourite ever study projects! And I'm not a graphic designer. Maybe I should have studied that so I wouldn't have to face YET ANOTHER MEETING ABOUT THE DATABASE tomorrow at work.

here i am at school on a day i don't have to be at school

these bureaucrats need to hand me my check so i can vamoose

i heard you went to a school and learned everything in the school and they had to close the school

otm!!

(I feel like doing a Frogman Henry and only posting that image of Buck and Roy for the rest of my days)

western homoization is such a chewface

i'll show YOU excessive tardiness pal

mayeb if you tasught me something besides what ancient greek wangs were like i'd come to class more often

this thread kind of makes me want to go back to school

because of the wang?

boy in metal shirt in student affairs (haw) office EXTREMELY rude, then as i exited -- "niiiice shirt by the way"

i looked down and realized i was wearing minor threat again

I have less than two weeks left to say YES to LAW SCHOOL!

I said YES to LAW SCHOOL!

congrats, hurting! i, for one, feel good about your decision.

Thanx!

In 10 minutes, I will be giving a speech about abortion as a basic human right to a classful of conservatives. Wish me luck!

FINALS WEEK

i did all my reading for american lit, so i ain't worried (except glengarry glenn ross. maybe i can peep it after my civ exam, which i should be studying for now, but i just can't bring myself to)

All you need to know is "fuck you, that's my name".

i gotta last out through week of 5/19. halp!

damn tza

we're here to support you

We will stay strong through this insufferable hell
I decided to write a comic instead of a final paper in one of my classes and I feel perhaps this choice was overly ambitious. Twelve 8.5x11" pages vs a 4 page double spaced essay. I am having more FUN but it is due tomorrow & I am a little over 2/3 way through and kind of stressing.

Plus math plus electron properties. And I have to give a presentation on my semester-long 'service learning experiment' at (cries) 9 a.m.; tomorow. Fucking A at least I just fit in a shower and am now alotting myself a good 15 minutes "drying off" time.

Don't worry, Abbott. You'll be a housewife soon and won't have to worry about such nonsense.

i have a giant project due by midnight but am at work and have class til 930. yay. luckily my boss is out today so i'm doing minimal work work and inconspicuously trying to work on project.

i had to do a scene from glengarry glen ross during finals week my senior year and i only had like 3/4 of it memorized cause i was busy writing papers for other classes and shit.

but i had long hair and a beard all semester and showed up to class with a crew cut and a 'stache and everyone was so distracted they didn't realize how bad i was fucking up. also i was all loopy cause i hadn't slept in days so i felt and acted like a crazy salesman.

i have a portfolio due in a few days for my creative writing class and everything im writing is a piece of shit

give me suggestions

Lily was a big fan of getting the absolute shit fucked out her after a show...(NSFW, blimey)

ONE MORE DAY

ayo i graduated

YAY!

good f'you now get me a fukkin tastykake

max will u still let us know what movies are getting shot there?

HAY! August 18 I start Brooknam Law

is that being filmed at max's school

T/S: Confirming random people who want to be my facebook friend just because we're both in the Brooklyn Law entering class vs. Ignoring them and risk being thought a snob

So far I've confirmed two just to be nice but if this keeps up it's going to get annoying.

they like u :]

;]

man two more weeks and then i am done being back to school until i go back to school

going BACK TO SCHOOL in august, fortunately i'm not on facebook

I'll be "going back to school haw" myself in August. Good times.

are you going to cardozo haw?

http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/6636/kaospinkusagi04zv3.gif

hurting, my incoming grad class actually started a facebook group, but it may be a bit different because there are only 8 of us.

Yeah, Carbozo. Life feels stuck in an infinite loop and my path in writing leads to marketing rather than something more interesting (which seems to require one o thems fancy latte sipping Ivy League educated degrees). I feel good about the decision, but hopefully there's more "haw" than "baw".

That quote you repurposed keeps getting stuck in my head ("When you realize your life is worthless you go to law school" or something like that)

In a way I'm just getting preemptively disappointed.

I have a full-day admitted students event next week with a mock class. HAW

school never ends does it

Oh yeah, the base of that quote was from Edward Dahblerg's 'Reasons of the Heart' ... I don't think any of his books are in print.

The sad thing is, if law school is an escape from hopelessness, imagine the rude awakening when you get involved in the career that's famously hated by its own practitioners.

Of course, my own hopelessness involves being single for about 5 years, growing out every single one of my old friendships thus leaving me with none, having barely enough savings to live on for 3 months, and a horrific family I have absolutely no desire to live with again. Your own mileage my vary.

If I had some basic, developed personal life I'd probably stick with whatever shit I was doing before nothing. Though at least law gives you some opportunity to be involved in the world at large, even if that world is ultimately ruled by demagogues and corruption.

Mock class today.

Funny: Girl who insisted on volunteering to give the facts of the first case we read had no idea what the fuck she was talking about and cannot apparently read.

Equally Funny: Guy who insisted on volunteering to give the facts of the second case had done a thorough briefing as though he were already a law student and also insisted on raising his hand for every other question. Way to go at marking yourself for assholedom before the semester has even started and with nothing at stake.

is law school such serious business that you need to practice going to class before you actually start going to class?????

That's how they make it out to be.

I mean the mock class was part of a larger admitted students event. It's not like there's a mock class requirement.

h...hi?

is this going to really suck?

probably yes, but it will be worth it in the end.
congrats, bell!

MOTHERFUCK STUDENT HOUSING I'M TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT I'M DEALING WITH!

SURPRISE, WE'RE GIVING YOU AND YOUR WIFE A 400 SQUARE FOOT 1-BEDROOM APARTMENT! SURPRISE, YOU HAVE A TWO-HOUR MOVE IN WINDOW ON A SPECIFIC DAY AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO TELL YOU EXACTLY WHEN IT IS UNTIL TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE DAY! SURPRISE, MOVE-IN IS GOING TO BE 1-3 DAYS BEFORE CLASSES START!

yeah, but how cheaply do you get to live in bk heights for dealing with that?

eh, i'd live in a closet if i was getting free housing while i was going to school! the timing is shitty though.

yeah, free/super cheap student housing would kind of save my life right now.

hey guys let's all talk about how much debt we're gonna be in!
me: ~$35k wooo!

We'll be paying about what we pay now in Jersey City for about half the space. But yes, that's better than paying, say, 60% more than were paying now for half the space, which is the boat we'd be in otherwise.

If I don't live in student housing I get a small living stipend, but it's not enough to cover the difference.

aw i thought i remembered reading you had a free ride + housing.

god a living stipend. that would be dreamy.

the loan $ for my actual tuition will not be that hueg because i had free ride last year (in exchange for working at ehhh job) and next year i have a $1k scholarship, so total tuition cost to me is gonna be about $6500. but the loans for rent, books, food, etc. when living in nyc on no income definitely add up to a lot.

next year i will have a paying job, which will help, but i will probably still take out $ to supplement low salary.

no, it's full tuition plus *guaranteed student housing all three years* (meaning I still have to pay the [admittedly low for the neighborhood] rent but I don't have to deal with housing lottery) or a small living stipend.

Hardly something worth complaining about overall, but I just don't get why the school has to be such fucktards about move-in.

aw all y'alls schoolings are cheaper than mine. maybe i should wait a year, save and apply to different programs...but i kind of just want to get it over with now.

i think all schools are fucktards about move-in.

Every time I read JDunderground.com, I imagine this will be me after I graduate:

i want to go back 2 school haw now

tired of summer vaycayshun

The sad thing is, if law school is an escape from hopelessness

rong

HI CAITLIN!!!!

are you rising 3L now?

yeah hi

akshully i want to run away instead of going to school because it suxxxxx and i am afraid of going back, so boring and sometimes i am sitting in class and i for real want to puke, i forgot about that feeling :'''''''''''''(

http://tell.fll.purdue.edu/JapanProj/FLClipart/Medical/nausea1.gif

feelin u dude

it is terrible

1.5 weeks left... ughhhhh don't wanna finish!

http://bp2.blogger.com/_gMfDCcKP8X4/R66C-m3ka1I/AAAAAAAABFU/imHZnnnKhgo/s1600-h/sad+puppy.jpg

why do i always post pictures that won't show up? i can't do anything right.

first day was today haw

puuuuuuuke

One more year. 18th grade sux

19th grade here

i vacillate between omg i wanna be a lawyer and omgwtf am i doing this for it really sucks and has turned me into even more of a nutjob who can't tolerate other humans! awesome! social problems!

after graduation u can sue all those fukrs

lol i am always like 'damn why didn't i go to lawyer school instead of this artsy shit?'

things i am tired of in law school:

1. yr engagement ring
2. yr new house
3. "yeah the firm gave everyone an ipod" or whatever
4. douchebags
5. justice

6. eye strain

ok, minus #3 but replace with "i got all this swag in our gala gift bags" and also minus #5 replace with lots of loud talking and not listening to answers before jumping to next question and you have my grad experience.

i have already taken every class i need and now i am just trying to fill 88 credits with things i do not care about and are boring. i have an attitude problem.

and i can't write a sentence good

i have absolutely no interest in any of the classes i'm taking this fall but i feel like i should just finish so i can have the damn degree to go with the debt, right?

The one sentence so far that has given me the biggest omgwtf back in school jolt: "Yeah dude, there are actually a lot of good looking girls here."

yeah i am also tired of single bros being creepy. an astounding number of ladies get excused for like a month to have a baby, for some reason. they should not do that. it's law school not baby-having school gimme a break amirite

wtf that is not fair!

yeah and i feel like a bad person when i oops sleep through all my classes 2 days in a row (this happened but it was not an accident lol)

actually i'm not sure how their grades are when that happens, it seems like you would sacrifice a lot of studying. i will not ask any preggos this though.

i have been taking some community college classes. it is weird when people born in the 90s are your peers and not like little babies with poo poo in their diapers.

seems the middle of law school wouldnt be the most pleasantest time to be a preggos

I'm the oldest person in my immediate 20-person group/section, although supposedly around 10% of the school is my age or older.

monday!!!

im excited though

not for classes of course

i am well within the youngest 10% in my class but most people are like adult children

do i have to go back again today, i don't feel well

i am 2nd youngest out of an 8-person class; the oldest is 6 years my senior. i feel older than at least half of them, though. interestingly, not one person in my class came to grad school direct from undergrad.

i am so happy i am going to finance school and not lawyering school because i am 100% sure i am not smart enough for lawyering school

you would be surprised how many of these "smart" people are complete fucking morons

ja my dad seemed really unimpressed by the level of intelligence of 90% of his law school class.

like, to the point that he felt they should not be allowed to practice.

I feel like I'm just about to finish ascending the peak of exhilarating newness of school and get my first glance into the chasm of drudgery.

I'm about to be among the oldest of the 20-somethings there. I'm only 25, but it's like grandpa to the 21 and 22 year old recent graduates. It's weird going back to school after having both a career and disposable income.

dude im thinking about going to lol college at 23 so cry me a fucking river

day two of school that included a 3 hour class (with NO BREAK. and nobody even got up to go to the bathroom the whole time?!) where we went over 200 pages of a calculus textbook as review

i have not even thought about calculus for 10 years

i am so screwed

haha i hate when they do that. i had a 2.5 hour one last year and if you dared get up to go to the bathroom you got this death look. wtf, we are adults here!

it was really humiliating because i had a banana with me to snack on and halfway through the class a fruitfly started circling around me annoying me and the person sitting next to me. i wanted to get up and throw it out, but it would have caused a huge distruption and gotten me dirty looks!

burt stanton wtf, i think 25 is like the avg age to start law school. i was 21 but very few people were. a lot of people are 30.

it is better now, i didn't feel too pukey today and trial practice class = fun

I'm very pro banana, very anti fruit fly. My last apartment was infested with fruit flies because of my love for fresh fruit.

Anyway, yeah, most of my classmates are my age. A bunch of schools I visited it was like ... 21-22 year old city. Same with the school my friend's going to.

Tomorrow I have a class about Civilization: Pro Edition

today i have a mandatory happy hour, can you believe it

I had one on my first day -- it was at the most generic bar ever.

yeah i have a mandatory thing the day before school starts this year which is kind of annoying bc it means a trek to flatbush for no reason. i kind of don't want to see these people until the very last possible minute!

We have a three day overnight retreat over labor day. I am terrified. I think I have to share a room with one of these people!

I wonder if we are going to have to do like, trust falls.

oh god. do a mean girls recreation!

i dropped someone during a trust fall in rehab because i wasn't paying attention, she was shrieking on and on about not being able to trust and i switched off and she suddenly lurched right at me then thudded to the ground, everyone was helpful and concerned but i could tell that inside they were cheering.

you a badass!

it was an accident but she was such a histrionic horror show it made me lol.

i usually have a hard time concealing little giggles in situations like that. i think it is one of those 'omg i know this is inappropriate but i can't help it' responses.

i get a little shake in my voice.

i am starting BACK TO SCHOOL HAW on monday. i will be doing school full-time (three classes) and working full-time as well. but the LOL part is that i will be doing school from home and working from home so i will basically be spending every day in my apartment in front of the laptop for like 10+ hours, and that's not counting studying or writing or anything. i started working from home this past week just to get used to it and i think i am already going insane. i have been growing some pretty horrible experimental facial hair though.

a library carrel of one's own

^^the dream

wow i am really interested to see how this turns out! is there a liveblog in your future?
xpost

i have just been informed by one of my prof's assistants that i was left off the registration for the course. i just went and re-registered for it, but please note that this will be the THIRD time i have had to do so. ugh bureaucracy.

I am facing the beginning of a programming degree in my somewhat immediate future, but first I have to take HIGH SCHOOL math courses. Eep!

luckily for me accounting and budgeting (at least in the sense i use it) don't require too many math skillz. i do feel kind of unblanaced, though! nothing at all science related (unless you count vocal pedagogy) since sophomore year of high school!

accounting is nothing but the easiest and most basic of math. i had statisitics on saturday, which is harder than the accounting, but easier than the calculus, at least.

who needs liveblog when there is ilx

i really wish we'd done some stats work. i know it would have been harder but i don't mind if it gives me an edge.

i wish i'd taken all these classes in undergrad. but what can you do, i guess?

yeah. i guess i am just annoyed that i am taking the same class about 3 times during the course of this program, but there's "no time" for more important things.

also, why do i have hw before the first class :( :( :(

i remember all the asian girls in stern crying in the bathrooms over their stats exam, and being so happy that i wasn't a business major. jokes on me lol

srsly, i do not want to read a 53-page pdf. i sure as hell do not want to print that shit out, but reading 53 pages on a laptop is really annoying.

i feel so shitty/fluish today and i just remembered that our professor said that our class would most likely go over 3.5 hours. so til 9:30 instead of 9. eeeeeek. i just want to go home and crawl into a bed.

had 2 classes today. in my modern lit class i have to read 30+ robert frost poems by wed. my spanish teacher is a foxy 29 year old with the cutest accent. i think she is penelope cruz.

u guyz got it bad tho

post her website j0rdan i will hit on her via the internet

i wouldn't even do that to someone i hated

lolllllll

seriously though whats her email address

in my modern lit class i have to read 30+ robert frost poems by wed.

WTF? MU going down the tubes. 30 Robert Frost poems??? for modern lit???

its true. everything else is pretty standard. conrad, eliot, joyce, woolf, faulkner etc etc

i don't like to read but i do well in lit classes

yep--i read all of those in my modern lit class. but i think my prof from back then has passed away. we did read the second coming by yeats though.

30 frost poems sounds like a breeze compared to 4 battery cases.

it is pretty scary that you fail out of grad school if you go below a 3.0 gpa.

i don't know why i am just now realizing this.

that means they make it really hard to get below a 3.0, i'd imagine

i hope that's true.

ack have to go to flatbush for not class! was gonna skip this event but got guilting email from prof so now i feel obligated. ugh.

i think my int'l law textbook got stolen from broken locker :(

i am leaving for class now and i feel nauseous. :(

How is a pregnancy test done in your country?

i was really hoping this girl i hate would be 3 months prego by now but she wasn't. u_u

i am "in class" (online) right now. i had forgotten the joy of morons delaying class by asking dumb-ass questions. which is made worse by this online class system where the morons don't even have to raise their hands to ask dumb-ass questions but can just type them in willy nilly

the advantage of this system though is that i don't have to act like i'm paying attention while the professor deals with the stupid questions

only 32 more weeks

how r u

im actually skipping this semester but probably taking a couple of those godawful 6 week courses later in the fall

cause i gots a REAL job now nyukkas

jealousssssss

classes are still kind of annoying. professors need to figure how to keep that shit moving. yesterday's class notes were 17 powerpoint slides, and 1.5 hours into the 2 hours the prof had only got through 4 slides.

lots of reading. some short papers. not too bad but since i'm working from home i can usually sneak some school work into my work time.

i had orientation this weekend. it sucked. i am so nervous about my quant class and none of my classes are easy or very familiar and everyone else is engineers or econ majors or post-mba and knows more than me. i spend 3 hours a night studying and wake up 3 times a night having nightmares about equations. i have to pretend to be nice to investment bankers. why why why am i doing this

and the ambien has stopped working

chill out yr minds homie - youll hit yr stride in no time :)

sorry kind of freaking out
if i fail out of this it will be more expensive than my normal failures

i haven't slept like all week. you can give me your ambien!
xpost

ms. labs i think it will be better when you start learning things because every year i go completely nuts before school starts, going ugh remember how hard it was last year i don't want to do that anymore, and i hate those people, etc., and it ends up being fine! it still kinda does suck. but it'll be over!

that's sweet harbl

Thanking u harbl
My bond markets class tonight was ok. The instructor is some bigshot who keeps mentioning his many tv appearances and has written 5 books but he basically has no lesson plan and just kind of does of stream of consciousness macro econ thing. This will be my only easy class I think. Some of my classmates are nice but everyone keeps giving out awkward hi-fives which I don't understand at all (frat boy thing?)

woah that is weird!!!

my theater design and planning class was tonight. i very much like the instructors, but being in a very small room with 8 drafting tables and 12 people talking nonstop got a little overwhelming. at least we had fun time where we listened to music while drawing stuff for the last 30 min or so.

that sounds like project runway i want in

haha project runway workroom is way bigger :(

next week we're back in classroom blahhhh. i have to admit the class is kind of fun just not especially useful to me and i'd rather use the time and debt$$$$ to take something i will make more use of in my career. seeing as that's why i went to grad school and all...

Yeah that sounds awesome tza.

I personally received 2 high fives today and I think I flinched or made a weird face both times.

it is more fun than other classes for sure. i was just staring at this rectangle trying to come up with some sort of proscenium inspiration and it was NOT happening.

i do NOT get this high five stuff.

i would relish a high five

my cpu crashed so ive been spending like 5 hours on campus every day just vegetating in front of the computer basically just posting to this website

I think the high fives are some kind of aspie fratboy hybrid manouver.

Ewps I just realized I have 380 pages to read by tomorrow 8:30 am

i don't get it. what prompts the high 5?

still hating people who have babies while in law school. one of my grades has been delayed because this idiot-head couldn't wait to have a baby until after exams (or after you graduate? duh we have reproductive technologies available in 2009) and HAS NOT TAKEN THE EXAM YET fuck

normally i wouldn't care but i feel like i did well in this class!

aw. class starts to night. BAH.

lol @ "reproductive technologies"

still hating people who have babies while in law school

i need another credit to graduate so i am taking a one credit spring break class on the law of gays and i don't really want to

i just read a lot of cases about sodomy and one statute began "Every person who shall carnally know in any manner any animal or bird...." how do u carnally know a bird? maybe i ask tomorrow

Ostrich maybe

emu perhaps

dodo arguendo

i am in gaylaw class lol

hay! We also did gaylaw in Con Law today (Lawrence v. Texas, etc.).

gayhaw

yeah haw this is the fifth class in which i have had to read that case :-\

I find a lot of the most interesting cases subject-wise are actually really uninteresting legally.

i dunno i don't actually think sodomy is automatically interesting but yeah i can't think of one case in regular con law that isn't pretty boring and annoying. like it's all fake and drives me nuts. criminal law and crim pro (4th amendment stuff, not the adjudication things) have all the interesting cases.

thinkin baout goin back to school haw in 2 years

phdarbl?

nah like harbl bs, jd, mph
maybe i'll start phd when i'm 30 or something though :((((((

like a drifter i was born to walk alone, and go to school all the time

Harbl ^ that would be so cool. JD/MPH is a really great degree combo to have.

i need to marry someone who can pay off my loans though lol

my sister is thinking about that as well, how do i convince her to pull the trigger on health school???

what's holding her back???

real life?

she is unclear about what kind of work she could do. she's a v specialized sorta lawyer (pharm patent stuff for the ~bad guys, imo, but i <3 her), and is dissatisfied and sorta hates her job. i keep telling her that there's gotta be something she could do with her experience and an MPH but i actually can't think of specifics

it's actually sort of amazing that i'm in medical school and that she's a lawyer---it is sort of the opposite result anyone that knew us would have predicted

you should tell her life is too short to work for bad guys

bad guys help pay the loans

no i have a plan

pretty sure the bad guys could see her debt paid off pretty fucking ASAP, iirc

i mean what else are you gonna do with a 70k signing bonus (hint: buy me an ipod, thx!)

dear sis

i would like an ipod. anytime within the next two weeks is cool.

your bro,

gbx

she orders me a pizza every time i have exams, tho, so i am happy with that

i wish someone would order me a pizza

awwwwwwwww

at some point i am going to have to go back to school, i think :/

plant science class is soooo long

STAY PUMPED

adderall iirc.

i miss science class

i miss peepoop patel.

me too

man alive i'm missing out doing my new uni studies all externally

BUT: one of my subjects this year is wine appreciation

i found an adderall cleaning out our van after tour

Just thinkin today that I miss the shit out of school

u said it. part i miss most is sitting on busses and reading en route to class.

i was gonna say i miss not having to worry about work but that's not true because i worked all through college and grad school.

The old saw about people who are really happy and popular and successful in High School then being disappointed by everything else in comparison; that is v. much how I feel about lolcollege. Don't think going back would help, though.

its cool to really feel a part of a particular college. when i was doing writing and music, those particular colleges/departments were so lolhueg that i never really felt like a part of anything. now that i'm in agriculture science/natural resources -- the smallest college in the university -- it's the opposite. you kinda get to know everybody real quick.

i went from small -> large

it doesn't bother me that much

skool is going well 4 me -- i'm going to class

whats its all about iirc

I really love the agriculture campus's library. It's kinda busted and worn around the seams and there are signs everywhere saying "NO DOGS - NO TOBACCO" -- love that this must be posted, lol hippies.

My instructor in Geology of National Parks is 80 years old and the other day he screamed "WEE KO PEDIA!!!!!"

Nothing else to report.

haw i had an 80 year old prof who would go "i found out just how you all find out...i *GOOGLED* it"

leaning forward for a second while he said "googled"

lol so today in my public policy class, a group of cher horowitz type girls gave a presentation on immigration policy (uh oh) and then, as part of the requirements, made a policy recommendation about immigration (uuhhh ohhh) which was then to be discussed by the class (uhhhh ooooohhhhhhh) and basically these girls were all "english only! fence building! learn to speak english!" which led to total chaos in the class and a record count (ime) of challops, red herrings, strawmen, butthurt and shouting -- it was so lol & great, would attend class again

also a record number of personal anecdotes that led to people having to preface response by saying "and i don't mean to demean your experience, but!"

that comparison is unfair to cher horowitz, she cared abt ppl iirc

yeah i know!! i was just trying not to use 'sorority girls' -- i really should've just said 'airheads'

'dumb broads' is a p reliable standby iidssm

until I googled 'cher horowitz' (haven't seen that movie for a while...) I just figured you meant 'jewish'

lol no -- i meant sahrahrity

I always go all out in class debates like that, mostly cause you got nothing to lose and 'participation points' to gain

we had a similar situation recently in professional speaking - the dumbest class OOT, obv

i read a book during the gun control panel. it was insufferable

ppl always have opinions about shit, would be better off just not

would be better off not having to listen to stupid ones over and over, thats for sure

thank god

this class is 3 hours long

halp

im taking this musicology elective and there is a girl in the class who goes by "liza music"

it is the second day of school this semester and i woke up late and missed botany - it is the first day of botany

i also forgot my yoga mat but i did remember to wear yoga clothes

what a dumb day

I start classes Monday.

i have a test about fish

:)

i have to identify all the fish

is this harder or easier than identifying all the trees?

http://img-ipad.lisisoft.com/img/2/4/2486-2-one-fish-two-fish-red-fish.jpg

two fish look kinda smug

its pretty similar in difficulty

i care a lot more about identifying the trees, though, so that made it a little easier

the fact that fish have faces (and personalities??) does help somehow

please post some research papers on fish personalities

l@@k c@@l learn all the serengheti animals http://www.snapshotserengeti.org/

a skipjack herring for example "jumps out of the water and acts crazy", that is a direct quote from my prof. thats as far as id really take the personality thing. trees honestly have more personality tbrrwu

most of this was like, differentiating between 20 different kinds of salmon based on dorsal fin shape

tyvm4brrwm

always

which is the most delicious of the 20 salmon?
