Finals week. It's bumming me out. I'm finding it very hard to care anymore. It's like winter quarter during fall. I have to d-r-a-g myself.

no, they really don't. And that sucks! I got a baby Hobart about two years ago and love it. Still hate my hand held POS though.

Puh. You're welcome for your little piece of history. Hmmph.

My college was in a tiny little town where all the NFL footballs are made. I toured the place. So there.

What else you need to know that's useless and boring?

A short essay on Baron von Steuben, due tomorrow. Though it was assigned to my daughter three weeks ago, my wife and I only learned about it (almost by accident) on Monday. She had actually forgotten who the subject was (the teacher gave them each a different person) and had to ask again.

You're a hermit, how in hell did you catch a cold?

I only have two final exams to go - history and poetry.

History - well, it shouldn't be that hard, it's recent stuff 1945-present, so you'd think that if I paid attention on the news for the last 20 years I might already know half of it. I'm still studying my ass off though because I want an A, dammit!

Poetry is mostly just about MLA formatting, no explication or anything. Oh, and I still have to finish revising my paper. Not a big deal.

Good luck Bri and Dana!

I had to drop my Calculus class today because I got a 34 out of 100 on my midterm.

Holy shit, I got a 34 out of 100.

I'm going to go sob some more.

DanaC · 11-14-2008, 06:10 AM

Shit, Apollo, that musthave been a nasty surprise

Apollo · 11-14-2008, 06:21 AM

Oh my gosh it was horrible. Just got home from work, ready to relax, watch some Lost, flip open the Mac, check the grades, and then I get slapped in the face by the number 34.

It's my least favorite number now.

Undertoad · 11-14-2008, 08:11 AM

J's daughter sent me this code

You know what cured me of caring about the grades I got? Yeah, my illness (/montypython/ I got better! /montypython/) Seriously, dude or dudette: It's not about the grade, it's about the process of learning. So what, you got a 34? Try again, fail again, fail better!
