I told him he needs to go to the VA and get therapy. I thought I was pretty reasonable, he called me a pussy. Oh well.

If dude was spouting murderous crazy at school and refuses to get help then he probably needs to be locked up and forced to get help. That's not cool at all.

He was talking with someone who I think was like-minded but a little more of a "don't say this poo poo out loud" kinda person. Either that or they were just humoring him. I think having someone who looked like they agreed with him meant, to him, that he had permission to get loud and ultra racist? Next week should be interesting to see if he's there again, he's not in one of my classes, just across the hall. Who knows if the administration will actually do anything.

This is NOT a book you want to get behind in. It's overwhelming.

Also quickbooks online can suck my dick. Or maybe it's Firefox that can suck my dick. Either way trial balances can suck my dick.

I equate a long rear end trial balance as an assignment with writing a six page essay and the only feedback you get is "there's one word wrong in this" and you have to correct it before you can get credit for it. And then Quickbooks/Firefox unexpectedly logged me out of the website and I lost all my work that I had been doing for ~2 hours. I upended my books and walked off. I was pisssssssssed.

This is a pathways internship with a federal agency (usgs), so hopefully it will lead into a chill fed job. The interview went really really well, and I should know if I got it by EOD today! Also, it's that time of year when people start crying in the study room, that's how you know spring is almost here

Back in high school I worked in the public access TV station we had, and we videotaped a few WWII vets telling their stories. One dude came in and told me about the time they had a German bunker that couldn't be cracked. They didn't want to take the door and risk casualties and the Germans wouldn't give up despite being surrounded. So they poured a bunch of gas/diesel down the ventilation shaft and dropped a satchel charge in and that was that. Dude told the story like he was telling me what he ate for breakfast the previous day.

I'd heard of similar stories from the Pacific, where Japanese soldiers were so entrenched in caves/bunkers that our soldiers/marines couldn't dig them out. Instead of fighting it out, they would plug any ventilation holes they could find and call in the flamethrowers to light everything up they could see. If the smoke inhalation didn't kill everyone inside, the burning napalm drew enough oxygen out of the air to kill them outright or make them pass out (then die of smoke inhalation).

I love that place and it's going to be even cooler once they finish refurbishing what's left of the bomber plant and moving everything over. If you ever want to mess around with some planes give me a shout. They're always looking for more volunteers and most of the people rehabbing the aircraft have zero experience so someone with your skills would probably be pretty useful. I'm still close with the staff there so I can put you in touch if you're interested.

I'm currently calculating how bad I can fail this group project while still graduating Summa Cum Laude. Lowballing this, if I get As in the other courses like I've done so far I need to get an 80 on the final exam, and then my team only needs to score 14%, so an F minus minus minus or something. If I get a B in one of the other courses, then my group needs 54% so I can stay on a B in the course, so just a regular F. I feel like I could peace the gently caress out of the project at this point, and the project should still somehow end up being a D. Including the revenge-peer evals I'll inevitably face, I should still be fine. This is how far the retarded American college student has driven me. A sackless socialist that's trying to graduate in the top 5% while moonwalking back out of a group project.

Speaking of which: does anyone know the formula for figuring out what your GPA will be at the end of the semester if you have X credits and get X grade? Like, I'm finishing up my last semester, have 121 credits and currently taking 4 credits (3 credit class and 1 credit class), sitting at 3.66 and wondering what I'll have if I get an A, A-, etc

Deathy McDeath posted:Speaking of which: does anyone know the formula for figuring out what your GPA will be at the end of the semester if you have X credits and get X grade? It's not that hard to explain, you only need to calculate your projected semester gpa (A is 4, B is 3, C is 2, D is 1, multiply that with your credit hours per class), and then weight it proportional to your current graded credit hours, but thank god that there's calculators to do that for you these days. This one should work https://www.coastal.edu/registrar/cumgpacalc.html Best you can polish your GPA up is 3.67, worst you can gently caress it up while still passing with Cs is 3.61 Duzzy Funlop fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Mar 4, 2017 |

I got a verbal offer for employment after interviewong for an internship last week with the USGS. The interviewer said HR would send me paperwork at some point. It's been exactly a week now and I haven't heard from HR, should I email the interviewer or am I being crazy and should just wait a while longer?

Basically I need to finish my foreign language requirement with only two semesters remaining; my school has a summer language study abroad program in Berlin that should let me knock that out quickly. The certifying official just required a memo from my advisor saying I need it to graduate.

Finishing up a lab report that my partner had already typed up the bulk of, I noticed that most of it didn't make any sense and hardly anything he wrote resembled the lab we did. I typed a bunch of it into Google, and lo and behold, Google spat back out almost everything I fed it word for word, including the hosed up and unformatted equations with no relevance to the schematics we used. Now I'm loving pissed, because not only do I now have to write up the whole thing (for real this time) in the next three hours, but I also now suspect that this was the case for the last lab. I'm also betting that this is why I lost points on the lab before that when the prof. noted that our then-separate reports apparently did not match up (which confused the hell out of me because mine was poo poo hot). Motherfucker, if you want to do joint reports, you had better actually contribute something original to it, because I will not take a hit for your bullshit. I will throw you right the gently caress under that bus if your antics threaten my grade.

I'd email the professor with what he gave you, where you found it online and throw him the gently caress under the bus. He's obviously lazy or incompetent, which is kind of okay except that he's totally will to put the dick to you in the process. I have no doubt if they accused you for plagiarism he'd throw you under the bus quick as blink.
