Razorwired posted:A bunch of dorks eat up 3 or 4 tables with Pathfinder books, Magic decks and laptops every time I go into grab lunch in the cafeteria. Earliest I've been in to eat is 11:00 and latest is 1:30 and they're always there. They're never eating or studying. As someone that runs a D&D table and is in a few groups as a player, loving nerds ruin college. Oh man this is a thing? I saw some guys do something similar to this. They brought in a loving 30" TELEVISION and a playstation, while they played Marvel vs. Capcom and some anime game while they took up like three tables. They also were blaring anime and MLP on their laptops while shouting some dumbfuck memes. Plenty of fedoras. Enough to make me double take and possibly think this was some sort of surrealist art exhibit. I mean, video games are cool and poo poo guys, but can you like play it at home or something? I mean, why the cafeteria? It seems like it would be a lot of wasted effort to haul a loving television into a cafeteria, only to have everyone stare at you for being socially dense.

Kavak posted:Proximity to food? That begs the question of why they don't just order a pizza or something in private. Is space at a premium at your university? I can't even imagine someone doing something so obnoxious here- you'd get hurled out by the staff. I know right? I thought that at first too but they were eating PB&J's they brought from home. Like literally making sandwiches right there. The staff don't give a gently caress because it's a CC and probably hate being there. Space is indeed a premium, especially at lunch hours, so they were just being socially awkward dicks. Whatever, I'm transferring to a CSU soon anyways; so maybe I might have more content for this thread.  Also

Oh man, on the topic of hand raising, it reminded me of something that always pisses me off. You know that guy who always has something to prove? You know, where has to constantly raise his hand and input his knowledge on the subject? And it's not just answering a question and adding a two second anecdote. It's up to the point where the professor is there waiting for him to shut the gently caress up so he can continue teaching. It's not them wanting to run their mouth off, it's them wanting to peacock. I'm paying for the professor to teach me, dickhole. Not you, Mr. Wikipedia. Glasgow Kiss has a new favorite as of 00:42 on Oct 20, 2013 |

Oh boy, where do we start. The school is having us perform these Individualized Academic Reports, right? Because we're converting to semesters from a quarter systems and they wanna know when to kick us out. Now, considering most of the classes I'm taking are series based, converting from a quarter system to a semester system can be tricky. So, I went to the workshop, filled it out, and submitted it to the best of my ability, because frankly, I'm sure the school's going to be dumb and offer a vital course like once a year or something. Now, they gotta approve the loving thing, so what the people at the workshop said is that "as long as it's submitted, the school would email me if they approve it or not". Cool. It's been four loving weeks and the quarter is almost over. Now, if they don't approve it (or maybe if I didn't submit it, I dunno) by April 15th, they'll put holds on registering for fall. Cool, let's keep people from graduating on time for a once optional thing that was designed to make you graduate on time. Great. I'm pissed at myself, because I think an advisor could approve it for you, but I was being an idiot, assuming the school would process it and get back to me. So, whatever, I'm angry at myself and the school. Meh, I deserve this. Also, we gotta retake a Calc II midterm cause everyone did garbage on it (I got the highest score, a measly 70/100, average was 35/100). Prof says if we do worse on it, he'll use the shittier score. I understand where he's coming from, but gently caress man, this weekend was the worst possible time for me to study for this, because I have a gajillion projects/finals to study for right now. He's a nice guy, but poo poo pisses me off because people asked for this! He was willing to put more weight on the final, but NOOOO! Let's retake a test that'll he'll make harder and so it guarantees we'll all loving fail. We also have a project due for this same class on tuesday, so it's been a juggling act this whole weekend. Whatever, I need to air this poo poo out. I probably sound whiny as gently caress, I know, cause the poo poo going is stressful but school problems ain't nothing to real world crap. At least I got my health and roof under my head.  I am getting super hosed up after finals.

Spinning Robo posted:Hot drat with an average that low I'm not sure if you can put the blame squarely on the students Thing is, his other class did pretty well on it, so it's kinda of an awkward situation all around. Guy is a good prof. (for the most part), took for him for Calc I and didn't really have a problem. Average would normally be around 65-70 in that last class and the first midterm. So yeah, pretty strange situation to be in.

Is depression and anxiety a worthwhile minor? So yeah, everything is kinda whatever. Doing great in lectures and most things. Chem lab is brutal though. The TA decided to bring down the hammer of loving god and is becoming ruthless in grading. Last few lab report grades have been poo poo. I've been writing them the same. First reports got decent grades, so yeah he's being more strict now. At least I kick rear end on the weekly quizzes. Ugh. I don't wanna be a fish monger. Edit: ^Do you like pain?

Me too, me too. This poo poo sucks. I wanna get my degree and live under a bridge. At least I don't have debt. Random Stranger posted:On Friday I had a midterm to take in fifty minutes. I knew the material pretty well so I was confident going in. At the bottom of page two I looked at the clock and there was half an hour left. At that point I had to go, "Okay, this test is going to be a classwide disaster. That means a heavy curve and that means I need to go for raw points." And that kicked off a half hour blitz of high value questions I felt I could do quickly, abandoning questions when I knew I had made an error because losing a few points there was better than no points elsewhere, and scribbling faster than my brain could work. I doubt I'm going to get more than 60% on the exam graded straight, but I'm hoping that the midterm massacre is going lead to a curve that gives me a mid range B. Same day, same time. Same everything. Organic chemistry. gently caress everything.

Luckily, all I will have to write are motivation essays that may run afoul of self-plagiarism rules which fortunately I highly doubt applies in this circumstance Good luck! I often find getting blitzed while writing stuff like that helps removes the monotony of it. Proofreading while sober is a must though. Can't for these papers though, too many technical details. Oh I wish it was something easy like a history paper or something that has more leeway.

Good news is that it was a miscommunication and that our final is today. Bad news is that my medical microbiology final sucked and I felt like I guessed. Oh well. And I heard the lab final today is brutal and full of IR/NMR poo poo, which while cool in theory, suck as test problems. And I got the orgo final tomorrow that I barely studied for because of that micro class and trying to finish up some other assignments, on top of trying to stay on top of my research.

I never had much problems with books, most editions tend to have a PDF floating somewhere. It's mostly the online HW bullshit that burns my wallet. I hate those things, they're wastes of time and generally do not help on exams. Profs. generally fixate on lecture problems or textbook work.
