he's a microsoft certified trainer for the IT program at my community college, lol, and IDK if they're harder or easier to get fired. I understand they don't give a gently caress but I don't know why I couldn't argue that I got a 100% and the program changed my answers. I really don't like the guy and he is a lazy piece of poo poo so anything I can do to make his life difficult is a win/win for me. Thing is if I stick with the program I have him another year and a half but I don't care anymore.

I just wish people did give a gently caress about anything

edit: oh and he called me out for looking at my phone while he was making us watch powerpoitn slides as presented by a narrated youtube video stating that they "violate the integrity of his class room" so it's like extra good that I can turn that on him and I'm being a petty bitch about it

edit: NO we have not done evaluations on him as of yet.

gently caress that. Bring it up to the dean or whatever. Also I will probably lose my poo poo if a teacher gets petty with me. I had one (the whole 'no guns!' Thing) but that was more of a weirded out moment.

I'll probably let it go if he just acknowledges my concern. I tend to get irrationally indignant about poo poo like this and need to work on not completely nuking every bridge I come across :shobon:

I really just need to go rage against the machine somewhere and I wish I had gone to Standing Rock or something to get it out of my system. I need to find a real cause because right now my life is without purpose and it's annoying and I think doing drugs with weird fat hippy chicks and getting beat up by riot police would set me straight.

I get irrationally indignant too. My dad calls it a "righteous justice" cause if I feel like I have been wronged or someone I care about has, I don't quit.

People that have morals or a conscious tend to get it too. So, like maybe you and me but probably no one else. Maybe Mustang because he is a youngin'. Definitely not McNally after what he went through. He could get into animal sacrifice and I wouldn't bat an eye.

If animal sacrifice could have gotten me a few extra points on my econ final for all As this semester, I'd have gladly started tossing kittens into a furnace or whatever.

Am I correct in my assumption, you fish-faced enemy of the people?
Thank God for a "cumulative" final that was like 85-90% material from the last section we covered. That plus a more than passing familiarity and slightly unhealthy fascination with biowarfare agents made my Microbiology final a little less godawful.

I'm just trying to compare how much writing I have to do now vs years ago. My final yesterday had a 6000 word limit for the four hour exam. I ended up writing 3100 and calling it a day. Then I fondly remember when I had a week or two to write 500 words.

I have to write like 200 words in Italian in a night but that's about it.

My other papers were anywhere from 750-2000

Usually 400-4000 for me (geoscience major)

The 400 are usually opinion pieces that we discuss in class, the 4k papers are research papers or other final paper type deals

Well, add to the myriad of reasons why you should never go to law school. the good news is I can poo poo out pages and pages of poo poo on a lot of topics. The bad news is its all law poo poo that no one will ever give a gently caress about.

I just write code. :shrug:

The one course I've taken recently that involved a significant amount writing was an engineering design one. Those papers wound up being around twenty to thirty pages, but mainly because they contained a lot of diagrams and whitespace, so maybe ~3000 words?

YOU ARE ABOUT TO WRITE THE UNDERGRADUATE HIGHER EDUCATION ESSAY, AN ESSAY THAT WILL MEASURE YOUR BEHAVIORAL ENDURANCE AND CAPACITY FOR BULLSHIT AND MLA FORMATTING. THE RESULTS OF THIS ESSAY WILL GIVE YOU AND YOUR PROFESSORS AN INDICATION OF YOUR SYCOPHANCY AND WILL ACT AS A GUIDE IN DETERMINING THE MONETARY VALUE, ACCORDING TO THE MAN, FOR YOUR WHITE COLLAR SLAVE LABOR. LISTEN CLOSELY TO THE TEST INSTRUCTIONS, AND DO THE BEST YOU CAN ON EACH OF FIVE PARAGRAPHS IN THE ESSAY PROMPT BELOW. WORD COUNT IS A DIRECT INDICATOR OF HEART.

WHAT ARE YOUR QUESTIONS ON THIS EVENT? IF YOU ASK ANY QUESTIONS, YOU ARE PREEMPTIVELY CONSIDERED A FAILURE.

Yeah going forward most of my courses should be more coding heavy with research papers being written more in the IEEE format.

Speaking of coding, my data structures final is Thursday. This class has been brutal while working full time, and the cumulative final has me trying to memorize run times for so god drat many things. I will be extremely happy when this 'weed out' class is over with in two days.

Data structures is a pretty brutal course in general. I had to take it again as a pre-req for grad school because I was an idiot who didn't study enough in undergrad and got a C.

Data structures really is the definition of a weed-out course, but has a ton of important concepts that you will need to draw upon later. I loving sucked at it and will probably re-take it at some point because I remember hardly anything from it.

My final project was literally a video of Skate 3. Like me playing the game, editing it, moving the camera and doing tricks before moving to actually editing it in premiere. And I go to a nice college.

Oh and I got a good grade too.

At beginning of one class that I took over the summer, which was on comedic theater, the professor announced that as long as we attended five weekly broadway shows and handed in our final 5-page paper on top, we would get an A.
Most enjoyable class ever. On Mondays we just talked about funny movies and stuff, and then on Wednesdays we would go see a Broadway production with tickets paid for by the school. I wrote my paper on how Tina Fey desperately needs to come back to SNL because it hasn't been that great. It was written almost entirely in block quotes.

Class owned.

I just meant that in retrospect, compared to medical school, the undergrad workload was hilariously light. I miss not being stressed/terrified 24/7. I've lost like 15 pounds this semester.

Try reversing those statements:

"Q: Why does everyone dress like they are gonna go work out but don't?"

"A: I'm glad I had sunglasses because holy poo poo yoga pants."

Girls wear yoga pants because it's low effort and comfortable, but they know they still look hot. That's not hard to understand.
