Comparing textbook prices with my roommate, India gets their books for cheap (i.e. reasonable prices) compared to the insanity that is the U.S. market for textbooks. For one book I selected, it would run you about $225 from Amazon.com, but the same one from Amazon.in is about ₹1100, or $16 USD. Amazon.in won't ship that to US addresses, for obvious reasons, but why not just have it sent to a mail forwarding service in India? Even with expedited shipping, that'd still be far cheaper. The especially funny thing is that even buying it from Amazon.in, it would still ship from a store in the US.

Eat all the dicks, administrative shitlords. Thanks for jerking me around for the past couple of weeks, waiting to act until the last possible minute, and generally being unhelpful, which has forced me to scramble at the eleventh hour to finally get registration done for the semester that started last week. Double gently caress you because I had to pay out of pocket thanks to your stupid poo poo.  And group therapy was cancelled this week because the therapist is sick.

Graphs are tough, but an awful lot of problems can be solved with the clever use of graphs. I suck at graph stuff.

It's an important concept in math and computer science used to represent objects and the relationships between them. Think of a road map, for example. A graph consists of "nodes" linked to one another by "edges." A road map could have roads be represented by edges, and each intersection would therefore be represented by a node. ex:

Stupid poo poo happens in academia. It's stupid, doesn't make sense, and pisses you off, but in the end, one grade is about as significant as getting a PCS award or some dumb poo poo. Two spring semesters ago I got a B simply because the professor couldn't do loving math, even though I had an A on every single lab and exam, including the final. Apparently, the person who would have taught the course retired a few weeks before the semester, so the school had to find somebody in a hurry. They dug up this muppet from another school nearby that I'd never loving heard of, and he wound up "teaching" (if you can call it that) the subject on which he had zero experience (seriously, zero). The end of the semester approaches and this guy tells us how the final will be structured: it will contain four programs, of which you must write solutions for three. One of those he even gave in advance so that we could turn it in ahead of the final, leaving plenty of time to do two more programs (this is important) during the exam period. Now, all of the lazy professors love to use Blackboard these days, because you can just punch in grades and it calculates each student's grade for you. Because the final would need a total of three solutions, he set up the final in Blackboard to take three solutions for the final. In his infinite wisdom, the professor also created another graded item weighted similarly (but not exactly, because he don't math gud) to represent the problem given in advance. Again, three out of four programs need to be written for the final. I turned in a solution for the problem given in advance, totally killed it, no problem. The final comes, I knock out the other two programs, submit my code through Blackboard, and go home. Come to find out after the fact that, because of the bizarre way that he set up the scoring for the final, I got credit for only two problems even though I had submitted all three (that first problem was also separate item). Thus, because I only got about 2/3 of the points (again, did not loving add up correctly anyway), my grade for the final was dogshit and my course grade dropped to a B. On top of this, because this ding-dong was only brought on temporarily, he didn't have an office or leave a way to contact him. No loving way to get it fixed and chew his dumb rear end out.  gently caress, he was a retard. Anyway, that's my story, thanks. e: Jesus, I spend way too long typing this.

I think I lucked out on professors this semester. Today my friend was bitching about her orgo professor, and everything I've heard about him so far leads me to believe that he's got each and every one of his students on his poo poo list. The professor who was giving my first exam today brought in donut holes. No complaints from me!

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.

not caring here posted: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. If you had asked me right at the start of the semester if I thought this guy was a lazy gently caress, I'd have taken one look at him and said, "yep, no doubt." The bizarre thing, though, is that he really pulls his weight in actually executing the labs and has caught my mistakes on several occasions. Weird. I'm not worried about being accused, myself, because I can just point to the email chain where he's attached that garbage and say, "look at how this is written, then compare it to anything else that I've submitted."

I'm already going to take a hit on this report because I had to start the whole thing over. Whatever happens to him is not my concern; what happens to me is. I have not, do not, nor will cheat on anything I put my name on, whether for school or work, because I value my self-worth and reputation too much to just piss it away for saving a few minutes or whatever. I do not want my name to be on anything like that or to be associated with anyone who plays that way. It's not FYGM, it's "I don't want to get hosed." You're right, though: this isn't the military. There, you stick your neck out for your buddy because he's covering your rear end, too. That's not the case here. Naked Bear fucked around with this message at 18:49 on Mar 16, 2017 |

I should have mentioned this earlier because it's super-duper relevant: every report that we turn in is required to have a signed statement at the end saying, in effect, "the work contained herein is my own." I signed that statement and turned in the previous report believing that was true, but I am now finding out that was not the case through no fault of my own. That's why I'm pissed, that's why I'm not going to try and sweep it under the rug.

Was he a medically retired Mormon from Montana? His favorite "profanity" was "dirty sow." He also referred to hired help as "Tobies" and legit did not know what that meant.

Two weeks later, my lab partner finally sent me the data for that loving lab... and only after I reminded him again (and twice). Bonus: today he talked with the professor, who then very generously said that she'd take the report late if we could get it to her before she left. Of course, he sent me the data around noon and then waited two hours to tell me that we could still get it in today (when I wasn't even home). Naturally, it's Friday, so you bet your rear end the prof peace'd the gently caress out not long after. gently caress this kid. Oh, and then he suggested that I make up some dumb poo poo about being sick. loving serious, guy?
