verdict on finals so far:
- somehow did not fail western civ! even though last i checked, i was failing western civ. and i’m talking failing. like 43% failing.
- this has taught me that i am not allowed to take online courses where the professor is like ‘have at it guys!’
- the plus side is that i have my lovely friend google to help me on multiple choice exams.
- the downside is that i don’t have a professor being all ‘remember to do this this and that for next tuesday guys!’
- and it turns out that i need someone to tell me to do assignments otherwise i just forget about them.
- also did not fail fiction writing! despite the fact that i skipped class more than what was advisable.
- it’s mostly because i write like a boss.
- unclear as to whether or not i failed us history because one of my assignments and the midterm got lost in the student email.
- so emailed the professor and then forwarded the original email containing the missing assignments complete with timestamp of original sent date.
- and…we’ll see about that.
- failed autocad miserably because i skipped it too much and i’m not entirely sure he could find the final. i’m also pretty sure i was missing a bunch of assignments.
- which is kind of a bummer, but i mean. eh.
definitely not my best semester (not even close, i’m used to getting a’s and b’s), but it was better than the last two. next semester i have zero onlines and the looming promise of an associate’s degree to give me an easy transfer, so we’ll see how that works out.
the only thing i’m worried about this finals week is if i can finish the batmobile in time. it’s a good worry.
trying to give tyke a bath earlier:
- shampoo, yaaaay!
- wow, rude, you’re fuckin’ filthy, man; love the shampoo.
- love it.
- warm water, yaaaay!
- …or not, wow, you are just like morally offended by this section of the laundry room, aren’t you.
- deep scalp massage, yaaaay!
- i said, deep scalp massage, come on, those things are awesome, why are you crying.
- i’mma need more shampoo, bro, you stank.
- like, you are stanky, okay, you have evolved beyond stinky.
- girl, we can’t even just scoop the water to rinse him, we’re gonna need to run fresh water because he is disgusting.
- oh my god is that—
- oh my god is it even possible for you to shed this much and still have fur.
- holy fucking crap, man.
- washing paws, yaaaay!
- …listen, there was goose shit everywhere on that walk and you walked right through it, don’t give me that look.
- oh my god, you are being such a brat today, crying because you don’t want no bath. rude.
- …yeah, okay, we’re done, there’s only so much scrubbing we can do. i’mma brush you though, you shed way too much.
- brushing, yaaaay!
- …rude.
so sunday night i turned the volume up on my phone and left it on my desk so that the alarm would ring super loud this morning.
expectation: i would be forced to get up and walk over to shut my alarm off, thus waking me up.
reality: i got up and went over there to shut it off, then proceeded to sleep on the floor.
i’m a semester’s away from an associate’s degree.
…
little unnerving that i’m gonna be only the second person in my family to have any kind of degree, and that includes the uncle that’s been going to college since before i was born.
(mod note: !!!!!!!!!)
holy fuck okay apparently i missed two exams today (yes thank you rick i will be seriously reconsidering my life choices when it comes to online classes rude) but then when i did check blackboard all of half an hour ago i found out that the entire fucking system crashed and so everything is due tomorrow.
that’s my everyday, scrambling to take notes handwriting.
be jealous.
i am deeply jealous of people that can churn out stories like clockwork because i’ve got one due for the 20th and i have no idea where to start.
tonight and tomorrow:
i need to do all of the following:
- midterm essay for us hist
- notes for us hist c3-c5
- exam for western civ
- notes for western civ c23-c26
- idea/outline for short story #2; choose charas, pov, setting, time, etc.
- autocad assignment catchup
- find blueprint for autocad final or something
- go to class
- go to bank
- go get gas
- vote
- sleep (completely optional, obviously)
this…is probably going to bleed into wednesday.
oh my god
my professor: guys, just a heads up letting you know your midterm essay is due tomorrow, okay?
woman, class started on 17 october. that was like two and a half weeks ago okay how can there possibly be a midterm when the prefix mid is derived from middle which in this context would mean with an equal amount of time on each end and this is an eight week class; i was planning on at least two more weeks until this midterm fucking u g h.
okay okay fine; the social network soundtrack is on and i’mma get this shit done.
