You guys do realize that if you spend all that time you use figuring out new ways to cheat and actually study during that time instead your grades would probably be alright with no chance of getting in shit right?
Not to sound like your mother or anything....

There's also a program that allows you to take text files and convert them into PSP-screen-sized JPEGs. Although, I've never actually used it to cheat.Originally Posted by Chiodos
As for Archangel, you'll be fine. I never study for anything, and somehow I end up well-and-good with everything. Just relax. As long as you don't get what those so-called "experts" call "Test Anxiety" (Which is really a load of bull in my opinion), I'm sure you can figure it all out. The best thing to do is remember what the question is asking you as you're answering it. Think back to the first or second time you heard the information, and if there's any important facts, they'll stick out like a black spot on white carpet.
Now, for my bitch: Classmates.
So I was sitting in my US History class today, minding my own business while somewhat half-heartedly listening to the teacher. She goes over what we'll need for the quiz tomorrow, and when she finishes that, she says something-or-other about homework. This springs up a discussion. Okay, fine. But then people begin suggesting that the homework be worth more. They explore the idea, and I hear numbers floating. 25, 30, 35, 40, 80%. Now, see, I'm not the guy you'd look to to do his homework. I pass all my classes by classwork and tests/quizzes. So, and in no small way, this would screw me over. Well, the discussion starts winding down and the teacher's beginning to come around and agree with the class. Unfortunately, the majority decides, "Hey, this'll be great!" and the deal is made. Now our fourth quarter grades will have 35% of them based solely on homework. I didn't want to speak up, for one since I had just moved here not two months ago, and I don't think my opinion would cound in the first place; and two, like I said, this was a majority, so my say definitely wasn't going to count. So, I'm stuck needing to do at least some small amount of homework in order to keep my passing grade (which, surprisingly or no, is a B - surprising for not doing HW...). Add to this the fact that I'm always going to forget my book at my locker everyday, because I don't go to it that often, and I'm stuck walking home, which means I don't want a thirty-pound book to compound my already-eighty-pound load. And it's beginning to get hotter here, which is even worse. So, back to the matter at hand. I hate classmates... now let's see how many of them fail because of their stupidity.
Now 99% disease free!
Damn, I wish my grades were based on homework....mine is more like 25% Midterm 1, 25% Midterm 2, 50% Final. Basically, I'm screwed. So carrying your textbook should be the least of your worries!!! That's the easy part!!!
I tried my best...
@python: dude, you're talking about high school. None of what you're learning there matters, as far as book learning.
Why don't you just leave that book at home where you'll need it? Or photocopy it and leave the copy at home? Or make a friend with someone who lives nearby so you can borrow their book for homework and they can borrow your book for class. Preferably a hot friend of the opposite gender.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
I know it doesn't matter, I'm just bitching on principal; and if I left the book home, I'd forget to bring it back in before exams. Besides, I have to bitch once weekly or else I just feel empty.
Now 99% disease free!
Really you need to worry more about planning for prom and who's going to be the homecoming king and queen this year. Or how about that giant zit on your cheek? That's what high school is about, not US history exams. They gloss over the real history anyway. The victorious write the history books, as you know.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
God damn procrastination...
As usual I put the majority of my work off until the last moment and now I'm probably going to have to spend all day and night tomorrow finishing my assignment :/
fuck....
Also, I laugh at high school kids when they think they get a lot of homework. Once you go into secondary education, you spend more time studying/doing homework than you spend time in class. That is, of course, assuming you're going to a good school and not a useless "diploma vendor".

so basically it being the school season and all or end of spring semester, i got this teacher and she teaches public speaking. When it comes to public speaking its not my strong points mainly because i do get nervous and i can be shy at times i.e voice chokes up and find it hard to spit my god damn words, although i have gotten better. Well then there in lies the problem have you guys ever had that teacher that doesn't really teach, just likes to go off into tangents and talk for the whole hour fifty fuckin minutes your stuck with the old bag. Sometimes when you expect her to shut up somehow she manages to turn the 3 minute conversation into an additional 25 minutes, I about lost it last wensday when until I finally stood up and just walked outta her class. The sad part about most of it is she doesn't really teach shit and just rambles even though I guess im paying for a easy A.
The higher-ups for out degree just suddenly had a great idea. They'll increase the amounts of spots for students each year, but to maintain quality, they'll make the exams harder. Weighs out doesn't it?
They pretty much made our 2nd year oral exam a whole lot harder, and I feel sorry for the 1st years. We've got a counseling exam at the end of the semester, and it's like the most pressuring test we've yet to come by. Depending on the situation, there are certain critical questions that we have to ask/address, and some minor ones that we can score if we want to. Pretty much if you miss a critical question in your counseling the patient, you fail that part of the test. Fail the test, you fail the course, since you have to pass every component. Do that, and you can either leave the degree or come back next year and do it (and it ONLY, plus anything else you failed.) again.
Well, if they put it in the exam then it can be done, you might say. The lecturers thought that too probably, and just decided to prove it to us by doing a demonstration right in front of the cohort and have others mark them.
Funnily enough, he failed. He missed a critical, and also went over the time limit. His communication skills got pounded on. And this guy's our course co-ordinator.
Basically, it was one big "freak you out" session. I'm a high-aimer and my grades are quite good, but honestly, if I pass, I'll be laughing.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Today was a fairly shitty day.
First off i got kicked out of a school project cause of some totally fking unfair reasons, so now i have to redo all that shit again next year, this is mostly due one dude in my group and even though i spoke to the projectleader, he still believes otherwise, so messed up.
Second, I lost my freaking gloves at school, fuck, yeah i grew quite attached to them not only cause they cost me 90 euro's when i bought them, they also fit really nice.
I'm sad and angry at the same time now ;(
Wow, so this person who worked on the course can't pass it himself? That's screwed up. That had to have told the person something. What are you studying? It seems to me like you're in a sort of public speaking class or maybe a medical school...
Now 99% disease free!
Yeah, I'm doing a pharmacy degree. I'm sure that it's not impossible, despite my last post, but just the fact that he failed, and he's been in the profession for how long tells you how likely it is for us to screw up.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Well I'd hope a degree in pharmacy requires some rigorous training and examination. All we need in the world is more untrained pharmacists issuing out the wrong drugs or a bad combination of drugs that end up making things worse for the customer. I hope you do pass, Buffalobiian, as at that point it will pretty much guarantee you know what you are doing.

ok. It's 7:42. The directv people were supposed to be coming between 4 and 8pm... they even called me around 3:30-4 to assure me they would be here around 5-530...
9:55pm... The ''tech'' came at around 8:45... looked around for 5 minutes and said we didn't have line of sight because of all the trees out back and now we're wondering if he just didn't want to climb on the roof...omfg.
Comcast is also way too expensive... 45-50 for basic cable, 13$ for hd DVR, and then 13 for one set of movie channels or 22 for two sets... i might settle tomorrow idk.

My bitch, sleep deprivation. I'm sure I haven't slept for more than a total of about 10hrs in the last 3 days.
Dreaming impossible dreams.
Sapphire is awesome!
Trust me, you don't want what I had. I'm like a stickman now. Luckily I have access to all this fatty American food for a couple of days before I go back to Asia. But i managed to get sick again. Don't know whats up with my immune system lately.
Umm... U HAV AIDS!?
No, but seriously, that sucks for you. Enjoy the fattiness of our local cuisine.
Well, it's raining again here in good ol' Connecticut. And it's probably not gonna stop till Wednesday. I don't think that needs an explanation as to why it's something to bitch about, but I'll say anyway. Not having gym class sucks, I can't go outside without a thorough drenching, and it's beginning to get cold again. What's really surprising about the first reason is that I used to absolutely HATE going to gym class, and now it's one of my favorite classes. Must be the New England weather. LOL.

I withdrew all my paypal money to my bank and then tried printing a shipping label that it said was $27.... it wouldn't print it so i had to take it to the UPS store.... they charged me $51 for the same package even though i'd overestimated the weight by 8 pounds online.... bastards....
Trees and the war on Sudafed. That's my bitching for the day.
The short version is: I've got nasty tree pollen allergies. It sucks, and it sucks a lot more now that I'm two USDA hardiness zones further south than I was last year at this time.
And what's worse, with the whole "pseudoephedrine is a precursor for methamphetamine" thing... the Safeway by my job doesn't carry real sudafed at all anymore. So I had to leave work early to go home and buy some real, effective sudafed, because I couldn't keep focus long enough to accomplish anything.
its kinda rediculous to have to provide id and sign off on a single package of cold medicine in case you wanted to cook it into whatever minute amount of meth you could make from it...
