After a refreshing weekend visit from my dear Mouse (dat pumpkin), I have realized that wow I certainly have a lot of stuff to do in November. So you know what I decided to do?
Post.
Because that is the proper action to take in such a situation.
Tomorrow I have this fantastic test on 150 pages of a textbook I have yet to read, along with 10 articles I have skimmed.
In the coming two weekends, with the 'help' of a group, I must conduct primary (focus-group) and secondary (internet!) research on a project of my own devising and create a survey that will reach 80 potential consumers.
I've got some ridiculous phone case project, which started out okay, but now my grade hangs on the ability for a somewhat incompetent adult to actually make a decision on his own and give me a prototype to create a KickStarter webpage for him.
Then I've got another three exams, two quizzes, and two fifteen-page group essays due, which are ten times worse than any normal essay because I have to work with people who literally write like they are in the fourth grade like honestly Missy my friend you would shed so many tears over this writing I mean this ridiculous run on sentence displays more elegance and grammatical propriety than some of the things these terrible excuses for scholars vomit from their fingers.
But the best news is that I only have one final. And then I have fifteen more credits.
...and then what?
Is that even good news? Then I graduate? And get a job? And go somewhere? Alone? With someone who won't be any of you guys?
I feel like everyone has their shit together and I am sitting here not reading a textbook, listening to this ridiculous song on loop and regretting life decisions. Sometimes I think the only thing I ever did right in life was meeting people like all of you (and also Brendan I guess).
What are your plans for the future?
This song is super catchy, except for the way it just cuts off at the end. Either it's designed for mad-sweet looping, or it just becomes part of another song which is super sweet.
Man I just wish I knew what this dude was saying.
I do not, in fact, have my shit together. And my condolences with the group projects thing. I hate group projects. Especially when the group has collectively shitty grammar. >:I
ReplyDeleteAll they teach us is that you can't depend on anyone to get shit done, but THAT IS A LESSON I ALREADY LEARNED.
Maybe you should explain that to them? But they might come back with the whole "you need to know how to work in a team blah blah blah." Which I guess is valid or whatever, but I still don't like it.
Yeah I am in all business courses so everyone is like "hah, teamwork is the business of the future!" when really it is either just teaching me how to do as little work as possible or how to deal with/do work for people who definitely shouldn't be in a university.
ReplyDeleteBut so far I really haven't done work for anyone besides myself, because I've had a grand turnaround in my public personality. It doesn't matter if I know you or not, because fuck you! I'm not doing shit for you if you're not doing shit for me! And if your idea's shit I'm going to tell you 'no that's shit please just do it the right way seriously."
It's way cooler than being polite.
I support this change. These kids'll learn quick that college is no place for coddling!
