just spilled my coffee and then almost immediately dropped my laptop when I went to pick up my coffee. Oh boy its been a day

 

I didn’t study for my first geography test and it showed because I failed and he doesn’t drop the lowest grade so yikes on me. I got 4 more tests to redeem myself.

 

i have to interview the head of the biology department in an hour and i'd really just rather not.
on the plus side i think my friend is gonna hook me up with a new job.

 

Yo senioritis is REAAAAL

 

I need to get my act together because I have been slacking hard on the semester and it barely started.

 

My first lab report for anatomy and I'm already procrastinating until the last minute. It's going to be a great semester.

 

The assignments are slowly starting to pile up and I hate it.

I also always end up with at least one professor that is utter garbage that I learn nothing from. I can already tell who that is this semester

 

How is it that I only have three teachers this semester and two of them are named Mel.

Anyways, it’s astounding how much I’m not caring about school rn haha. I mean, not really in a bad way, but I’m just very nonchalant about what needs to get done. Yesterday in class we were given a writing prompt that’s due in like two weeks and were tasked with doing some pre-writing for about twenty minutes and I just rested my head on my hand in a way that my teacher couldn’t see my face and napped. I’ll definitely have papers to write and shit but for the most part I just feel like all I have to do is wait for the semester to be over


*cut to two months later when I’m flipping out about having a paper due in 5 hours that I haven’t started*

 

How did people get survey responses before Facebook? I only used different groups and got like 300 in a week

 

@Dog with a Blog obviously I feel you.


I came home from class at 4:30 yesterday and then had to write a 1000-1500 word paper by midnight.
Now today I have to read a chapter and write a response paper
But instead ima take this nap

I also need to read articles and take notes but I can turn that in late so that’s the current plan

 

I'm tutoring this freshman composition (college writing) class, and some of the students really suck lol.

 

I just heard back about a job interview I am extremely excited about right as I was walking into class. Im definitely not learning anything over the next 1.5 hours haha

Edit: The professor just said he was gonna re-post the reading we are going over with all his additional notes. This reading went totally over my head so basically today has been a huge win for me!

 

I know I shouldn’t complain cause my school schedule is hella chill but damn, 3 hour long classes suck lol

 

i'm starting to feel like community college is kinda bullshit. i'm re-listening to an interview I did with the head of the biology department, and the theme of the interview seems to be "you can take a biology class here, and then you can go somewhere else."
i know most students going to this school will transfer out but as a school wouldn't you want to emphasize the time students spend here?

 

How does that make it bullshit though? An affordable and localized option for the same classes seems like a no-brainer.

 

I agree with that aspect but I guess for me I've just had this feeling that I'm being pushed out the door before I've gained anything of value, does that make sense?

 

I suppose yeah

 

My community college experience was total garbage. I’m glad I did it cause it was pretty much free but the cost was that I had absolutely zero motivation to be there and it took me forever to finish because I hated it so much. Not to get all conspiracy theory but while I was there I was convinced that it was designed to keep you down and to thwart you from from finishing. I had some decent teachers but overall I just felt like I was always working against something rather than being propped up like I should have been. Truly a horrible experience.

 

In contrast, my experience at a university has been a breeze

 

thats really encouraging lol. i might be going to a private university

 

I went (and now again for my master’s) to a small private business school with like a couple of hundred students from like 100 countries and it was/is a lot of fun. To be fair it’s still a lot cheaper than most regular American colleges, from what I can tell.

 

Damn I’m sorry y’all have had such bad experiences with community colleges :/

Mine wasn’t exactly stellar but I think there are pros and cons to both schools and can see the place of both. And I’m personally glad I got to experience both, if only for the money I saved lol

 

i just read and took notes on an assigned chapter for geology so that i could take the corresponding online quiz. BUT THE BOOK DIDN'T COVER ANYTHING ON THE GODDAMN QUIZ! AND VICE VERSA! I'M GLAD I TOOK NOTES ABOUT THE GODDAMN ATMOSPHERE AND THEN TOOK A QUIZ ON NOT THE ATMOSPHERE!
i'm so pissed.

 

The professor for the class i'm tutoring in is kind of the worst.

 

so a good majority of my geography class is doing bad so he keeps throwing extra credit work at us and this is the best possible thing.
