I haven’t done much posting lately having been kinda busy. I’ll be busy next week too, probably, but I will try harder to do some posting. If I don’t do it, who will?
We’re only a few weeks away from school starting back up and I am surprised that it is so soon. I suppose working full time means that Summer vacation isn’t going to feel like much, but it really didn’t feel like much. I hope little kids realize how good they’ve got it. But they don’t. They’re idiots.
Okay, so, I should mention that yesterday I got a letter in the mail telling me that I am on the Dean’s List for my schoolings last year. The letter doesn’t give a good explanation of what exactly the Dean’s List is, or how one gets on it, but it uses the term “outstanding scholarly abilities” so I’m pretty sure that means I’m smarter than anyone who reads this. ANYONE.
Haiku!
Butts are on people.
Most people got butts on them.
People got the butts.
I am so smart! I AM SO SMART!!!
Hey, I got my final grades for the year. This is them:
Astronomy: A
Intro to European History: B+
Intro to Prose and Fiction: A
Mythology: A-
Reading Popular Culture: B
Writing for University Students: A+
I know I’ve said more than once that I don’t care about my marks this time around, that I’m there to learn things rather than just learn how to pass classes, but I admit that it is nice to see decent grades because that means I’m less likely to get kicked out.
I wrote an exam tonight. Only three left. I’m sure I’ve already said this, but I don’t like exams. They’re my least favorite part of school, and they’re all I gots left. One thing, though, I think that my chronic procrastination during the school year has made me a little better of whipping together an essay on the spot during an exam. I’m not saying I did particularly well (I need more than an hour to write a decent essay), but I did better than I might have without a year of procrastinatory practice.
Anyway, a new thing to add to my list of things I’d do if I were rich: Take classes at university and just not show up to the exams because I don’t even care because I’m rich.
Haiku!
The king has been born.
Long live the king! Three years pass:
The king is a jerk.
In other news, I have watched Game of Thrones. I watched it. Are you happy now society? I said I’d watch it and I did. Now I only have about a million other super hit shows that I am supposed to catch up on.
In other other news, it is snowing outside. What the chunks! Stop that!
In still other other news, my apartment building has this chute by the elevator down which we are to dump garbage bags. Recyclables and compost and stuff goes down to the basement, but garbage bags go down the chute. It is pretty conventient. But as of Monday that chute will no longer be in use. The garbage has to go down to the basement too. It’s not really that inconvenient, I still don’t have to worry about “garbage day” like some chump homeowner, but I will miss the chute.
I’ve finished writing essays for the year, and I think I’ve only got three days of classes left. After next week, all that remains is the exams.
Exams have got to be my least favorite element of schooling, so I’m not happy that they’re what’s left. It is especially sad because the classes that remain aren’t about teaching any more. It’s all about how to study for exams, and how to pass exams, and all that stuff that I don’t care much about. Basically, from a PDR point of view, school is over and all that’s left is the annoying unimportant stuff they make us do so they can feel like they’re doing something.
My plan was to take some classes over the Summer, but reality is that I can’t currently afford any classes. With that in mind, I’m kinda going to have to make up Summer as I go, so let’s see what happens. Hopefully I will have a lot of time for doing things on the site, here.
(Edited in later in the day): Looks like the Radiolab polling has finished and I felt like I should include the results for posterity. Shrewdinger wins.
