adjuncthell: Last day of classes tomorrow

Last day of classes tomorrow

yay, yay, and um... might I add..... YAY

That's pretty much all I have to say today. Tonight I'm making final edits on the final (well ok pre-final and final edits since really I have to add a few more things before I can do final edits) and getting all that stuff ready to turn in to the work studies for printing tomorrow. I'll have all the grades except the final exam grades ready by Thursday afternoon, and will just then have to get my Scantron stuff and audio files ready and await each final. I have one a day pretty much except Friday, which is nice at least.

Two days ago during orals one guy from the 2h class asked in French if I liked their class and I said yes and he said they all liked my class a lot. I knew this already but it was fun to have someone tell me it (in addition to its being nice to have someone communicate something real to you during their oral interview - very refreshing). That class is my second final I think, or maybe my first; it is always this way - you never get to save your favorite class for last. (Which they would see as a bad thing anyway - not being able to get out of town earlier - so I guess that's as it should be.)

The world is full of this kind of dumb smart-alec who doesn't understand anything.

I did not achieve this position in life by having some snot-nose punk leave my cheese out in the wind.

  Danny: I've gotta go to college.. I gotta. 

Webb: Aahh Danny... You don't have to go to college; this isn't Russia. Is this Russia? This isn't Russia is it? No, didn't think so..

Of course there's a lot of knowledge in universities: the freshmen bring a little in; the seniors don't take much away, so knowledge sort of accumulates.

  If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.

In school, we had a policy of never studying unless it was absolutely necessary, and still got high-to-mediocre grades. This convinced us that we were smarter than the average citizen, and actually, we're still thinking that way.

  ...I hesitated; with the lack of self-knowledge I'd exhibit for years to come, I'd signed up for an eight o'clock class.

You can lead a boy to college, but you cannot make him think. - Elbert Hubbard

  ...Meanwhile, the Internet's booming, and kids we gave C pluses to are waltzing out of college and getting rich on stock options while we bust our asses for a pathetic stipend that doesn't even cover the rent.  

- Tom Perrotta, Little Children  

You have four years to be irresponsible here. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You'll never remember class time, but you'll remember time you wasted hanging out with your friends. So, stay out late. Go out on a Tuesday with your friends when you have a paper due Wednesday. Spend money you don't have. Drink 'til sunrise. The work never ends, but college does.

 - Tom Petty  

Colleges are like old-age homes, except for the fact that more people die in colleges. 

- Bob Dylan
