Not quite as bad as butt-shaped sweat spots but still...

Forgot my slip today so had to wear my jeans (in which I walk to school lately in the rather crisp mornings) with part of the top ensemble I had planned to go with my black broomstick skirt. Alas... My incredibly fun, well-thought-out outfit all for naught, plus two days in a row in jeans (dressed down slightly Friday)! Starting to look like a ragamuffin. Good thing la PP didn't see me - she'd have given me her Oh So Subtle once-over and this time my aesthetic score would have been none too high.

Sigh.

Can't be on top of everything. I did have a rockin' compo topic for the 102's - altho they surely didn't see it that way.

Don't get me started on how NFA some of them are turning out to be, writing-wise. Still my most fun class but also the most challenging since we have about 300% more to cover in there than the 101's plus the battle with their already being pretty saturated from last semester...

Fun fun fun!

Aggressive Whiny ps: she was in class today, a bit reticent, but actually asked a few questions, so OK, "E" for effort but she didn't say word one about meeting or anything. Hmmmmm.

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

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.

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.

  ...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.

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.
