i wish i was in college so i didn't have to do such pointless work on topics that i either already know everything about or understand fully due to the notes we took...
in other words if school did notes, quizzes, and tests, as opposed to notes, homework, quizzes, homework, tests, and homework, not only would i have better grades (laziness = poor homework grades), but school wouldn't be as long (it would take, say, 6 years instead of 12).

You seem to be under a serious misapprehension about college. Many undergrad classes have lots of homework, and lots of papers...plus outside readings.

Laziness hurts you MORE in college, not less. In college, it's assumed you're a grown-up so you have more personal responsibility for your work.
 
Don't forget the homework is harder and requires more time spent doing it.

In essence, if you want to have any free time in college you become VERY efficient with your time.

Take me for instance. I have a programming lab due tomorrow (finished it this afternoon), two tests, and a paper due tomorrow as well. Knowing how incredible my mental skills are in the morning, I played Guild Wars, then there was chapel, lunch, and then study... which leads me to wonder why exactly I'm here anyway...

That paper isn't finishing itself like I told it to -darn it. :eek:

I think I'll leave now.
 
Yeah, college keeps you busy, thankfully my first semester is not extremely homework heavy so i still get free time.
 
I am glad in some regards that all my classes are on Monday Tuesday and Wednesday then I have Thursday through Sunday to finish all my homework, though it also kind of is a down side because there is so much time once I'm done classes for the week to slack off.
 
SO glad to be out of school!!! ha ha! I'll never write a paper or a thesis again!......wait....I didn't have to write any in college!

the sweetness of being a Music Major....I didn't even have to write a history paper - lol.....but then again.....I had to take every exam twice and there was a lot of theory...so double the exams and 5+ hours of homework a night kind of sucked.....

Not sure what is worse....*sigh*....
 
Well you don't live in florida, where politicians think it is fun to force a "gorden rule" which makes 70% of the classes require a 3000 word minimum writing requirement. As it is I have like 3 papers due by the end of this month.

ouch. 3000 words is a lot!
 
On a side note:
My day was great except for one hour which involves the events following lunch... and band after school...

after lunch i parked in one of the spots i usually park in, and many other students also park in, and a teacher chewed me out for parking there because apparently they're teacher's spots, and he explained that the school is towing improperly parked vehicles... so i pulled out and headed for another spot... unfortunately, when i went for a spot, the people in the car beside it decided to walk into and stand in that spot, at which point i was just slightly too far for the only remaining spot on the row [and i had to take one of the two, since the parking lot doesn't have room to turn around]. Naturally, i didn't want to disturb them, and tried to get in the one i was almost past... Fortunately, i managed to get in almost straight, and well within the spot's boundaries, after backing up once... I emphasize the underlined phreases because of the next series of events:
1. A mob of people gets out of nearby cars and watches me park
2. I exit my car and walk past them
3. Me being a common target for laughter, they decided to make fun of my ability to park, which i personally think is not only pointless, but stupid... However, they obviously did it because there were 10+ of them and 1 of me, and you know the peer pressure impress your friends by making fun of others idea... One mocked, "Want me to straighten your truck up for you?" to which i said nothing (i'd like to see him park a ford F-250 in one try in THAT parking lot >.>)
4. I head to class and realize i forgot MY BACKPACK. Coincidentally i didn't need anything for that class...
5. once that class ended (50 minutes later), i ambled (slow hall traffic) outside and ran both to the truck and to my next class... (both trips were across the campus)
6. I'm out of breath and my stomach has been hurting since a few days, made worse by the rushing and carrying a 30lb. bag on my back.

After school, the band's practice field is occupied by parked cars watching a jr. high (?) football game on the nearby football field... we instead go to the football practice field, which has grass that i'm extremely allergic to (for example, if i for some unknown reason eat the grass chances are i'll be hospitalized)... the practice was for two hours, and my allergies often act up after 5 minutes of practice on the football field that was played on today... Naturally i feel terrible now after a long hard day

yet just the prospect of relaxing and talking to my Christian friends is good enough to replace my emotions temporarily...

meanwhile i need to research Red Skelton for Theatre

tomorrow i have theatre practice because i made the cast for the play :3
we're doing a bunch of funny skits :P
 
(previous post was half a thousand words, which took very little time... this is why i clearly prefer typing to writing... also typing is easier to edit and make many copies of...)
 
hmm now is a bad time to be spending enjoying company, since the leader of my star wars: battlefront ii clan just quit the game and i inherited the clan from him, and i've just returned to FoG after an extended absence...
essentially i need to be spending time on the recovery of two separate organizations... fortunately, one of the organizations almost runs itself while the other is able to stay glued together well enough for repair. sadly, i don't have access to either the time or the resources required for the repair at the moment (no time due to school, no resources because the leader didn't pass on some necessities for management of the clan... i would be able to easily and quickly patch up the problem, but many of the clan members have trouble with change and take so much about the clan for granted that i am restricted to leaving it as it is except for scarce, minor edits.)
 
ya, Amicus and I used to play i know maybe about 2 gliches from what he taught me.. :o.
its a fun game, but GW pulled me back.
