Rant of the week

[LiberalNation]

So had my college orientation. It sucked, bunch of crap, the first day we did nothing of substance but had to stay all day and sleep at one of the residence halls, the second day, today, we got to register for classes. Just finished up. WHy couldn't they have just let us register without all the crap but anyway.

So the classes I'll be taking fall semester are.

Nursing 101 on mondays 4p to 5p.

Military science 101 wens 3 to 5p & tue 1 to 2p.

Military physical fitness Mon, wen, fri at 6:30 to 7:30 in the morning.

Biology 102 tue and thur 11a to 12p.

English 101 mon, wen, fri 9 to 10a

and math pre-algebra tue and thur 7 to 8p. Which really sucks, doesn't even count, a remedial class but they wouldn't let me take college algebra cuz i scored a 16 on the math part of the ACT. I'm gona have a year and a half of remiedial math before they'll let me take the one math class I need for my degree program. Assholes.

[LiberalNation]

LN, if I my give you some friendly advice? Many people look back on college as a wonderful time of their life. Try to think positive and enjoy the time. It will go by quickly, then you will be in the work force, and you may really have some things to complain about. Try not to see the glass as half-empty so much of the time.

I agree with Abbey......and think of all the new puntang there!!! :laugh2:

[gabosaurus]

College is more than four years of taking classes. It is a preparation for life.
Most classes are boring and appear meaningless. When you get out, you will find that many jobs are the same way. :p

[LiberalNation]

Try not to see the glass as half-empty so much of the time.

lol that's just me. You'd think it sucked too if you had to pay for classes that don't even count.

[LiberalNation]

I agree with Abbey......and think of all the new puntang there!!! :laugh2:

lol yeah there did seem a lot more options just glancing around. :cheers2:

[LiberalNation]

Man, somebody ran over my cats tail with a bike. Mean people, why are they always trying to kill my cat. She doesn't hurt nobody.

[Silver]

We scheduled for next years classes today. They changed a lot of stuff, now you don't get to pick between regular, honors, and AP classes the consolers do that by looking at your grades and test scores. You don't get a choice. The assholes have me slotted for honors English 4 instead of regular. I find this very annoying because English isn't one of my better subjects. I made A's in the classes two years in a role only because the classes were easy. They are gona go and cause me way more work to keep my all A's and B's with this crap next year. What bull. I wouldn’t have done so well on those standardized tests if I knew they were going to do this to me for it.

Haha...you're a liberal and you complain about being led around by the nose by those that think THEY know whats good for you, better than you do....

You're and idiot that supports liberals and don't realize what the hell you support??? Is that really the case.....?

You support the party that makes believe the people elect the nominee for President while its obvious its the "super" delegates that actually do the electing...:laugh2:

[LiberalNation]

I just wrecked my pretty motorcycle in my own driveway. Didn't feel good, was just starting off, ran off the edge of the driveway, dumped the bike on it's side, it looks worse then me, I just have a skinned knee, shoulder, and hip plus a big bruise on me hip. Was going like 15 mph. Helmet saved my face. I shouldn't have tried to ride, I was sick a dizzy all day yesterday, I was dizzy this morning but my dad wanted me to ride with him and I thought it would make me feel better. Well I do feel better now, amazing what a little excitment can do.

Pics from my tumble on the concrete

Bike got scratched up.

Sore this morning, must have hit my shoulder harder then I figured when I landed. It's killing me, plus road rash it stinging. WHy I hafta get it on my stomach. Terrible place, if my pants aren't rubbing my shirt is.

[LiberalNation]

My parents just signed a lease for my apartment downtown. :cheers2:

So cool, not gona move in till august but they wanted to make sure they had a place for me that was halfway decent. Pretty cool, two bedrooms, 1 bath, my cousins gona room with me since we'll both be going to school. It's in this old 1800s built house but it's been renovated and was nice and clean compared of some of those places. Only 1/4 of a mile from campus, I could walk or ride a bike.

:dance:

Maybe she discovered boys?

[LiberalNation]

Life is boring, I sit at home doing nothing all day and night then repeat. My biggest excitment is waking my mother up every morning at 6am to take a daily walk and do some hand weights in my quest for more toned arms and the ability to do 19 pushups.

When does school start?

[Abbey Marie]

We seem to have lost our LN. :(

We seem to have lost our LN. :(

And Karlmarx too.

[Kathianne]

We seem to have lost our LN. :(

A serious loss imho.

A serious loss imho.

I know! I enjoyed her youthful prespective, and her ability to surprise me every now and then.

[Kathianne]

Not to mention that she was often spot on, just the problem of gender for some posters. I've never understood that.

That's cuz yer a girl! AND you have cooties too! :poke:

And she was a lesbian! All lesbians are cool! :laugh2:

[Kathianne]

And she was a lesbian! All lesbians are cool! :laugh2:

Fool! I wouldn't go that far! :laugh2:

[KitchenKitten99]

She's probably getting ready for school and getting settled. She'll be back, I'm sure.

[Mr. P]

Right you pretend dunderhead.

Girl COOTIES are NOT pretend! So there! :poke:

[LiberalNation]

Wow, did see this. Well I'm back for better or worse. Plenty of new rants.

So I'm living on my own a UofL. Worst part is no close parking and lots of walking wherever you want to go. I paid $80 for a parking permit that is farther from campus then my house. Wouldn't have got it if I had known that but they said you needed one.

Biology test tomorrow. Online, shouldn't be too bad. Your whole grade is based on just 4 exams so you can't screw up on even one.

I've been doing the rotc thing. I like some aspects but like many here predicted I prolly wont keep it up. PT at 6 in the morning three mornings a week is killing me. To lazy for that if my parents are willing to pay for my college. Dropping next semester but you atleast got to wear and cool army uniform and do fun things like repelling and shooting a m16 for this one.

[LiberalNation]

So just found out the University is going to require every student to purchase a $500 meal plan per semester even if you don't want it and don't even eat on campus. In this way they are going to force people to eat on campus for more than $5 a day. Such bullshit but that's the way it goes. They're dining service sucks, just fast food joints like wendys and subway and papa johns.

[LiberalNation]

sigh, plain white rice for supper, well late night meal, again. Need to get to the store, it was about the only thing I have left besides some eggs and a few cans of coke.

Found out today I have to go to two mandatory seminars, one on study skills, the other critical thinking or some such. Waste of time but I wont pass my actual class without going and may have to skip another class just to make. These are the last two left and they only let in 30 people so better be early.

My advisor wont email me back, I can't register for next semester classes until she meets with me and the sign up book for a 30 minute time slot with her was completly full.

[Abbey Marie]

Are these annoyances because you go to a very big school? (Assuming it is big).

[PostmodernProphet]

the other critical thinking

we've given you lots of practice on that......lol, I have to laugh at what Pale Rider would have thought about you in the ROTC......

[LiberalNation]

Are these annoyances because you go to a very big school? (Assuming it is big).

I don't know, most universities are like this tho. Difficult, bad admin, no customer service for what you're paying them.

[LiberalNation]

Plain white rice for supper again. Going to that store as soon as I finish.

[LiberalNation]

Advisor finally emailed me back and said she would lift my flag since I met with her an extra time earlier in the year and I can register but need to sign the book which she will add more pages to and meet with her later.

[LiberalNation]

There are a lot of armed robberies in and around campus. Got my parents worried, trying to forbid me from walking around at night. The student activities center got robbed by two black men with a gun last night. 3 stick-ups/purse snatches in the last two weeks and my cars been gotten into twice with people rummaging around. Don't keep anything in it so no harm.

The house across from my daughter was robbed yesterday...she's not on campus, but close.

[LiberalNation]

Man this is the worst week to start my period. Have a gyno appointment friday and they wont do a pap or anything else if you're bleeding. I really need a new birth control prescription, I wouldn't be having a period right now if they would have just given me an extra refill but no you have to have an appointment and I'll prolly need two now because of this before I get more than one refill.

My systems all off now.

[LiberalNation]

So last night my roomate got the radio jacked out of his truck which is parked right beside mine. Didn't lock it, said he had nothing to steal, now really does. Tore the whole thing out. Something like that can't be worth anything it's an old truck and old system.

Next I finally got the hole taken off my account and can register for classes next. They gave me $3000 extra bucks on my account by mistake that I had to pay back. Lucky I didn't spend it when it magically showed up in my account. Plus a $100 late for not knowing about it and paying them back immediately. Plus another $50 in transaction fees all for a mistake they made. So I ended up paying back more than they accidently gave me. Didn't have time to fight them tho or I wouldn't have been able to register on time.

In some good news. I'm going out to a concert tonight with some friends. Only ten dollars. This band. http://hk.youtube.com/watch?v=s-_Cstkk6Jc

Roommate? a "He"? Off campus? I thought you were gay? Or is he?

[LiberalNation]

Off campus, roomate is my first cousin, family. Parents idea, thought I'd be safer in the "big city" if I was living with a male relative. I'm gay (not that he or my parents know), he's straight.

Bad news in math tonight. Failed another quiz that I thought I had aced. Need at least a 75 to pass this class. I don't know what I have, only that I've failed nearly every quiz and got As and every test but there are more quizes then tests. Professors gona copute my grade for me monday to tell me where I'm at. I was hoping for B (84 to 93) but I prolly gona have to just be satisfied passing.

Bombed an military science tests as well. It was easy, I just didn't study, only 2 tests the whole year in there. Fingers crossed on passing now. Going to study math tonight instead of going out.

[LiberalNation]

and besides, just because you are sharing an apartment with a guy doesn't mean you're sleeping with him. People do it all the time.

Feel a little better, mom came for a visit since she had to drive the brother up here for a requetball match. He doesn't drive yet. Went over all my grades and paper work. Organized and figure out what I had left to do this semester.

The General UofL class is pass or fail, need atleast 22 out of 27 to pass, I already have 22 so even if I did nothing else I've passed it. So check that off the list.

Biology is a 4 exam class. Your entire grade is based solely on four test you take. I've taken 2 so far scoring a 94, and a 90. So 94, 90, ??, ??. Just have to do well on two more and I'm done there.

Math, I've taken 3 exams so far scoring 95, 86, 96. There are two more exams left and a final exam. Done poorly on all but a few of the quizes and not gotten full points for homework. Goal, do all the homework that is left, don't fail another quiz, pass all the coming exams with an 84 or higher.

English, 4 essay class which makes up 80% of your total grade, the rest is attendence, class perticipation, and class work. 2 essays graded so far, scoring 88 and 86 but can be revised and turned in for a better grade. Next essay due this friday, done it. 1 more to go. Attendence I'm doing really bad on, miss 6 classes you lose a letter grade, I think I've missed 5, so no more of that and pray I'm counting right. Emailed her twice, she wont respond with my current attendence.

Military science, no clue, skipped some classes, bombed the mid-term I think. Going to actually study for the final. I just wana pass this class and move on.

Okay organized now to work. I'm stressed now but that's how it goes, stress motivates me, I'm a procrastinator who likes to skirt the edge. Actual is easier than high school but harder in that aspect. You don't really know exactly where you are so can't properly caculate how much you can screw off.

I think yer a good kid, LN, and I think you'll be fine. NOW GET yer ass to class. Don't make me come up there!

[LiberalNation]

Yeah I skipped biology today. Maybe I subconcially want to fail. Made up for it to my self by going to the suplemental study class for the course. Attendence doesn't count in that class, only the tests, so if I manage another A I will feel good about it all again.

Plan on staying up all night/morning, it's 2:30am now, one class is at 9 tomorrow. I'll sleep afterwards.

[Abbey Marie]

First year can be a tough adjustment. Hang in there, LN.

[Sitarro]

I don't know, most universities are like this tho. Difficult, bad admin, no customer service for what you're paying them.

You do realize the type of people who are responsible for the way the University is run don't you? Everything about college that you dislike is the way it is because of liberals. They have an overwhelming presence on campus, from faculty to administration and run the University the same way they would like to force American businesses to run........ not a good thing. Pay attention and see who is being spoken about across your campus, who gets the negative comments, who gets the positive comments.

It's not conservatives that are forcing you to pay for plain rice to eat.

At least get some mace but better yet would be a taser. Get your dad to help you out with that. You do realize that those robbers are Obammmmma supporters don't you? They would never vote for a law and order guy like McCain.

http://www.securityprousa.com/newtac2preor.html

[LiberalNation]

They prolly don't vote at all. I was thinken about mace for the keychain since I'll have night classes next semester.

I think I'll do a lot better even tho the classes will be harder. Sit up my schedule a lot better.

[LiberalNation]

:yawn, so tired. Feel like I could sleep for days if I let myself. Been like this since last saturday and spent most of the weekend in bed. Have to drive home in rush hour traffic after math class around 6:45 today.

[LiberalNation]

I keep turning my alarm off in my sleep. Going to have to move it further away from me so I have to actually get up. Was late for english but made it. Biology test 3 tomorrow.

Grades are looking up, I found out I have an 88 in math which is a high B and could turn into an A if I do well on the last few tests and quizes. All in all it looks like I'll get all high Bs to As this semester.

Register for next semester classes today. My spring 09 schedule is.

CHEM 105 - CHEM FOR HEALTH PROFESSN & LAB- 4 credit class

ENGL 102 - INTERMED COLL WRITNG- 3 credit class

HIST 101 - HIST-CIVILIZATIONS I- 3 credit class

MT 80 - INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA- 4 credit remdiel class they forced me to take

SOC 202 - SOCIAL PROBLEMS- 3 credit class

I was hoping for race studies instead of social problems to fill my cultural divirsity requirment but that class didn't have the right time. In total taking 17 hours, 18 is the max allowed for undergrads so I definintly going to have a full load.

[LiberalNation]

Dammit, got an 88 on my biology test. Had really hope for a 90, missed it by one missed question. This means I'll have to get atleast get a 96 on the next one to get my goal of an A for the class. Don't know how possible that is but I plan to make every class, every si session, and study my ass off to try.

[LiberalNation]

well not that high now. The curve is lower than I expected, I just need another 88 to 90 to average out to a 90 which will be an A.

This last friday I went to the humane society and picked out a new cat. I get to pick her up this friday. She needs a good bath and some fattening up but looks like a good cat. Lets you hold her and purs. Can't wait had to wait so long because they have to spay her. Some rescued cats can be screwed up so fingers crossed.

Good for you, LN. Only the best people adopt shelter cats.

[LiberalNation]

Yeah and don't know about the best tho. Some people can't afford $50 bucks for a cat they could easily get for free. If I find an apartment that allows pets next year when this lease is up I'll get 2 more to live with me. My mom is keeping this one and the other cat we have.

No new rants yet today except I'm bored and can't wait for this week to end.

[LiberalNation]

Just got a call saying the cat is ready to be picked up. She was supposed to be spayed yesterday but turns out she already was and didn't need to have the surgery. So no recovery time = I can go get her now. Perfect reason to skip out of math class tonight tho I'm sure I'll catch hell for it from my mother when she gets home. Doesn't matter, the math is a remedial that doesn't count towards anything even your gpa, you just need a 75 to pass it to move on. I have an A right now.

[LiberalNation]

So cats home, she is really loving but scared and skittish. Any loud niose send her running. She Has spent most the time hiding but if you sit by her hiding spot she'll come out and sit in your lap. She watching tv with my mom now getting brushed, took her upstairs. Smells, needs a good bath but didn't want freak her out till she settled in here. There were a lot of cuter cats there but I liked this ones calm and the fact she would let you hold her.

I don't know, I actually got a D in the one spanish class I took. I'm suprised I'm getting good grades considering my papers come back marked up but still with 89%.


Only one more english class to go, engl 102 and I'm thru. Think I'll just scrape by. You don't need good grammar to be a nurse, most of what you write out is in medical abrevations and acronyms.

[LiberalNation]

So locked myself out of my apartment on accident. Went to take out the trash, thought my keys were in my pocket, turns out they weren't. So now I'm stuck, no one availble to let me in. Walked in the cold to the library. This is really gona mess up my day, I need to go to the store but can't without my car keys.

[LiberalNation]

finally got in, lucky me. Cousin came home from work for lunch, he normally doesn't.

[LiberalNation]

freezing my ass off walking to class now and in the apartment. Landlady only has one thermostat for the whole building and it's in her place. She keeps it on like 60 and it's even colder up here. On the one hand it's free on the other that's wayyy to cold. Gona get an electric heater I guess. I can't take this all winter.

Only got to see the new cat this weekend but she's exactly what I wanted. A lap cat that likes to be loved on. The white one is friendly but she'll walk away if you pet and wont sit with you. Wild too, well not so much anymore since we let her outside everyday to hunt.

[LiberalNation]

Only 6 more english classes for this semester and one more paper to write which I'll finish tonight. Topic way gay marriage should be legal nationwide. I figured it would be easy to write because I can just copy a lot of stuff I've written before on these type boards. Planning a B in that class for final grade.

Only 2 more biology lectures and one exam left for the semester. I'm confident I will get an A in there.

Math remedial, one more test, one more quiz, final exam, and about 9 more classes. This doesn't count toward your gpa or anything, you juts need a 75 to pass it which I'm confident I will get unless I completly blow that last test or final.

Can't wait for thanksgiving break next wen, thur, fri, then christmas break, my birthday, christmas, then start of a new semester with some classes I will actually enjoy taking. If only it wasn't so cold......

[LiberalNation]

Okay some grammar help.

Things are beginning to change however.

Is the above sentence a fragment. Word isn't highlighting it but word gets things wrong and I'm thinkin it is.

Happy turkey day. Got ews that a great aunt died a few hours ago. Sucks cuz that means a funeral and we'll have to stay down at the relatives an extra two days because they want my dad to be a pall bearer. Wanted to come home friday.

hope you had fun.

I've only shopped on this day one other year and that was when the Wii first came out.

I had to have my son at an early wrestling practice and decided to run into Wal-mart. I actually found some good prices and everyone was calm and polite. The workers looked a little stressed, I felt sorry for them.

Two of my kids left dinner party last evening at 10pm, to wait in line at Aurora Outlet Mall. This morning my son told me he got a $150 sweater for $15. I'm guessing the Ann Taylor outlet. ;) The mall opened at midnight. He said people were making coffee/hot chocolate runs, saving places and basically having a good time. I know he bought himself a pair of Tommy Hilfiger jeans for under $30. It seems the bargains were good, but the stores are outlets for higher end stores, does that make a difference?

Walmarts seem to have a problem with their early bird specials, that they have yet to turn to armed guards rather than clerks is wrong on so many levels.

Well I've not shopped a 'Black Friday' since the 1970's, but heck I used to work them too. There was a time-jr. high and high school, that my best friend and I would get on the Northwestern train and head for the city. State Street was festooned with beautiful windows and we'd have lunch under the tree at Marshall Field's, waiting in line for up to three hours. But that was then, we had the time and the ambiance was great.

Today, Macy's is not MF & Co. There is no Carson's, nor any tenant in that beautiful Louis Sullivan building. Even if there was, I haven't the desire to spend those kind of $$'s. Now kids, yeah they can. They have the time and disposable income, even in 'hard times.'

I agree, my mother in law goes every year with her sisters and they love it.

Personally the pushing, shoving and general rudeness that seems to go along with it clashes with the reason for the season IMHO.

On that note here are some pictures of the wal-mart accident. That crowd is huge, and is jam packed together. If I remember right there were a couple of deaths last year because of unruly crowds. People are just animals sometimes.

I agree. It's one thing for a sibling to abuse an inanimate object, (brother I've never forgotten what you did to my Barbie wardrobe case. I'm glad I wrecked your Slinky), and taking their temper out on a live creature.

You said he threw the poor thing as hard as he could at the concrete.
Unless he is mentally retarded, he knew what he was doing would hurt the cat, and in fact could easily have killed it.

I also find it disturbing that you now defend him.

[LiberalNation]

I may have exaggerated in my anger. He's big for a 15 yo and would have killed it had he thrown it as hard as he could.

He was just being stupid, playing around and assuming if he saw how far he could throw it outside into the air it would land on it's feet with no injury. Outside happened to be the concrete porch.

Great advice Kath, and manu too. How sad that this kind of behavior is considered acceptable, and will apparently have zero repercussions.

LN, I tell you as straight up as possible, if I could, I would report your brother for animal cruelty, and be sure the animal cops took that cat away. Your suggestion that "not everyone sees animals the same" is a poor attempt at jusitification. I don't care how any people "see it", it is what it is. Has your entire family no compassion for the weak and defenseless?

I doubt we'll see her post herein, but you are correct. I'm very glad I didn't ignore my 3 year old pouring alcohol onto a gerbil, that my daughter had brought home from kindergarten to care for over Christmas holidays.

He was 3, not 15, but there were other warnings of problems. He did such, then came crying to me that the gerbil was not moving. I grabbed the poor thing and doused it under water, then blew into its mouth, to no avail. We buried it in the yard, wrote a farewell.

I called a pediatric psychologist the same day. He was in therapy until 14, today is doing wonderfully. Did I mention there was a time he started a shoplifting ring?

[LiberalNation]

one, animal crualty would do nothing as the cat is not injured. Two, he could have murdered the cat and I wouldn't bring the law into what is a family matter.

Animal cruelty is considered one of the diagnostic criteria of conduct disorder by the American Psychiatric Association. According to FBI Supervisory Special Allen Brantley, “Animal cruelty...is not harmless venting of emotion in a healthy individual; this is a warning sign…” Analysis from the FBI over the past 25+ years has suggested most serial killers start off by killing or torturing animals as children, but serial killers are not the only ones abusing animals. Many times the same reasons people abuse animals are the same reasons they abuse humans: “to find power, joy or fulfillment through the torture of a victim they know cannot defend itself.”

Thanks for that, K...just the thing I was going to post.

do you believe that torturing an animal is the same as using a mouse trap to rid your home of mice? do you believe that torturing a cat is the same as using raid to rid your home of bugs?

why do people protect abusers? I know, I know, you don't want them to get in trouble, so you justify their behavior.

Personally, unless your life is threatened, I'm of the opinion that it is all the same. I don't kill bugs, nor do I use mouse traps that that kill mice. I don't eat meat either.

Better check the regulations first..from what I read on the state DNR site the season ain't open. The site does lack a lot though..

Other than that, if he kills a coon tonight will it be Sunday dinner or just a killing?

I support hunting IF the animal will be consumed. It's quit different than killing weak and defenseless domestic animals just for fun.

WHo eats raccoon, he's killing it for the pelt. I didn't know raccoon had a season hafta talk to him about that before I drive him down there.

No. Taking a domesticated animal into your home as a pet, getting it to trust you, and then so treating it so cruelly that you could have easily killed it, is not the same as hunting. Not that I like hunting either, but there is a difference. At least to people with a conscience there is. This is starting to sound almost sociopathic.

[LiberalNation]

So the hunting trip in the middle of the night was fun. Didn't see a single coon, too bright but the moon was beutiful, lots of shimering ice crystals everywhere, and we saw two otters in the creek. Brother wanted to shoot the one on shore, said they were worth a lot of money. Told him unless he planned on swimming when he just wounded it and it ran into the water he better not and I won. Looked like a big water rat but I didn't want to see him kill the thing. Not a very good person to hunt with.

So anyway, two hours later we walk back to the truck and it wont start. Battery died, apparently my dad knew it was going so I didn't get blamed for it tho I think I may have left the inside truck lights ons. He had to come pick us up.

No ones torturing pets.

No one eats the bones or hide or blood (normally) or organs and that makes up a good precent of the animal, and no one eats the bad areas of meat like the head. I'd say that covers more than 50% of the animal.

God I hate exercising even if it doe make you feel better in the long run.

I realize I hated it so much doing the rotc class. Decided on an easier path to get my college paid for. Unfortunately it still involves the army, they have a nurse program that will pay for all your schooling, $1000 live off money per semester, $10,000 cash bonus and a commission upon graduation into the nurse corps but with no classes or evil pt while you’re still in school and ya only hafta serve active duty as a nurse the years they paid for (2) instead of 4 years.

Why not a MAC?

cuz I just like messing around with crappy windows vista. I'm happy enough tho, never had a mac before. This was on sale, a good deal.

That's fine, just kidding around, Windows works fine for those that have never used a MAC.

You look good in camo, you should feel very proud to wear them. I know that when I see anyone in those, walking around the airport, my opinion of them instantly soars.:salute:

An Army nurse is a very big deal, very important position. You could learn a huge amount in a very short time.:salute:

Just found out my roommate cousin is lyin to the family about grades (got on his computer account because he asked me to print out his schedule)

Said he passed history with a D but instead withdrew. Only took four classes W, D, B-, B as a junior and has much harder basic classes this semster, engl 102 and biology. Stupid boy, it doesn't matter to me but he isn't going to finish in a year an a half like he plans doing that. If he couldn't pass history it seems immposible he'll pass biology.

I enjoyed all classes and my professor. think I will like all but one. Didn't get to meet the guy (history professor), he was out at a conference, but then is syllabus said you could miss no more than 2 classes yourself before being dropped a letter no excuses, all the while the hypocrit ain't even in class. Hate professors like that but he may turn out to be a fine teacher.

Chemistry for health professionals will be my most difficult class. it's basically two chemistry classes rolled into one semester so a lot of material and fast moving but if i work hard I'm sure I will succede.

they require you to take them to class and you can't checkout the textbooks at the library.

[Yurt]

most of the profs make money off the books or deals for the books...hence why you need the "extra" knowledge...total crap and a total scam, love it when they are the author of said book and the book is required for the class....

what is the british term i love....oh yea....bollocks

[LiberalNation]

yeah the history professor is the author of 3 of the 4 books he required......

scam, the math teacher was cool, said this book is the same as the cheaper other book, they told us they were rewriting it to make itg cheaper but it costs $20 more so in math class you can use the exact same older versian that doesn't come with the cd he wont be using anyway.

what really upset me was when the prof wrote the book, had you order the book as required reading and never once discussed the book, had a few classes like that...

[manu1959]

yea so......

[LiberalNation]

so you ain't seen professor kick people out of class for not having the book have you.

actually i have....and i went and complained to the dean and was allowed to attend class without the book.....two reasons.....no where was it written that i had to bring anything to class and i was paying to be in the class....unless they wanted to pay for the book and pay the fee for me to be there they had no right to dictate the terms of my attendance.....

or you could accuse them of discriminating against you because you are poor and can not afford the book.....and say that you take notes then go to the library and read the passages there.....

[LiberalNation]

wow, that took balls, i don't need the stress, my parents pick up the tab.

I always figured that Profs can set the classroom requirements, and we could either meet them or drop the course. Including bringing books to class.

However, the crying poor route never fails.

anybody ever hold something and tell you to cough?

[jimnyc]

anybody ever hold something and tell you to cough?

Holy crap, that reminds me of a funny story. I was working in NYC at the time and had a lunch time doctors appointment. Off to the Dr. and find out he wants a full physical workup and he'll have his nurse perform all the tests. She was about 45, not hot as hell but no plain jane either. I think it was discussing medical stuff or law, since I was working at a law firm at the time, but her maturity and intelligence made me like her (the boobies didn't hurt the cause). Well, we got to the hold and cough part and I think she enjoyed it too much as it seemed she woke up "little jimmy". The funny thing is that I really wasn't embarrassed and I just kinda laughed. She laughed as well and told me it happens quite often. I was tempted to tell her it felt funny and to check it out some more, but I really did need results and not dragged out by police. I did feel some embarrassment after the fact and never returned to that office again. I figure with my co-pay I paid $10 to get felt up. :beer:

[LiberalNation]

don't try out the free credit report free trial it's nearly impossible to cancle. First they keep ya on hold for thirty minutes, then you hafta listen to their other offers before cancling which I kinda expected would happen when I signed up. Almost easier to cancle the credit card. Anyway my credit score was pretty good, nearly 800.

Mostly I can agree with this, but not today. It's now -16 on my thermometer and the winds are still blowing between 15-20mph. Even having the heat in my car set at 90F didn't warm it up enough to keep my hands from chilling to the bone, with gloves on!

[LiberalNation]

lol unfort only concrete walls and synthetic light where I am most of the time.

finally met the history professor, seems cool. I like all my professor this year, you hear so many professor horror stories but I've only had pretty good ones so I wonder if it is just talk. you just need to be flexible and been to their individual styles of doing things.

Since summer is never going to get here I'm walking on my treadmill. I'd much rather walk outside, but it's to cold and damp.

On the up side I was listening to the classics, Mas Tequila and Bohemian rhapsody so the miles went quicker. I managed to do 3 miles in 30 minutes not to bad. If summer ever gets here at least I'll look ok in my bikini.

[LiberalNation]

I don't mind walking in the cold. I do it anyway, quarter mile to campusand back wth a 40 pound pack on my back.

Frustration. I can still recover the chemistry but Algebra is my main concern now. I am on the cusp of having to drop it or risk a failing grade on my transcripts. I failed the first test, spent all these last two weeks relearning it and then the next test rolled around with me just finishing the last chapter test material. Seems a hopless cause now, I can't recover from two failed tests.

My parents are gona be pissed when they find I wasted $500 on a class I didn't pass. If I had just stayed on my game those first two weeks and hadn't slacked.

[Abbey Marie]

Didn't you take Algebra in HS?

[LiberalNation]

Yes, 3 years of it. My last high school class in it I made a D, barely passed and learned nothing.

I also had a semester of remedial algebra in college last fall which I made a B. I just have a hard time getting it.

Oh I hear you. I got a 36 on my verbal and a 10 on math. My counselor, was like, wtf? Repeat. Scored another 36 and went up to 11 in math. Went to state school my first year, transfered to U of C second. ;)

[LiberalNation]

I may still have a chance in math. I left during the test when my professor left the room because I knew I couldn't do it. Just told him i got sick and now he says to meet him so I can make it up. If when I do this makeup and pass I can still pass. Just need 80s on all the future tests to end with a passing grade. Wish me luck, I am going to spend all monday in math tutoring learning the stuff. Test either tue. or later.
