the funnies about school...

so, i'm in my last semester of school, and although its sad that its coming to an end I have found ways to enjoy the activities that happen in a student body of 15,000 people.

first of all i think its funny (and quite annoying) that some students still seem to be squeaking by even though i know there is no possible way they should be. there is this one guy in my 475 class that i unfortunately had to kick out of a major group project, and still somehow he passes the class after flunking a project that was worth 50% of his grade....how is this possible? he is just sitting there making dumb remarks that don't make sense, and this professor is acting like he just answered a question to something society has been searching for years to find.

ok, so the first situation really isn't funny...its more or less me sharing an annoying fact about one student that has the possibility of graduating before me, which makes me a little angry. what i do however think is funny is the amount of stress professors are trying to put on some students.unlike the case above, many students have received the 'tough talk.' its like teachers are trying to weed us out by stressing us out...this would help the parking situation, i mean, i would be more than happy to not have to walk 3/4 of a mile before i reached the main campus, but come on professors...we're not all weak, and we're definetley not going to fall for all this "this is going to be a tough semester, half of you will not make it through, another 25% will barely scrape by, and the luckly 25% of you that do well had not life to begin with" wtf? as i sit in class and watch students get out their planners and religiously write down every assignment on the syllabis, I think to myself these professors have really done it...these kids are freaking out, i realize what they have really done is take away our lives for a single semester and these kids didn't realize that before they signed up for 15 hours of school...sad for them, i knew my life was over this semester when i took on 15 hours of school, 40 hours of work, and a boyfriend...lol

as a university my school has also taken away the right to use cell phones in class...even though last sememster we were told that we could have them because we are all signed up for a "text warning" subscription, so if anyone decides to bomb, shoot, snow on, attack by tornado, ect we are all aware of the situation. now its all a big surprise when the gun man comes to the door or when we all fall into a pile of ruble from the 4th floor of the psych building...good job teach!

not all things are bad though...i have a professor who told us the first day of class she hates people (she is however extremely charming and welcoming to talk to)...maybe i like her because she laid it out the first day...don't expect me to feel sorry for you when you don't listen to everything i have to say. i think i've already made my point to say that im serious about only passing her class with an A when i was one of 3 students who actually got approved for their senior project...to the other 37 students in class, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR 3 SEMESTERS NOW!!! which is what she so kindly told them as she yelled DO OVER! at each one of them...

the semester however has only just begun...we'll see how the next 13 weeks play out, and if i am as successful as i believe i will be...or if i just end up falling into the holes so many students will put themselves in...
