Oh hell yeah! And what's best is that even though I haven't been doing shit for all my classes, I still have an A in two of them and an A+ in my finite mathematics... I love community colleges. Although I really do need to start working on my take home class one of these day soon.

3 midterms this week. i've hardly studied so far. I've done well so far, but if i don't this week all that won't matter. Its funny how college works. screw up one paper or exam and tons of hard work will be for nothing.

yeah, my housemate and i were talking about this. back in the days, you could screw around and still manage to get into grad school. for example, my friend's dad nearly flunked out of u.c. berkeley, but was still able to get into law school, and now has his own law firm. nowadays, you screw up on one test, and it's basically over.

Nash - your professor is probably right to be angry. No matter what the school, most students can't write worth a damn. Most kids today, I think, are taught that it's more important to write creatively than it is to write well, a policy that ends up creating huge swarms of terrible writers (who probably enjoy writing their own poetry).

Another part of that is that high school isn't nearly as hard as it should be. The differences from HS to college is fucking phenomenal, at least from my HS it was.

The scary thing is the film class I'm taking. We're only graded on the Midterm, one paper and the final... so if I screw one of them up and screwed. Suffice to say I was a bit nervous going into the midterm last week... fortunately I did well so it's all good.

Word to the wise:

I screwed up one semester during my college days because I skipped class every day for 2 weeks playing Suikoden. Don't let a game do that to you. Academic Probation is a bitch to get over

hah, so far college is EASIER than highschool ever was, and I'm taking a engeenering class load to boot. Ofcourse I came from a highschool that wanted to be the best in the state so it's not that big a suprise to me. Go from 7 strait classes to like 3 a day, with a hour break between two of them. Talk about something being sweet.
