Professors, Tasers, and Tests

Ok, it's been a while... But after the whopping 1 person who told me she enjoyed reading my blog, I decided to shoot for a 2nd entry. Seems like no big deal, but normally I start shit like this and use it a day and forget about it. So a second post, is almost historic. Hell, it is historic.

Let's get this gay stuff out of the way first I guess. Life has been pretty normal. Conquered the world in risk tonight, had a sandwich...You know, the norm. Thank God that's out of the way...

Now, I've been going to class for the most part. I've been trying my hardest to stay awake during Bob Holland's Macroeconomics lectures, but it's an uphill battle. A battle that I usually try to find a nice big rock to hide behind and sleep during. This complex bugs the hell out of me though. Bob Holland is a great man. You can just tell by listening to him talk that he really cares about our future, and is willing to take the extra step to ensure we succeed in his class. Truly a great professor. Boring as hell. I feel awful sleeping in his class...Maybe some type of laser show would spice things up a bit. Give it a shot Bob.

So. I had a management exam tonight. It really kicked my ass. I studied pretty hard for it too. You know, I didn't go nuts, but I was pretty confident walking through those doors (on the way in at least...) The problem is, the professor (who is from Turkey, coincidence? you decide) didn't prepare us. All I had to study was the practice problems listed in the book. Which was fine, I studied them all and didn't just understand the answers, I actually got the concepts for once! Only when I took the exam, it was all over concepts we had yet to discuss. Take a note from Bob Holland and test your kids over what you lecture about.


So by this point, any self esteem I had built up thinking I was smart studying for management was crushed, I went to my statistics review session. I did this because I truly feel it's dangerous to have your self esteem stay in the 0 or positive range for longer then 2 hours. The kids that were at this review, were smart. Which really pisses me off. The TA is up there doing his stats thing on the chalkboard, and there were these kids in the front row...Every time he'd finish a problem, these kids would raise their hands, or just shout out, multiple other ways that he could have chose to solve the problem. These kids are finding 3, 4, sometimes 5 ways that you can solve these shits and I can't even find one. WHY ARE THEY AT THE REVIEW SESSION!? Just to rub it in kids faces who actually need the review!? To top it all off, they were rewarded with extra credit! Oh, and I learned nothing. And the rich get richer folks....Assholes.

Ok, last thing, I promise. I wanted to bring some current world affairs into the picture, since that's honestly all that has happened to me in the past month that is even worth writing about. And yes, I realize that those things probably aren't worth writing about either.

I want to talk about that kid in Florida that got tased. How badass is that to say? I was thinking a lot about where I stand on this issue, and like most things I'm going to take the sissies way out and say I see both sides of the issue...to an extent. So the bitch chick university cop had a superiority complex. She loves to boss people around and think she's a hardass. Are you surprised? She's a university policewoman, it's pretty much all she's go goin for her. Don't take this away from her. And some dickhead kid pushed some cops to try to run away so he wasn't arrested and got tased? Yeah? He had it coming. I watched the videos. That kid was being a complete douche. I just wish all douches would get tased. Besides, what's he bitching about? It's not like over a million people have seen him crying "bro, don't tase me!" via youtube.com. "WHAT DID I DO WRONG MAN?!" You're a prick, and you got arrested. Justice is served.
