Anything Good Happen Today?

[Sleepy]

Good for you, askold.

I'm rather content because I just filled out a scholarship application that my bank is offering. Apparently they receive very few applications each year, so I think I'm in a fairly good position to get it.

Picked up my first BTBAM albums today. Didn't like them until I opened for 'em last August, but now they're amazing.

I <3 prog metal.

More like funny and ironic, but I still thought I'd post it.

Today at work we made pizza for our bakery.  Since it's Good Friday, we made Vegetable Pizza (with mushrooms, olives, peppers, etc.) for the devout believers in our crew (95% of the bakery) and MEAT Piize for us evil heathens (pepperoni, sausage, bacon, LOTS of sauce).  Despite, as I said, 95% of our bakery being pretty devout, and despite it being Good Friday, the Veggie Pizza was barely touched while the Carnivore one got annihilated pretty fast!

I finally got to meet my cousin and see my uncle who lives in California.

Finally decided to pick up for one of those scam calls I kept getting from 661.

Indian Man: Hello, may I speak to ______ please?

Me: Yes you may.

Indian Man: Well, my name is--

Me: APRIL FOOL's!

*hangs up*

In Italian!

Wrote a song in Fmin today. Didn't use an open string once. Still sounds heavy and melodic.

As a metalhead, this feels like quite an accomplishment.

I finally finished my Star Wars fanfiction story (my version of Ep VII).  It's the longest story I've every written, 22 chapters, plus prologue and epilogue.  I just need to finish the proofreading now.

So this quarter, I knew that I would only have to go to school two days a week - Tuesday and Thursday.

Then yesterday, my instructor for Game Design decides that, with only 6 students in the class, we only need to meet once a week. As everyone in my class has identical schedules (we're all Digital Media Arts majors in our final quarter), we voted to meet on Tuesdays, when we also have our one other class.

So this quarter, I only need to show up on campus ONE DAY A WEEK!

Mind you, I also need to get an internship, which is expected to fill up the other four days. But still...

Man, I envy you. A couple semesters ago, I was thrilled to have Fridays off. Class one or two days a week would be a luxury.

FUCK YEAH!!! I finally got my tax refund.

cool, can't wait to finish reading it, plus that reminds me that I need to work on my three.

I had 4 days a week back when I was in school. Most of the days were fine, but there was one semester where I had a night English class on Mondays. The problem I had wasn't the relatively small number of classes, but the sheer amount of homework I got deluged with. The first day of Intermediate Algebra (basically the "starter" course for new students) involved less than 30 minutes of discussion on a very complex new sequence that hadn't been covered in high school, followed by dozens of long and complex problems and a book that was horrible at actually explaining how to solve them. That was one class.

One of the biggest reasons I decided to quit school in favor of work after only one year was that I wanted to be able to focus entirely on my job and social life, rather than classes completely unrelated to my career path that took up even more time than the ones for my major.

My non-major classes were pretty simple, for the most part. The worst one involved writing a 12-page paper, but I still enjoyed the class itself. Now that I'm taking nothing but classes for my major, at least some of the homework is fun.

In math classes, I honestly never did the homework. Very few professors will waste their time grading such a thing, and they just recommend you do it so you don't flunk the tests.

Beware this advice if you're in a tech school.

My math professors not only graded the homework, they'd take individual points off for each issue in your answer. I once had one problem cost me half the grade on a homework with 10 problems. I'd gotten a formula wrong in the second stage and managed to work it out to completion anyway. Could have just been the fact he was department head though. Freaking evil from my point of view.

That's quite shitty of them. Homework is meant for learning, and students are going to make mistakes which they'll later ask the professor about. It's how the learning process works. If they honestly expect everyone to master the material overnight and convey that perfectly through a crapload of textbook problems, then they're living in a dream world.
