The Mighty Boosh is just not funny.
Half my family left my life this month, and I don't even care. I have more important things to worry about, like the three hundred assignments that are due this week. I'm attempting to put up some kind of anti-fail barrier, so that college won't be allowed to ruin my life. The barrier is weakening.
First there was the field experience. 10 hours in one month is not unreasonable, especially when the 10 hours can be from only 5 different places. What is unreasonable is the fact that my professor did not tell me (the only person in the class who needs field experience) what this clusterpluck entailed. That put me a week behind while I harassed her, the school, and random people on the street for more information.
Another thing I find unreasonable is a certain school district that promised me observation hours, had me pay 40 dollars for a fingerprint scan, and then ignored all my subsequent phone calls. I entertained notions that I had magically committed a felony one night in my sleep and my mugshot had shown up. However, several other schools took my prints and background check with no problems.
Hey, how's this for unreasonable? My English class has nine required books. We did not know about said book requirement until the day before the class began. Days into the syllabus, I realized that several of the required texts had only one chapter of required reading in them. Amazon wouldn't take a return. Welp.
I am out of soft peaches and will now be forced to find something to do with the hard ones. Drat.
