(no subject)
i had a weird dream last night. my climatology professor and the TA were discussing my grade for the quarter in the same room as me, their backs turned to me. they didn't know i was right there and while deciding whether or not i should pass the class, one said "she seems a little dumb" in reference to me.
i already had my climatology final. it was a little bit of a surprise that i had it on friday. for one, the syllabus had a completely different time and date during finals week for the final. i only found out wednesday when i was turning in an assignment because i had skipped class and ran into the TA. he asked me "you do know the final's on friday, right?" i faked and said yeah....as in yeaaaaaah i had no clue. apparently in one of the classes i skipped (which was about 40% of all classes total, heh), the prof announced that the final was on a different day. i guess it's my fault i wasn't aware of the final being on friday, but really, i don't think the final should be something that you just *change* a couple of weeks ahead. there are people like me who skip class constantly who still would like to pass! hahaha that sounds really ridiculous. i don't think i did too shabby on the final though. especially for 2 days notice.
i have a real class skipping problem. it started when i went to almost every class as a freshman and did all my work but still ended up achieving an E in a certain class. so ever since then, i have given up on trying to attend class like i should because i believe i'll just fail anyway.
i don't have finals until thursday. in the other two classes, my progress isn't as discouraging. i'm so happy about the absence of SPSS from the rest of my life. i shouldn't make such an absolute statement like that because i would not be surprised if i did encounter SPSS in my life again. doesn't matter. fuck you SPSS. i hope i get at least $20 from your terrible text book.
i think my mom's going to buy me a racquetball racquet for xmas. i have not asked for anything but the racquet and a video game, but she said she wasn't goign to buy the game. i think my mom's trying to make me grow up or something. for some reason, though, video games do not seem like they are road blocks to maturity. now, using them for escapism may inhibit maturity (heh heh) and i know i've indulged in this quite a bit in the past. but as steve on american dad said a couple of weeks ago, the problem with the real world is often times things suck. anyway i don't play at the same frequency i used to. quite a bit less. probably because i do not buy new games. it's a good way to ween yourself off of being sucked in video games all. i played out the other ones i have so i just don't play as much.
i do like old school games though. i should buy a controller for my pc so i can effectively play old video games. or i could do it the honest way and buy an old system and old games. but i think we both know which i'll choose.
anyway, i should join the racquetball club winter quarter. i need to become a racquetball machine. maybe i could retake the racquetball class and dominate everyone in it...that sounds hot. i would feel weird taking it again though, b/c i already took the class and got an a. i even won the female class championship. even though there were only TWO OTHER GIRLS. the instructor in that class would only let the 3 girls play each other. i only played one guy, once. i guess the instructor didn't want the emasculation sensation, becky "crawldaddy" frieson, taking all the guys' manly pride, or something. i dunno, this is purely speculation. but i know i could have kept up with plenty of those guys.
