so it finally hits.... Stanford's quater system can bite anyone in the ass. My roomate and I are having the time of our lives here, and we have gotten some work done, but tonite - was breakdown night. There is A LOT of stuff we need to do, and of course, havent done. For me its not so much doing stuff - its the fact that I DONT GET MY MATH HW - that's killing me. Like - it's a bitch- i had time to do it, i sat down to do it, i went to get help to do it, and its still not done? wtf more can i do? So im gettin a tutor - and if it means that i have to fail this P-set and wait for the next one to reedem myself, thats wat it means. I dunno - every1 warns u that coming to a place like this will change your view on things, and i definately didnt expect to be the best student here - but its a shock when it actually sets in that you need to ask for help. It's not that im being conceited n saying that i dont need help, or that I shouldnt need help its just...its so hard - its overwhelming. I probbly should have taken a lower level math class, considering the fact that i didnt take BC calc..... but i dont even know why im rambling about these details, you guys prob dont care that much.....
**side note: all the analyzing and annotations we did in english are helping me so much....IB creates good bullshitting skills for college humanities classes -> thank god, so now i only stress over my techy classes**
so life is good again. my roomate and I are like one person. we get along amazingly well, we do the same silly crazy things, we like to talk A LOT...and well, i guess our moods kinda depend upon each other (which prob comes from the fact that we live together, but w/e)...We actually were both so stressed out that we took a walk, screamed a little bit, and planned out our night so that we could be productive and "Fuck the dumb shit"...
we realize that a lot of stanford students make so much more work for themselves than they already have - aka exess work = the dumb shit...so our new favorite phrase is "Fuck the dumb shit" -> and of course if ur hw is kicking ur ass....u say "the dumb shit is fucking me (add ephasis if needed, i.e. 'hard')"
...so i guess i just needed to do some ranting and raving on here to relieve myself of the "guilt" that i have for not having successfully finished a problem set in college - its weird, n scary, and i'll prob still fight it and try to finish before 4 pm 2morro, but we'll c how it goes.
i love you all and i hope life is treating u great
