Oof, I swear, college gets busier every day. I think I finally have a handle on things, and then I turn around, and there's another huge pile of things to be done. It never ends.
I just bought $75 worth of paper for my silkscreening class. Geez. Still, I am really, really excited about this class. I can't wait for it to start in November! It's a one-time workshop that's never going to be offered again. Our Muscarelle museum is getting in a bunch of Andy Warhol silkscreens, so we're basing a short class around it. We'll look at his work, then silkscreen, essentially for an entire weekend straight. Whoo! I had to step on so many people to get into this class, but it was so worth it.
Also, my physics lab TA and my lab partner are complete idiots. My lab partner just decided to come 35 minutes late to lab last night. And then he has to take the lab quiz, turn in his lab report, and pick up last week's. By the time he got back to our station, there were five minutes left in the experiment - but he still got all of the data. Totally unfair. And normally I'm kind of a doormat on this kind of thing, but I've been getting progressively more annoyed at this kind of behavior. So I emailed the TA and let her know what happened. >> I feel kind of guilty, but not really. He shouldn't be able to get all of the credit when he did no work, but just showed up and took the work I did.
On that note, a handful of quotes on humanity. I like posting quotes in my LJ.
Man - a being in search of meaning. ~Plato
Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is. ~Albert Camus
I hate mankind, for I think myself one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am. ~Joseph Baretti, quoted by James Boswell, 1766
God doesn't measure His bounty, but oh how we do! ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic's Notebook, 1966
Why was man created on the last day? So that he can be told, when pride possesses him: God created the gnat before thee. ~The Talmud
We have no choice but to be guilty.
God is unthinkable if we are innocent.
~Archibald MacLeish, JB, 1958
The study of crime begins with the knowledge of oneself. ~Henry Miller, The Air-Conditioned Nightmare, 1945
Give a man secure possession of a bleak rock, and he will turn it into a garden; give him nine years' lease of a garden, and he will convert it into a desert. ~Arthur Young, Travels in France, 1792
Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps; for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are and what they ought to be. ~William Hazlitt, The English Comic Writers, 1819
As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities. ~Voltaire
Nobody knows the age of the human race, but everybody agrees that it is old enough to know better. ~Author Unknown
