last friday i got to school at 9 AM to find out both my classes that day had been canceled and now i get to school at 9 again and all i have is my 4 PM class this is some BULL SHIT

dean_r_koontz · 11-05-2007, 11:17 AM

i hear you bro. what's on the school menu today? what's cookin?

Crunchy Black · 11-05-2007, 11:20 AM

i have to write a paper on some uninteresting roman art and meet with a writing counselor to have it stamped. she's probably going to tell me the key to good writing is to decide what youre trying to communicate and who you are communicating with.

then i wait around until my late class where i will learn for the 15th time how to calculate pH after assuming all activity coefficients are 1. i hope that is a pretty safe assumption or the last 2 years of my education will be worthless

My 11:00 a.m. class got cancelled! We're like brothers! Posting from a school computer lab rocks.

The hell with that. Jesus is telling you to not go to class at all today.

I missed my first class today, which I rarely do even though it gives me an extra two hours to sleep, and in my second class I was able to copy down all the notes from the one I missed. It was great.
