i'm not really taking anything right now. i mean my *goal* is basically just get a job that isn't shitty [and maybe make up the sunk cost of my previous schooling (yes i know what sunk cost is, that's why i sort of made a joke phrasing it like that)]. but i don't really even know, cause it's hard to imagine myself getting a real job ever due to my shitty self esteem, or something.

@**** this is week 1, this has absolutely nothing to do with programming and i have no fucking idea why they were asking it. the question was 'what was a time you had poor work ethic and what could you do to fix that'. there were a few coding questions after this

ah yes, i went back to community college at 29 so i was very rusty at maths math maths in which i'm already not very confident (i've learned to stop saying i'm bad at it as some excuse to not work at it) and got put in remedial classes that didn't even count for anything. we did similar frivolous crap assignments in a lot of my classes, too. i def appreciated the teachers who had higher expectations and didn't waste everyone's time with them.

some other assignments just insulted me. one english teacher has us go home and write 5 "quotation sandwiches" which means just means correctly inserting a quote within a small paragraph. i mean, 4th grade much?

i swear sometimes the impression of community college students is that they have no fucking life skills and maybe that's true for some, but kids in 4-year universities aren't paragons of intelligence and social skills either.

and y0 maybe this is just me, but let's leave high school in high school. 'hence' made me chuckle th0

*technically you can never recover or "make up" a sunk cost

we have to do little discussion posts and write replies and they're insultingly pointless and dumb. like i'm writing the stupidest fucking replies [i am hanging a breaking ball here...]

[yo soy el mejor]

regardless of the path, you said you were taking a course and then that you weren't taking anything so i was all like

discussion posts and replies for online courses are just in lieu of in-class participation. they're dumb, but what makes them dumber is when people don't put in any effort and then you gotta scroll and scroll or wait until another day to find something worth responding to.

I didn't have too many discussion forums when I was in, but there was one *honors* US history since 1945 (which oddly spent most of its time on WW2) about Japenese internment camps and one person was literally like "It may seem harsh but they were just trying to keep people safe and I don't think it was a mistake."

Say what now?

i've only had them for online courses, but everything is an online course now.
