School

Well hello there!

Today, I feel like complaining about school. It has been hard the past few weeks, and I have been dropping the ball lately so, I hope this will help.

So, I am in my senior year of college, and as such, I am gonna graduate within a year or two, depending on how many classes I can get. The problem is, the way things are going, I will fail the classes I am taking right now, which will be a horrible thing to happen. I so far have bombed the first tests of two of my classes, and have bombed the first lab reports of my two labs.

I am not familiar with the way these professors like to teach, or make their tests, so that could be one of the problems, although I doubt it could cause that much of a problem. So far, I have received one grade back, which was a horrid 11%... which makes me cringe. I currently hate the teacher, since I could have dropped the class if he had given the test two days earlier; the dead line for dropping a class without a penalty was the day before the test. The teacher also loves to hit tangents, and I cannot for the life on me focus on all he says. I drift off, and start surfing the web.

The one thing I am gonna try and combat this with is by not using my computer to take notes anymore, and instead write them, which is the way I used to do school. I tend to do better that way anyways, so I might just switch back.

Anyways, I hope this year will turn around. The one class I kinda am looking forward to is a subject that I hate... American Government. I got a 76% on the first test, which was actually kind of surprising, since I am inherently bad at government themed classes.

On another note, I have run across an awesome comic on the internet called VgCats.com. It has alot of parodies on different games and is overall a hilarious treat. The style is interesting. Another I ran across is the comic called MsPaintAdventures.com This is a hilarious little comic that takes a world the artist has designed with a loose plot that is going on. It is loosely based on a text adventure game, although it isn't. He takes a different fan inputted "commands" and advances the story that way. There are small tangents that form this way that he will incorporate into the story.

I highly suggest reading these two, especially the problem sleuth comic on the mspaint adventure website.
