TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

GODDAMMIT the chemistry OWLs were due on the 10th and he changed them to the 8th. That DICK.

He KNOWS that most of the class has a bio final on the 9th, and the chem final isn't until the 12th. The only reason he could have had for doing that was because he's a malicious prick.

I tried an Android app course through Coursura, which was through he U.of Illinois.

Garbage.

However the Intro to Prog on Udacity is pretty awesome.

I had a professor do something similar, which is why I'm skipping my earlier class today to finish work for the night class. Seriously, we don't have enough shit on our plate during finals, but they need to make it convenient for THEM to not have to come in next week.

Several other students have commented that he gives the strong impression that he doesn't want to be there and hates us.

I'm pretty sure that's true.

What's somewhat more awful is that OWLs are online chemistry questions which are automatically graded. It doesn't even impact his convenience, he still has to come in and lecture on Tuesday. Which, I guarantee, he won't actually do... he'll come in and give us some handouts to work on during class time, while condescendingly doing as little as possible to answer any questions students bring to him.

Let me guess, it's a Pearson Ed Online *whatever* Lab?

That reminds me, I need to send back my poli sci book to the rental company I got it from.

Cengage, but yeah, same basic idea. It's not lab, but online homework problems.

I actually suspect he's doing it to try to catch a few more borderline-passes out so he can flunk them. There are probably a bunch of people who aren't even going to look at it until Monday after the bio final.

Guh, just home from class + study session with lab buddy. We went and hung out in our lab instructor's office for 45 minutes and  worked on homework and did problems and stuff.

Lab instructor expressed shock at our midterm grade. She was like "WHAT IS THIS HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE you are both A students!"

But anyway, I don't think we can possibly even get below a B because of our homework and lab scores, but I'm still determined as fuck to get an A on the final. It's just got to happen.

Have you had your bio final yet? How are you feeling about it?

So apparently they mail me my diploma in February. So much for instant gratification. :sadbanana:

Oh, I don't know if I've mentioned this yet, but I will have my decision for graduate admissions in January. You know, 2 weeks before classes begin. I was flabbergasted to hear that, but it's the same for both graduate and undergraduate spring admissions. I thought rolling admission meant I didn't HAVE to wait, but apparently, URI is special. Very special.

The thing that's funny about that is that, at least at PSU, two weeks before the start of the term = no way are you getting into any classes. ANY.
