Death By Homework

[Jedi Master Sar Sha]

Okay, the school year is in motion and the battle against homework is on. My greatest opponent currently is my college chemistry class. Monday my teacher told us he was sending us homework to our on-line accounts and that it would be due this up coming Sunday. The general idea was that we would be given a packet to complete throughout the week and be happy come the weekend.

I arrive home and tell my computer to print off my homework and go through the process of relaxing after a long day. I'm shocked, however, when the computer prints off 36 pages of chemistry critical thinking problems, equations, and conversions problems!

So needless to say, if I'm not on until the insane hours of the night, it is not because I don't want to hang out with this awesome community, but rather that I have been sucked into the twisted and cruel realm of copious amounts of homework.

o.O 36 pages? That's madness.

School cuts down in the internet time for us all. I don't have too much homework yet, although I again have the awesome Shakespeare professor whose awesomeness does not extend to the fact that we have to read each play in like two days.

I also have a job as of next Wednesday (!).

[anaraskywalker]

As if 36 pages isn't bad enough, its chemistry!! That's terrible!

'grats on the job, Cy! What are you doing?

I'm definitely not going to be around so much (as you've already seen). I have a lot of music theory homework already, and I actually will have to do some stuff for aural skills. I have a lot of piano stuff to practice, too. And band. Oh my goodness. I'm the first chair (of two, don't get excited ;D) and the kid I'm with doesn't read bass clef. That's what we read. So yeah. And the music is insanely hard!

[Cy Skywalker]

Selling cheese! XD Fancy cheese.

How many of us are band geeks, I wonder? (Hehe, I have been a first chair of one before. It's exciting, blast it.) You play baritone on base clef, right? I used treble. XD

Indeed! And I'm not even in Sparta!

By the way, I'll take some cheese please. I need something to accompany my fine whine.

I've been lucky with homework so far, but such is the luxury of 14 credits. Tonight I have quite a bit to do though. I have a nice little list by my computer here. It hasn't been unbearable though, which I am very very thankful for. This semester is already going by quickly! I can't believe we are just about down with week two!

My room mates have had homework galore and I feel guilty sometimes because I'll watch TV or what not. Last semester I was going crazy, so this semester is definitely a nice change. I also work part time and I'm doing a bacteria DNA research project. It's fun stuff LOL

I hate Chemistry. BLAARRRGH!!!

You need a rescue crew Sar Sha! Don't worry, we'll send one pronto!

I hate english...as much as I like writing, 50 pages daily is insane.

Thanks for the rescue crew Nighthawk.

The snowstorm that is over us right now is dropping a ton of snow, so there is now school or work today! My sanity is saved!

50 pages a day?! Why so many? A huge pile of homework does not = good education. An understanding and explanation of the material is what works.

[nighthawk]

As part of the course, I have to write a 500+ page book, so if I do 50 pages a day, it'll take me a week and a half to meet the minimum. So I guess you could say it's forced homework

[SilverSergyon13]

A 500 page book?!!!! Holy cow! And I thought I had it bad last year having to write four ten page papers!

[Jedi Master Sar Sha]

LOL! This reminds me of a bumper sticker I liked. It read, "I don't hate education. I hate the system."

I love learning new things and being about the talk about those topics with others. Its the way its presented/tested that I don't much care for.

[Cy Skywalker]

Nighthawk, are you in a creative writing program then? XD I'm angsting enough about having to do a handful of 3000+ word stories for Advanced Fiction and some (non-terrible) poetry for my other writing class. I wish I could say I thought it would be easy, but for someone who calls themself a writer I have the hardest time coming up with plot and character--words I've got.

[anaraskywalker]

School is crazy!

500+ pages...wow, that is so much. You'll do great though

[Gabriel]

college is ridiculous right now @.@

-falls over babble and drool-
my roommates are murder. blech.

-thumbsupgrin-

[Cy Skywalker]

Eh, irritating roommates? That's annoying. What do they do that irks you?

Luckily I room with a friend who I can reveal all her secrets if she irritates me enjoy living with.

Schoolwork is accelerating; we'll see how it cuts into Internet time. ^^;

LOL! They start off slow to lure you into a false sense of security and then they blast off at lightspeed!

[Cy Skywalker]

well Cy. when we first moved in Gina, became obsessed with me,
-she would always come in my room and lay on my bed reading a book while i was talking on the phone with my boyfriend.
-she dyed her hair my exact hair color (bright red) and bought glasses that look similar to mine. as well as bought clothes that i had.
-she would dance in front of my door when it would be open to get my attention,
-whenever i had my friends over she would immediately come out of her room and tell them her life's story and never let them get a word in edge wise.

afterwards when i got annoyed of it and told her to hump a doorknob, she became a walking contradiction. now! she this is what shes become:

-laid back bohemian, ghettobootylicious (by that i mean, "like omgz, my booty is the biggest and best thing on the planet) reggaton puerto rican loving, goth/vampire worshipper who thinks she the hottest thing on the planet. OH! and i forgot to mention how she's a spoiled little rich girl because her parents own a winery and she says that she had a rough life and would have nothing to eat when she was younger "because mommy and daddy would be in the winery 24/7"

and now as of 3 days ago, shes going full blown goth she dyed her hair black, (which it looks like garbage) painting her nails black wearing a tight choker etc.

you will find that i complain about gina alot because as you can see she is just that annoying.

my other two roommates, (there are 4 of us total in an apartment dorm) i am fine with.

natasha is a fellow star wars/anime lover shes a nice girl my only problem with her is she doesnt shower. except for 2 days a week. its gross but shes hardly ever there so its ok.

and ashely is fine shes a quiet girl shes more on the preppy sporty side but shes cool.

[anaraskywalker]

Cy- ;D Too funny!

Gabbz-I can't believe how crazy they are! Still!

[nighthawk]

Yesh Cy, i'm in a Advanced Creative writing program. A 500+ book isn't so bad though. Next year i'm going to have several of those books to make. Heck, maybe i'll even publish them and make loads of money

And if you were wondering, i'm not in college, i'm in high-school. Yeah I know, all my courses are crazy like that. Pretty heady stuff.
