Final post for real I swear

So I've got a small list of questions to answer. 

Favorite topic: Breaking down a story to pick out subtle themes and messages. As much as I complained about that, that IS a very important skill to have in life. I frequently do that very thing for fun with my favorite books and shows. I, just like most humans, simply do not like being forced to do it.  

Least favorite: The group work. Great griefing hell I hate group work. I usually end up doing the whole thing by myself anyway so why bother with a bunch of other people I need to tazer into gear? I was lucky this time and one other person was productive, but come on educational system. People in college don't have time to meet up and hash these things out. They have jobs, and families. Sometimes two jobs. Plus *other classes* come on board of directors or who ever decides the course curriculum stop doing this to us. 

What did I learn: How to do an I Search paper. I still maintain that I search are the most annoying and aggravating thing. Like, if you have to have my paper explained to you in minute detail for you to understand it it's a pretty bad paper. The fact that the paper got wrote at ALL should be proof research was done. All sources are cited in the bibliography. I Search are just redundant. 

What do I wish I had learned: Having not learned it, I cannot tell you because I don't know what it is that I don't know. Which I why I don't know.

Last post, most likely

Between all my classes I have about five essays to write before Thursday. Tired petition for the school board to realize people have lives, jobs, family, responsibilities and other classes and stop giving professors a minimum homework amount to throw at us. Oh well. Just one more week left of this semester.

College

“You can’t pay $60,000 a year? Sorry, you can’t go to college.”

“You dropped out of school to earn money and now you’re at a dead-end job? Why didn’t you just go to college?”

 This is from a Tumblr post, but aint it true. Also a prime example of why community college is so valuable. You get the same education for much less. If you go a full year (three semesters) You only need to pay about $10,000. Still too much for a minimum wage job, but if you get loans it's that much less debt.

Spring Break

What did I do on spring break?

Nothing. I quite enjoyed it. 

PET PEEVES IN MOVIES AND TV

• There will only be a chalk line for a body if the vic was STILL ALIVE when the police got there and had to be taken to the hospital before the crime scene was finished being cased.
• For the love of god people learn about time zones. When it is Noon in New York, it CANNOT be Noon on the other side of the planet.
• Or daylight for that matter
• You can't see a solar eclipse all around the world at the same time, because it will be night on half the planet
• Same for meteor showers
• If the bomb is going to go off in less than a minute, don't have a ten minute scene while the clock keeps ticking the background
• If you're going to have a scene where people are speaking a foreign language, have the decency to actually use that language, not just random words that SOUND like they're from that language. Trust me, someone will notice when you start dropping Italian and Dutch into your Spanish.
• Same for writing in another language. If the secret message is supposed to tell you where the treasure is, I better not be able to use my freshman language skills to realize you're reading a shopping list.
• What the hell is with the french bread in shopping bags? Also, why does everyone always get paper? Where the hell are they shopping now days where paper is an OPTION?! Not Walmart.
• You can't hot wire a car by messing with the wires under the dash. You could fry your radio and blinkers though.
• If you're going to drop a Deaus Ex Machina at least have the courtesy to make it make sense.

Writing Resources

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

HUGE list of writing resources. Pretty much anything you could think of.

Offensive words

Words I find offensive? I never know until someone says one and I have the urge to beat their face in. The word is usually accompanied by laughter, which raises the annoyance levels to seething violent hatred. Which is weird as fuck because words are just a collection of sounds. The same utterance of sounds don't event have the same meaning, depending on the language. So why should one noise be okay while another make us hiss with hackles raised? Who knows humans are weird.
