Education Woes
When was the last time I actually wrote in here? A descent entry too, not a video post or a ‘this is my next paper/study guide’ post? -..- Man, when it comes to college, the cake is a lie.
It must be said, English Comp is totally owning me. If the professor kept to the ‘a paper every two weeks’ then perhaps it wouldn’t be so, but for some reason we have a paper due three Mondays in a row as...

Father Thibodeaux asked him “about dis wonderful change that had done overtook him”.
Boudreaux explained, “I heard “Crisis in the Gulf” and if He...

1st Sociology Test Study Guide
I’m fairly sure that I’ve convinced all my classmates that I’m insane… this is mostly due to the fact that I have typed up the entire study guide and the added to it. In total it’s about 17 pages (depending on font type, margins, etc). And here it is, all complete and done as I can get it without my eyes popping out. One day I’ll look back on this and chuckle,...

ECI - Paper 2
OK, after four hours (give or take) of my re-reading the text, typing ideas on the text, staring googley-eyed at the text, cussing out the text, and then staring at a dark room, it’s finally done. Admittedly I was not as prepared for this as I had hoped I’d be. Obviously when the teacher says to read over the essay, what he actually means is to read and take notes and compose thoughts and ideas...

Wasting Time before Class

So I sit in the hallway and wait for when it’s time to move. I usually just check e-mail and mess about on FaceBook. I tried reading once, but srsly -..- at this hour, I cannot retain information at all. And it’s...
