Random Rants XLII: The Four-Part Plan

[hobbsyoyo]

Time for a Korean vacation?


I'm sorry, that was kind of awful, wasn't it?

That was funny!

I am tired of bronies.

I am tired of bronies.

Please tell me you hadn't decided how you felt about them until just now.

I can't find the credits music to "Good Bye Lenin" anywhere. Aaargh...

Bronies stole it.

 

[Phrossack]

Bronies stole it.

This seems plausible

As a generalization, we're content creators, not thieves ^_^

rant: way too much to get done, way too little motivation.

"yaruki ga nai, asobitai"

 

[GenMarshall]

Because all fanboy obsessions are cause for severe mental fatigue if you see it everywhere you go.

I don't know, I tend to ignore it.

I laughed. Very loudly.

General strike ordered for Catuesday! No transport available on exam day!

My econ professor has no idea how to write a good test. Her questions are confusing and when she asks to interpret what something means (ie: what does a Marginal Utility of 10 mean), she explicitly says in the instructions don't just repeat what she has written but she gives us no context allowing us to write more than is in the instructions.

 

[JohannaK]

Mine has a similar problem. She writes answers that in spite of being the correct option can't be the correct option. Paradoxes ftw. Test type exams, of course. Those with a,b,c,d possible answers.

Also, I had one of those this morning. Thermodynamics. I'm sure I won't have a 0 but I have a 50% chance of passing if I have guessed the other options correctly, which unless I made a mistake in the procedures, should be okay. But I doubt that I have passed. The worst is that I knew this was gonna happen, because I can't get myself to care about it. It is far too boring.

This test won't fail itself~~~~~. I've had plenty of time to study but I just....haven't. I said I could do it later and later never came.

man, it's hilarious that my worst classes (probably) are my two elective courses I took. I don't know why I did this to myself rofl. Gogo PDEs.

*edit* actually, this isn't terrible. Just I messed up on the last test setting things up, which really screwed me. I just kind of think it's so much pressure for this material to be able to solve exact solutions in test environments, when setting it up slightly wrong (or a step in the middle) leads you to 20 minutes of work yet almost no partial credit besides "whelp, you tried hard, but you made a mistake 12 steps ago".

Today has been one of my sh***ier birthdays. Sadly, my prophecy prediction that today would be crappy was, as bleeping always, proven correct.

Future PlutonianEmpire, take note: Every time your birthday falls on the same day of the week you were born (Thursday), expect a sh***y day.

How I am supposed to write a 3 page essay with like, one page worth of material?

Its like my professor wants me to pad the hell out of it. TIME FOR SOME MASSIVE QUOTES

 

[Kennigit]

Gosh dernit, I prepared decently well and the second question (on very easy material, relatively) was worded so bizarrely I have no idea what it really was asking for.

It might not even be that bizarre, just that it was incredibly "formal" language for math, compared to all the homework problems, practice test question, etc on the same material that are much better wording.

Plus it was a bit different than what I thought the stuff was applied for anyways. So I'm probably either way off (little to no credit) or will get a lot of credit. I'm betting on the former.

ah well, le sigh.

Did you ask the professor what the hell they were trying to say with the problem statement? They usually have no problem clearing this kind of stuff up.

I think happened to me once. I think I basically just quoted everything than repeated it a few times in paraphrase.

That's basically my game plan now

I had a (pseudo-(?))premonition about this in a dream I had last week.

 

[NickyJ]

Got into an argument and was falsely accused of something. But I came up with some great zingers that would've settled the whole thing on the spot. Two hours later, that is. *sigh*

That pretty much sums it up. I'm not going to bring up the subject again, though. I guess I'll have to store it away in my wasted comebacks warehouse.
