Does this look like homework that serves any sort of useful purpose?
Oh well, I'm done now and would go to bed if I was still tired, so I'll shut up.
I now realize this was poor choice of sentence placement within my earlier post, but this "Maybe if she realized I wasn't a crazed psychopath, she'd let me come see them." was in reference to PW's mom.
I didn't, and as much as I'd like to say it gets better, I still don't understand much of my mom's thought process.
At least now I'm old enough to make my own decisions and ignore all of the crazy things she says.
nolu, I in no way support a three-way call where the topic of the conversation will be me and my mental instability.

The assignment is called "Re-branding of America." I understand the concept, but after listening to him talk for about 5 hours, I think I'm more lost than I originally was.
I don't like this class. Yesterday someone talked for about 2 hours on how to select in Photoshop and use the pen tool in Illustrator. I already know how to do that.

So my Biology teacher wants us to learn aaaaall about bibliographies. So much that he is making us create a bibliography with 75 citations on it! :yikes:
The good news is that we don't have to actually do an essay . . . Just the bibliography, to teach us . . . the proper form, I guess. But couldn't we learn the proper form from doing a fifteen citation bibliography or something? Also, compared to the bibliographies I've seen in other sources, the form seems very odd and not standard. *grumblemutter*
I had to quit my full time job to go back to school and in despair signed up part time for Blockbuster video store, but now, mwahahaaaa, the local utility company called me talking about an interview for a part time temporary job (six months, flexible hours.) I go in to test my alphanumeric skills and Excel / Word skills tomorrow . . . I soooo hope I get it, it's close to my old wage, as opposed to living off minimum wage, which would barely cover the rent + monthly expenses.

It was due WHEN???
Oh man, am I in a panic right now! I'm in a completely online computer course (XHTML language) and the instructor just sent out an e-mail to everyone starting, "The deadline for Assignment 1 has come and gone . . ."
SAY WHAT? :yikes: I frantically logged into the main school website to check the syllabus and I swear it says assignment one is due on Oct. 8th! Oh man, I hope the teacher just got his dates mixed up! He automatically takes off 50% on late assignments! :yikes:
I hope and pray he just got his dates mixed up. The really stupid thing is that I've had the assignment done for a couple days now but hadn't sent it in because I wanted to double-check my work one last time! *dies a little inside*

I just need to suffer through this week then I have next week off. YES.
I'm ready to destroy my english teacher though. We finished Great Expectations... and now we are reading Rebecca. And I have a 700-word paper about Great Expectations due on Friday, sounds pretty fun, huh. I swear we will ALWAYS have a book to read in this class. And he's "thinking about" having us read David Copperfield over Christmas break. :yikes: That's almost 900 pages!!! In less than 2 weeks.
If it weren't for that stupid english class I'd have straight As. Grrr.
I also need to complain about photo; I can't roll film in bright light, I don't know how I'll pass this class when we're rolling it for real in pitch black.
I think the only class I don't totally hate is chemistry, which is amazing because unless it's biology, I normally SUCK at anything science related. Oh yeah... and I guess my cooking class isn't too bad, doesn't get any more awesome than baking cookies and cinnamon rolls.

Thanks for the support, guys. I talked to him this morning and he said, "Oh, that assignment isn't due until Wednesday because some people couldn't get their books until last Thursday! "
So, uh . . . I have no idea why he e-mailed everyone saying it was due yesterday!! I'll bet I wasn't the only one in the class who panicked, though!
Now I can move on to panicking about my upcoming Dendrology quiz!
