can't it just be over already?

i've been asked to be the undergraduate class marshall for pitt's sis commencement ceremony in april. that apparently means i'd just lead the line of graduates, but something tells me it'd mean more. either way, it doesn't matter, 'cause i'm not going, so can't lead the line ( Read more... )

I noticed that many of the kids in my classes just want to pass and really don't give a damn about their education. They feel like they're forced to be there and don't really care much about it to begin with. I was like this when I was going to school right out of high school. However, now that I'm going back, I'm looking at things whole new perspective. I actually give a crap and want to do well. I think people who go back to school have more drive to do well than your average college kid. They actually give a damn as opposed to getting trashed every night until the night before the test to study.
This might be why you probably did better than 90% of the other kids there. You actually cared. :)

really, i swear i'm not. i apparently just "lucked out" and only ever got teachers that had no real expectations, 'cause i didn't learn anything. after getting a's in all 3 programming classes, you'd expect that i could at least figure out what a chunk of code is supposed to do, right? WRONG. i also can't even figure out pseudo-code for things i have to write. there is absolutely no reason i should have passed several of my classes, and here i am, getting awards!
