Stephen King unleashes the claws!

That is the most negative thing I've ever seen or heard him say about another author. It also echoes my feelings. I looked at one of those books and thought I'd seen better written fanfic.

So my composition class has been assigned my first group project. As one of the few people (apparently) who actually read the syllabus, I knew it was coming and prepared accordingly.

I came up with an idea that I knew would appeal to the professor (writing to your audience is never a bad idea) and presented said idea to the class. Perhaps ( Read more... )

I got word today that I've been accepted into the Honors Society on a provisional basis (meaning, I must keep a 3.5 to remain). The school wanted a letter of recommendation from a professor (which I couldn't get, this being my first semester) or an essay explaining why I should be included. I did neither.

What? You don't think today is Independence Day? I sure do. Independence from the whack jobs that used to sit in the Oval Office, Cheney and his evil monkey sidekick, dubya.

Apparently it also boggles the Supreme Court, cause they never hear constitutionality cases pertaining to public school students.

Columbine was an awful tragedy, but the amount of bullshit schools get up to nowadays in the name "protecting the school and the students" is getting ridiculous. Grade school kids getting ( Read more... )

No, I'm not going to post about every day, just the starters.

So my Honors Composition course is more of a pop culture course than a writing instruction lab. The Watchmen is a required text. I lol'd. The comparative religion prof looks like what I expected a philosophy prof to look like: eccentric and a little bit hippie.

The addition of Honors ( Read more... )

The NWA cover, as promised. Best cover ever?  =P

So my first day at school is over. It was the normal class overview, handing out of syllabuses and the like. My Movie Appreciation Prof seems like a good guy. He's enthusiastic about the subject. My political science prof seems like a smart lady. Oh, and she invited me to join a Honors Political Science course, so that's cool ( Read more... )
