^Bad teachers make everything hard. I know it too well. But then again if you still don't work on it, it will still seem hard.

You know a teacher sucks when you fix several problems on their take-home/study exam.

Because they were too stupid/lazy to fix it themselves.

I don't understand how there's always a few students in any class who have less than 20% averages.

For the same reason there's a few students in any class who have more than 80% average?

No, I mean they just squarely make grades less than 15% in tests and such, as if there's always a few potential dropouts in ever single class.

Some students just don't care. Others are too scared to explain what they do not understand, nor do they look for help. One reason why I appreciate college so much is related to that... for the most part, everyone who's there wants to be there, and you reap what you sow. You need help? Go get it. You failed a test? Study harder. My college chem class is difficult and you need to do a lot of out of class studying to get good grades, and that's just how it is. No grade inflation, no extra cred (at least, in my chem class).

Anyway, doesn't this have to do with the bell curve, or something? I never took statistics.

I've hardly slept this long weekend trying to get all my studying done.
I can't wait for Friday at 1130. And then Saturday at 8AM because SKIIINGGGGGGGGGGGGG GGGGG!


Also, my prof puts up our marks, but not what the midterm was out of. So I got 37.5, cool. Out of...what? I think it was 50 but why would you not tell us

[megido-rev.M]

That's lame of him.

In high school? (We were talking about teens not getting math.)

She's not the best prof around.


Is it a thing for people (read: girls) on facebook to have their profile picture be pseudo-artistic black&white photo's as their profile picture and then just have a youtube link posted to a song with no explanation? Or is this just a thing among apparently the people I facebook-know?

Mind just went boom.

[megido-rev.M]

Well, I've never seen it.

[Tiffanys]

Well, it looks like dropbox is down. That's weird.

[1000mAh]

I just realised why I feel tired before I go to school but not after.
 #1 I go to school soon after waking up, I wake up and 20mins from that and I'm in school.
 #2 I rest for most of the time I'm in class.

Then, when I get home, I'm not tired at all.

[Tiffanys]

I think I heard somewhere that it's pointless to go to class for the first 2 hours that you're awake because you're still too sleepy to get anything out of it. That's why I always woke up early and ate breakfast.

[1000mAh]

^ kinda, depends of the person, I have no difficulties to listen to the teach while I rest.
I've not failed in exam, EVER. And I don't. Read for them...

[Tatsujin]

As soon as I wake up, I eat a fruit, drink water and relax for about 10 minutes or so surfing the net. I stretch afterwards for 3 minutes or so and that's how I wake up.

[JoonasTo]

Yeah, exactly that.

Afaik the official curve of when the brain is performing best in a 8:00-24:00 day peaks at 11am, and 9pm, the time between them somewhat averages out, wheras before and after are considered lows. So peak perofrmance is supposed to be around 3 hours after getting up. Mind you that this has been refuted, since humans are very adaptable and there exist to many differences.

I don't have your discipline. Me I snoze my alarm clock for half an hour. Spend 5 minutes on the net and then I have to go. I usually grab something to eat on my way to work or at my first school break depending which day of the week we are. My more frequent breakfast is pesto noodle salad.

[Mistgun_Zero]

Haha. I do the same as you Burk. Anyway test coming up. Ugh. I got like around 10 formula formation and derivation question in upcoming test. This is tough.

[krbee]

I wake up at the first sound of my alarm because it scares the sleep out of me. And if it's a clinical day then I eat oatmeal straight away. If it isn't, then I just wake up and study. Or lounge around a little before studying.

[Burkingam]

Ah I didn't know that was the trick. Having an alarm clock that scares you.

[krbee]

Loud, abrupt noises scare me @__@ I even tried waking up to the sound of the ocean but then the seagulls started to caw...

[metro.]

I woke my roommate up by doing dishes at like 11AM and I feel bad.
