I saw an old lady in Muslim attire the other day. Fuckin terrorists are infiltrating my back woods, man.

This whole year has been pretty smooth for me so far, can't complain

Cold as hell, though

Nothing in particular as of late, but I've had my fair share of run-ins with dipshit college professors.

I was accused by my professor of plagiarizing a final I wrote last year, which was this big twenty-page research paper. He told me he wasn't going to do anything about it, grade-wise--but that's still something I don't take lightly. I gave him a piece of my mind (probably a bit too angrily) via e-mail, and he told me to come to his office with all of my prior assignments if I wanted to discuss the matter further.

He was being cheeky--he knows most kids throw away their assignments when they're graded--but I don't. I went to his office with every single paper I wrote for that fucking class.

He was impressed, and as he went through my work, we talked it over--his reasoning was simply that there was a distinct and noticeable lack of effort involved with my previous writings, whereas my research paper was very pristine, and almost "perfectly" written--so he assumed I didn't write it.

YEAH--because a student wanting to put in his best effort for the final just doesn't make any sense at all. Clearly, I copied it from somebody else. He eventually listened to reason and apologized for the offense.

But yeah, like I said--he wasn't gonna do anything about it, because he didn't have the proof, but just that he had the temerity to even accuse me of doing it in the first place--this guy's a ph.D, by the way--really just brought my blood to a boil. I left a mark on him, though, after that meeting--I still visit him from time to time to share some other things I wrote. He fucking hates college kids, too, so that kinda means a lot.

He wants me to be his TA, but I don't know. He is getting very old, and he could probably use some help, but the idea makes me very uncomfortable for anxiety-based reasons.

Because a turnaround in student's previous writing quality (on the final no less) isn't suspicious at all

Well it's not like you have a job or need to pay rent lol

No, it isn't. Especially if it's on the final. You'd want to do your best work on the final, little kid.

Episode VIII being delayed.

Delays are good. More time for the filmmakers to make the best movie they can make.

My damn parents are always annoy me with their persistence. You can tell them to fuck off and then not even a minute later, they annoy you about the same thing.

Students don't want to do their best work, they want to pass
Especially on the final

This is college, kiddo. Kids may just want to pass in high school--but in college, you literally can't afford not to do your best. You'd have to be an idiot to just want to pass.

Bad luck

Yo I saw one of them at Wegmans out here in Williamsport. Scary stuff

My Comparative Politics professor is boring, which is a shame, because World Politics was my favorite class last semester and the professor was insanely inspirational and intelligent. I doubt I'll get the same sort of legitimate experience and knowledge as I got from him, but when you start with the best, everything else is going to be sub-par in comparison.

Nope. Second semester sophomore.

I blame Affirmative Action for this.
