I just wanted to say good luck to my fellow students who are undergoing the arduous task of cramming endless amounts of information into their heads. And I want to thank the academic staff (motown, 'Dub, and Stacks) for attempting to make sense of our papers and tests. Good luck to all of you. PS What's everyone's schedule like this week? I got one a day until Thursday.

Working at a college and not having ever gone to college is some shit. Kinda weird sometimes. But I dig it.
The realest shit you ever wrote (in the last hour).
I'm currently sitting at a cafe, trying to go through student assignments. Luckily (or unluckily) that other thread is providing a welcome distraction.
damn.
Grad school is better because there's no test. The killer though is that I'm busy applying to PhD's right now too, so I'm totally overbooked. And I work. And I have a performance tomorrow night. It's cool though, cause this is how shit get's done.
Good luck to everyone.
PS commercial law is soul destroying
ive hurd nothing but horrible things about that. FYI to the mac heads. found this great flashcard program that is worth $15 you throw at it:

so incredibly worth it. can study on your mac, or you can print em out on an 8 x 12 sheet and do some folding and cutting. best part is, if you buy, there is a database of other peoples flash cards. last i checked there was one for the NY BAR. this shit has saved me for me recent returns to academia.
exams next week: chem, bio, chem lab.
hours studied: 0
need to get off my ass.
This is fucking dope. I wish I knew about this months ago. But now, that's alright. This is especially useful with powerpoint presentations that have graphics in them, you can pull the graphic right of the PP and put it on the card. Dope. Thanks dude.
PS Danno, my wife just left to take her criminal procedure final. Seriously, WTF is wrong with you law students. That stuff is pure torture in my mind. Better you than me, I guess.
sorry dude.. i was gonna post about this when i found it (i was trippin for days) but it is UBERdork central. i told my girl and she laughed at me for weeks about how i was.
totaly do the same thing with the powerpoints. Some of my lecture notes are in pdfs, so i just do screen shots for images. so many molec bio structures are on those things.

I had my Graphic Novel final this afternoon and think I did well. I have my African American Lit final tomorrow and my Survey of British Lit final next Monday, which I'm absolutely dreading.
2)15 page statistical paper / project due this friday
3)20 page term paper in advanced sociological theory due on x-mas
oh, to be a student again.
the dangling carrot is: as soon as i'm down, i get in the car and hit the road for two+ weeks back down south.... to visit friends and follow up with some ye olde record leads.
I'm just about finished grading course projects (early tomorrow). Then, I have to (1) write my two finals, (2) work on an article revision for the Journal of Applied Psychology, (3) review an article for Human Relations journal (due December 20th), (4) revise a couple of papers after brutal informal peer reviews to (5) prepare my presentation for Vanderbilt (by January 3rd). Ahhhhh, it's the academic life...can't stop, won't stop. Best of luck on those finals/projects, 'Strutters.
By the way Aleit, who are you studying for your sociology paper? I was a sociology minor as an undergraduate. I loved that subject, great and interesting research!!!! I utilize a lot of sociology theory and research in my own research work.
Peace,
