Day 1
First schoolday is over. This Statistics course I'm taking is looking formidable, but after I get over being intimidated it's exciting because it'll really require me to work hard to learn it, which is what I love. Sometimes I feel that classes are watered down, and so while you can still get hard tests and bad grades, it's not really because the material was super-difficult. I don't know if I'd call the material in this class super-difficult, but it'll be very challenging. He grades on a curve, so that's good. What's bad is when you have a hard class and you're graded against a standard.

If you have a hard class and are graded against a standard--yeah, that's bad. Or if you have a fairly normal class but don't do a stitch of homework all weekend and didn't read and have an exam tomorrow morning, that's bad. Which is why I begin to read now. But that means I don't sleep. Why do I try to have a life and study both?
What irks me is when the homework is very hard but you do it but you don't get credit for it because the prof set it up so that you personally would be at a great disadvantage.

I have a friend. She is DEEPLY and DESPERATELY intellectual. We don't always connect. Lately that is all we have done. I told her the other day that I am quite concerned with all the intellectual people that have come crashing in on my life of late. Her response:
" we'll get you yet--we'll drag you deep into the dark pit of
serpents--the pit of the intellectuals."
Sheesh! That'll scare anybody!

for some reason, tom, you sound bitter.

Just still very disappointed in how I got the shaft in that class.
