Updating Fool: Halloween Costume [26 Aug 2008|03:54pm] no_worries [ mood | geeky ] I need major help for my Halloween Costume. I may be a little behind on trends, but I have watched and loved Cowboy Bebop so I want to go as Faye for Halloween. I have seen some outfits online, and I think that they are using the wrong material. I think her outfit should be made out of PVC or latex. I am more inclined to say the former. I may just buy a couple of raincoats to use as fabric. Then I come into the problem that I don't sew, I know nobody that sews, and I want to do this cheaply. I'm expecting the most expensive parts to be the wig and the boots. I know I'm not original for wanting to be Faye, but I can be original in making the costume damn close. 4 To go.. | post comment

RE: Group Assignment [26 Aug 2008|02:52pm] no_worries Her email: "Listen, I'm not trying to argue with you. The project topic was decided and approved. It's too late to change now." Other words, I get my way, I don't hear you, lalalalala. *sigh* She doesn't get it. Won't ever get it. Though it's not too late to change since no work has been done! I'm trying to get everyone on the same page which is hard when nobody returns emails. Funny, this "fight" is the only instance where people have participated in the group. LOL. So I'm a bitch for wanting to get everyone on the same page and get a good grade. I can't wait for college to end. post comment

Is Humanity Toomed [26 Aug 2008|08:09am] no_worries I'm in this group paper project, that statement in of itself is insane, but one girl is pulling rank and in her e-mail says, "I'm really pissed that we got a B+ on the last paper." The paper she gave me, which she was sure was an A, was really a D or F quality paper. If I was a TA in this class, my group wouldn't have passed. Anyways, this girl has no reading comprehension ability at all. Our assignment is : "Below are instructions for the Final Essay: Gender Equity Course Proposal for Middle School" Then this girl sends us an email that we are going to target 4th and 5th graders. Um what!? Did she even read the four times throughout the handout that said "middle school" in large all caps print? Then she wants to recycle the information from the midterm, which I think is lazy. She wants our class to be on "a few important people and times in history of underrepresented Americans." Um OK? I sent her an e-mail telling her she was wrong about the assignment. She got defensive of course, and then I laid the internet smack down on her. Oh did I forget that this GROUP paper is done in my ONLINE class?! This is also the girl who sent me her final paper less than 12 hours before it was due to "insert my part" last time. As far as I knew there was a strict page limit, which they had already reached when it was given to me. *sigh* It was only until 1 hour before the turn in deadline that I was told that I could add another page, but of course 1 page wasn't enough to say anything about my assigned topic, "gender socialization of the African American community," and all the research I did pretty much said "there's no research on this topic." Thanks guys. Anyways. Back to the issues at hand. I told this girl she was wrong by quoting her e-mail the professors handout and inserting a ton of bitch slap. In one of her e-mails she said, "Well the professor approved the topic and I think she would have told me if I was off the mark." I really don't think the professor wants to do any work, hence having group papers. She's elderly, a really cool civil rights activist who has had a very interesting life etc, but I don't think her heart is really into this class. She has a sense of distance when it comes to the class. Maybe she is feeling the same dejection I feel about college students. When I received the "edited" version of the paper I really questioned how any of my group mates even made it past the writing part of the entrance exam. How they even made it past any fucking writing comp classes. The writing was like my 8th grade papers. This is why I want to teach, to get back the ability to write in our college kids. post comment

One last quick thing and I'll stop post-bombing this community I swear [19 Aug 2008|05:51am] agnosticism [_53] Just wanted to say: There's no drug known to mankind that can replicate the experience of listening to a couple of hard boiled uber Christian Creationist Bible thumper types talk about... *drum roll*... ...how ridiculous and ludicrous and nonsensical Flat Earthers are for believing the earth is flat, despite all the evidence and science and common sense proving them wrong.
