Knowing is Better

Filed under Bluggin, Grades, Personal, Thinking, Video-Goodness //

So, a summary of my past week and a half, yes? I believe that at least this is appropriate. First of all I’m sorry for my terrible posting; even though my new years resolution was to post more and get more people to read my blog; so far I have just been partially successful at one aspect of those.

Well, let me start here with a conversation that happened between myself and my textbook several times:

Me: I can’t study you anymore I think my head is going to explode.

Textbook: You will FAIL the test if you don’t reeeeeaaaaaddddddddd meeeeeeeeeeee!

Me: But it’s my last semester at ISU and I don’t wannaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Textbook: Don’t you love me?

Me: Is that rhetorical?

Textbook: I provide you knowledgeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Me: Does the knowledge have the option to come by osmosis?

So, the end. That about wraps up my past two weeks. I had a Marketing test last week that made me feel like “OH MY GOD I LOVE MARKETING!”

Only…the opposite… Oh and the same about my Finance class test. Both tests I ended up with a high “C” on them. Actually, let me let you in on a little secret: Normally I fail the first test of every class, and then get an A on all of the other tests. Thus, leaving me with a “B” out of the class. This time I received a “C” on the first test in two classes.

Not only that, a HIGH ‘C’ -

CALL THE PRESS! TELL YOUR NEIGHBOR! SEND OUT A BULLETIN! MAKE COOKIES! I made up that last one. So I guess that means that I might end up with all A’s and B’s on my transcript for a single semester for the second time in my college career.

That’s actually really, really sad.

The last thing I want to talk about is a movie I made. It is in remembrance of four students who died pretty much simultaneously in the same car crash on February 16, 2008. No, I honestly didn’t really know the students that well; the only one I knew was Chris through a few classes in high school. I sent it to a blog that is up on the web for those four students and he posted a link to it immediately (see the blog post here). Since then there have been about 600 hits to it. I figured if NIU students have a bunch of remembrance videos all over the internet then why shouldn’t these four students?

Anndddd BREAK

Lately my classes have been getting just as bad as they sound. As in, “Introduction to Marketing”; how bad can it be?

You have NO idea.

Well, maybe you do.

About a week ago I made the movie I’m about to post. Why did I not post it then and I chose today to post it? Have the planets aligned? No idea. Maybe I didn’t post it for the same reason why I haven’t been posting in my blog recently.

Nope, still no idea.

In conclusion, my heat has been back on in my apartment and has been for awhile, so that means I can run around the apartment without pants again during winter time. Oh come on, we all know that is the REAL reason why heat exists.
