10/20/2005: "Apathy"
Song of the Day: Velvet Chain - Warm (Bad Kitty Mix)
Question: What do you get when you mix a major assignment worth 20% of the grade with a one-credit class and an apathetic professor?
Answer: Major procrastination, endless distractions, general laziness, and complete indifference on my part.
Did I mention the apathetic professor? The entire class (all 10 of us) is ready to mutiny and behead this blasted woman. She's a practicing attorney who obviously decided to pick up some extra cash on the side by taking on a one-credit class. That would be all fine and dandy, except for the fact that it is beyond obvious to everyone that she really doesn't care about us. She comes to class late, leaves early, doesn't answer our emails or phone calls, changes grading schemes after we turn in an assignment, and all of her written communication to us is filled with so many typos and errors that it's downright pathetic. I've never witnessed such a train wreck of a professor before in my life. I'm reluctant to even call her a professor, since it's a complete insult to all of the wonderful ones I've ever had. Even the really awful ones I've had before wanted to be there; they just were lacking in the "ability to teach" area.
I'm quite sure that once my class rips this woman up in our course evaluations or takes a group trip to the dean to discuss the situation (we haven't decided just how drastic we need to get yet), she'll never step foot inside a classroom again. I'm just relieved that this class isn't that important (required, yet not too important). It's also not on the forced curve, which in law school is usually a reason to celebrate; however, in this situation where her grading is infuriatingly arbitrary, it means that she can flunk all of us for not doing what she hadn't yet told us to do.
I somehow made it through the assignment with the help of Robbie Williams, Rob Thomas, and Velvet Chain, as well as a sweet, delicate flower and a pretentious bastard. Robbie was especially ever-so-helpful, as you can see from my Last.fm account. Check out what music I've been listening to for the last few months, sign up for your own account, link to me. It's fun and addicting, like all the good things in life are.

I'm all in favor of Photoshopping J's eyes in that picture to make them spewing fire, and then we'll see if our favorite (gag) stalker still thinks so. :DBrooke, Thursday, October 20th
I will blame your ignorance on the fact that you've never seen me mad, only mocking all our favorite fucktards. My eyes DO spew fire. >:Dj!!, Thursday, October 20th
