Success

My English paper I'm currently writing is about success. We basically have to define success and prove/disprove that society is obsessed with success. Looking for inspiration, I asked my friends what success means to them. One of them told me, "Success is the absence of failure." Good answer, but I don't think that what I should define success as in my paper. I got bored an Wiki-ed success and sure enough, it said success is the absence of failure! haha. I also looked up success on UrbanDictionary and this came up. I think this'll be going in my paper...

They're Breakdance Fighting!

Lately I've been receiving a bunch of breaks. On Thursday, we were working on an in-class assignment in English class and our teacher said we'd be working on the assignment on Thursday and Friday. However, unbeknownst to her, we had a paper due on Friday and she was unaware that tomorrow was Friday. Usually when our drafts are due, we have peer editing groups. So, a guy in my class asks, "What about our paper?" Our teacher responds "What paper?" and everybody looks flabbergasted. She then says, "You know what, let's just move that to Tuesday." Being the lazy college students we are, everybody is really happy. However, that just meant staying up until 2am on Tues and Wed working on that paper was useless. But whatever, it's 1am on Sunday and I'm still not finished. Anyways, she goes on to say "Ok, tomorrow we'll discuss what we'll do on Friday," again forgetting that the following day is Friday. So after a 10 second pause, she goes "I'll just cancel class for Friday." Wtf? Hell yeah!

I also caught a break in Calculus. I didn't do my Calculus homework on Thursday because I had an engineering project and after I finished I just stayed up til 2am iChatting/TokBoxing it up. haha Anyways, the problems were hella hard so I didn't bother wasting my time trying to figure them out (I have such good time management...). So I went to class Friday with the problems re-written on graph paper with a couple of problems I tried to do and all the other ones blank. After going nearly every problem on the hw, she says, "You know, since these are all hard problems and you guys have a midterm on Monday, I'll let you guys keep the homework and give all of you credit for doing it." haha, I still gotta study for that midterm tomorrow though.

The Weather

Simpson's Reference:
Spelling Bee Guy: Okay, your word is "whether"
Lisa: Um, which one? Could you use it in a sentence?
Spelling Bee Guy: Certainly.. "I don't know whether the weather will improve."

What is up with this SLO/Central California weather? Just the other day I was taking a nap after class and the only reason I woke up was because it was so cold and my fingers were becoming numb. But today was the complete opposite: low 90s reminiscent of summer. Hella weird whether in the middle of November. I don't know whether I should stalk up on some thermals and scarves or on some shorts and t-shirts.

Guilt Trip?

Yesterday there was something going on in the UU and they people were handing out flyers and stuff. So I got this coupon with 30% any apparel item in the bookstore but along with that coupon was another flyer urging people to boycott Cal Poly products since there was a hate crime last week and the administration hasn't done as much as they can to punish the people. But anyways, I ended up using the coupon. Is that bad of me? haha

Stressed for Success?

My English teacher likes to give us a lot of in-class responses and a couple of days ago she gave us this article. We had to write about whether we agreed or disagreed with the writer. I found the reading pretty interesting and for the most part I agree. It's sort of weird knowing that I'm done with the college app process but I still found this a good read.
