PEEVED

Tonight, it took me over four hours to write three more pages of my report. I’m up to eight pages and I can only write a maximum of ten pages. I’m not going to write any more tonight. When I start again tomorrow, I’m going to wrap it up, print it up, and hand it in.

I too peeved to write any more tonight. I wrote a final exam today and this report is due tomorrow. This is all for the same class mind you. Then on Monday, I have another assignment due. Guess what? Same class. So it’s final exam on Wednesday, report due on Thursday, and an assignment due on Monday. That’s a span of less than a week.

I live in a residence with other grad students. The consensus is that’s not how things are supposed to be done in grad school. You can ask your students for two of those three things but not all three.

In my estimation, my report is not very well written, but if I had more time, I would have done a better job. The thing is due at 4pm tomorrow. I’ll probably hand it in then, go home, have dinner, and watch the game.

After that, I’ll go work on that last assignment.

FINAL EXAM

I have just come back from writing my final exam for MECH 550A. I have had more pleasant ways to spend 2.5 hours.

The first sign of trouble appeared even before the start of the exam. My prof handed out the exams and each of us got a little white tube of something. It was a tube of K-Y Jelly.

“You’ll be needing that during the exam so your ass doesn’t get too sore.”

Ok, so maybe he didn’t hand out the K-Y, but he sure as hell probably should have. The damn thing was hard. He said that there should be one mark per minute, so if a question had five marks, you should spending five minutes on it. The first question was worth four marks. I finished it in twelve. Little did I know that would be the only highlight of the exam.

It was all downhill after that. I knew about half way through I wasn’t going to finish. Then a girl in my class asked if we could extend the exam till 3pm, making it a three hour exam. I was thinking, “No way, let’s just end this anal reaming early, cut our losses and go home.”

Thankfully, my prof said no and we continued on. With about ten minutes left, he asked if any one would object to extending the exam another 15 minutes. I almost did, but I didn’t want to be the single wanker that screws it up for everyone else. I must have looked a bit annoyed because my prof asked me if I objected.

“Well no, but I don’t think another fifteen minutes is gonna matter whole lot at this point. I’ll probably use the extra fifteen minutes to think about what products I’d like to purchase in the future.”

That got a laugh, but I was actually serious. Anyways, that fifteen minutes flew by and I managed to get a pretty decent multi-panel handrawn Archie comic on the back of one exam paper. I had Jughead running to the mall to enter a burger eating contest. That crazy Jughead.

When it was all over, it was clear everyone had the same amount of trouble. The question will be, who sucked on this exam the least? I can tell you, it was not me.

If that wasn’t enough, I have a ten page report due tomorrow in this class as well. I have five pages written already, but I don’t feel like doing a great job on the last five after this exam.

It’s 3:30pm and I’ve decided I’m not touching that paper until after dinner. Here’s to three plus hours of relaxation.

WOW BUSY

I wish I could say I’m too busy getting Rebecca Romijn‘s phone number, but I’d be lying. No, instead, I’m busy writing five pages of the worst report I’ve ever written and also studying for my final exam on Wednesday.

In the meantime, look at a picture of a baby zebra born without stripes.

STUPID CLASS

Between you and me, if you’re getting your students to study for a final exam, complete a report, and finish an assignment, while in the month of April, you’ve given them too much work to do.

BAH HOCKEY

This is why hockey and studying don’t mix. I’m guaranteed to lose three hours a day every other day until who knows when. Yeah, it’s alright when your teams wins, because it does seem like it’s worth. Even though in reality, you still lose three hours of studying time. When your teams loses though? Oh boy, that’s a metaphorical double punch to the testicles.

So tonight, both my beloved ‘Nucks and myself lost. It’s also bad that I don’t feel like studying right away. I’m not sure, it might have been better if they had been blown out. That way I might have stopped watching earlier.

Well, in a way, exam time are the playoffs for the students, so I better step it up. Ok, let’s get to it.

A LITTLE BIT DRUNK RIGHT NOW

For more reasons that I can get into, I feel like one of the luckiest people on Earth right now.

WELL I GOTTA DO WHAT I GOTTA DO

You’ve probably read this already, but a report on prostate cancer was just released. No pun intended.

I’ll give you some highlights of the report here:

“higher elevations of ejaculation appear to protect men from developing prostate cancer”



The study suggested that frequent ejaculations may decrease the concentration of “chemical carcinogens which readily accumulate in prostatic fluid” and may reduce the development of crystalloids “which have been associated with prostate cancer in some.”



The earlier Australian study published in July 2003 by the Cancer Council Victoria found that the more often men ejaculated between the ages of 20 and 50, the less likely they were to suffer from prostate cancer.

I’ve always preached that you can’t argue against hard scientific facts. I’m also a big fan of preventative care. As men, we should be doing all we can to take care of our prostate.

So from now on, if anyone asks, just tell them you’re trying to protect yourself from prostate cancer.

NAME THAT MOVIE

UPDATE: My horrible commenting system has screwed up. Only I can see the latest comments. For all of you dying to find out the name of the movie, it’s Wayne’s World 2. Props to Bryan for getting it right first.

“Take me (character name deleted)!”

“Where? I’m low on gas and you need a jacket.”
