Reminded / inspired by my friend Ani’s post referencing The Aims of Education address I thought to go back and reread some of them including my own.
Originally, I wanted to go through and read a lot of the addresses, perhaps starting a year or two before the one given at my orientation, and [...]

A little while ago I remarked about the NYTimes Essay Contest about the “End of College”. I even managed to convince a friend to enter.
I’d been meaning to come back to this ever since they decided to put all of the essays online (about 450) in a search-able database. I’ve only looked at [...]

Dude you know what? Fuck this. Fuck this school I’m fucking tired of this library and I’m not gonna sit here and take this shit anymore. Fuck that, I’m done. Who needs a college degree anyway? I’m going home. Fuck all the naysayers I bet I could live on [...]

So I’ve drawn up a possible schedule (13.9 kB, pdf) for next quarter, though at present it only includes classes and sleeping. Have I made any particularly obvious oversights here? 3 naps per week are out of place by a bit, but it’s hard for me to avoid that, and they’re each only [...]

I’m not too pleased with the current state of things. However, not really having much more specific things to say beyond that, I can’t really back that up with anything in particular. I don’t like how I spend my days, I don’t like my current health, I don’t like what I’ve been doing, [...]

So here I am on the eve of my last final this quarter, and I feel like I just want to quit. I anticipate a B on the final, and I suspect that no amount of studying I do at this point will raise that significantly. That is, I will continue studying until [...]

I didn’t get any email yet, or a letter, but when a friend of mine who also took it at the beginning of the month started venting to me about it online, it was made clear to me that the scores are posted online.
So I went and checked mine out, and though I [...]
