I am a procrastinator, and I like it.

Man this week has been hectic. I honestly don’t know how some people can take up to six classes a semester. I’m only taking three this semester and the workload is pretty heavy. Then again, I guess I have to take into consideration the fact that not everyone works while attending school. Man I would have it so easy if I didn’t have to work 35 hours a week to pay my bills. I’d have enough time for everything without missing sleep or stressing. :tired: Ah, it doesn’t matter if I work anyway. I’m the world’s biggest procrastinator and so I would still find a way to be doing that big research paper at two in the morning before it’s due. :lol:

I want a new desktop. I have a Dell that’s about three (maybe four?) years old and refuses to work anymore. It’s horrible because it turns on, and lets you do about 75% of your work before BAM! It shuts down on you and displays a blue screen with a bunch of meaningless text. And all your work is lost, of course. :irked: It’s probably a virus, but we haven’t had it checked out. I’ve been procrastinating! It’s outdated now anyway what with Windows Vista and Microsoft 2007 out already. I think I’ll wait until a good desktop with twice the memory and triple the space comes out. They keep getting cheaper and cheaper all the time. As for my old Dell, I guess I can get it fixed and give it to my niece. She’s in desperate need of a computer, period. I may update it for her first, though.

We are doomed.

Every semester there is always one teacher who is absolutely weird or just annoys you. This semester, that teacher happens to be my Physical Science professor. She is both weird and annoying. For being a university professor, you’d think that they would AT LEAST know how to spell terms correctly. Sadly, the system is not working here in Texas. :oops:

She admitted last week that she was not that great of a speller, but come on! If you’re a physics teacher, you should at least know how to spell “celsius” correctly! She spelled it “celcius” and it annoyed me to no end. :irked: If there is one thing I can’t stand, it’s educated people misspelling simple things. She is a professor of university physics and the fact that she cannot spell “celcius” worries me. That was just one of the many words that she misspelled earlier this evening.

I know that it’s also a matter of preference, but I have always pronounced the word ‘nuclear’ just as it sounds. My professor, however, pronounces it ‘nuc-e-lar’, just like our dear, old President Bush. It was so annoying to hear her pronounce that word throughout the entire lecture, even though I know that it’s an acceptable form. :???:

So, I think that there is a serious gap in our educational system. If the professors at the university level don’t know how to spell words that they use on a daily basis and are in their particular field of study, then we are definitely doomed. :sweatdrop:
