Good grammar is hot...

'Should have' instead of 'should of'.

Conscious vs. Conscience

They're/Their/There

Effect/Affect

Your/You're

Than/Then

When correctly used, it means the world to me.

Hurrah!!

I've noticed that I have now written enough blog posts that if you scroll down to the bottom of this page, you will find a tab for "Older Posts."

Yippie!!!

Midnight Ramblings...

Same charade...

I'm studying for a final, and luckily enough the prof gave us a list of terms to learn.

Students hate doing work so we split up the terms.
Some students reeeeeaaallly hate doing work and decide it's cool to write word-for-word the first thing they Google/look up in a book and say, "I did my share." To make it seem much less half-ass they will copy and paste a few/four/five paragraphs.

The latter form of students are straightup mo-fos. Stop being lazy and writing bullshit. I don't have the time* to sift through several paragraphs of plagiarism to make out what I really need to be studying.

And this is the sort of crap that happens everytime the prof posts up a study guide. What do we do? Split up the work and then send it around. And then there's always at least 1 shithead who thinks they can get get away with this sort of lazy behaviour.

Never again will I settle for this sort of agreement.

*Or energy, as it is midnight.

I have to remind myself to write more...

Currently reading: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Samuel Clemens aka Mark Twain.

It's quite good. Pretty funny too. Some of the lingo is old school (obviously, since it was written in the 1860sish) but not completely incomprehensible.

I have not yet started The Book of Negroes, unfortunately. However, I did begin this book called 13 and a Half Lives of a Blue Bear. It was captivating enough but the premise of it was so obvious that I knew how it would end and so I didn't finish it.

Can't think anymore, goodbye.
