econ, mind, and kids

curves.. as in grading scale ones.

i don't think they should be used. ever.

of course, curves are what's saving my ass in this econ class. grade 1 was a 70 out of 100 - grade is a B+. yeah. like a 15 point curve. grade 2 was a 60 out of 100, but he's using the same grading scale.. so i have a B- on it. translation: my avg score of 65 is a B.

why am i be rewarded for not knowing the material?

hell, i studied a total of 20 minutes of the second test.

hell, i've studied a total of one hour for the cumulative final.

with curves like this.. why do more?

of course.. i'm saddened to think that some folks are studying their asses off for this class. some.. economics mind-block crap.

econ is.. common sense muddled by fancy words. if one thing gets depressed other things will happen..

eh, fuck it. i'm basically set with a B in the class.. no matter how badly i do on the final.

in other news.. i'm in a wicked true bastard of a mind set.

perhaps i've just been around 1.5 year old and 3.5 year old too fucking long and i'm jealous. i want to be that age. i want to cry and rant and rave and scream and get the things i want.

perhaps i need to adopt some of this attitude in my life.. perhaps i need to drop certain things from my vocabulary like compromise and "seeing both sides of an issue".

eh. perhaps.. i'm just.. fucked up in the head from not having any alone time.

i know this much.. i've no desire to have my own kids. fuck passing my genes on. the world couldn't possibly want that.
