Matt's Theories About College
1. Physics, Calculus and Chemistry are all the same exact class. while the argument could be made that they are different, they are not. sure, they have a few unique qualities but each are intertwined into a twisted mess of numbers and variables.
2. The key to maximizing the effectiveness of class is knowing when to begin paying attention, and when to stop. most professors are paid researchers who have a great expertise in a lot of stuff not pertanent to the class whatsoever. if you try and listen and take notes on everything you will have to make a choice: a.) have nothing in your notebook but pay attention or b.) take notes like crazy and have no idea what they mean.
3. Teachers are not as good as they say they are at catching people who copy. they ARE bluffing.
4. It all DOES depend on the teacher.
5. It is impossible to do everything for every class. there is always another project to work on, homework to do, or studying/reading to be done. inevitably no one can do it all so it is key to prioritize your work and do what is most necessary first.
6. Books are grossly overpriced. i paid more than half as much on books this quarter as i did for tuition and room and board combined.
7. The cafeteria is a scam. when you do the math and realize each meal costs over ten dollars think about the amount of food you could buy elsewhere and you will no doubt come to the same conclusion that i have: the school run cafeteria is just another way to steal our money.
8. It is not important what you learn in class. grades are all that matters. the very fact that youve seen the material prepares you enough for the job market. there isnt a job in the world that wont train you.
9. Most professors are pompous assholes who like to make you look and feel dumb and show how smart they are. beware of 20 minute or more tangents on some super advanced or cool thing they are working on. nobody cares.
10. Sleeping is for the weak and unmotivated.
11. There will be PLENTY of time later.
12. Because of inhuman tuition costs it is your duty to take advantage of the "system" as much as possible.
13. There is no grade so poor that it cant be cancelled out with a good solid night of sin, underaged drinking, and dabauchery.

i spent all day today, thinking, yes! no work due tomorrow so i can split up the stuff due wednesday and both evenings will be stress free and worryless. well, as i need not remind you i am an idiot. as i sit now trying to maintain conciousness like an old lady after being beaten by mike tyson, i know because of my laziness tomorrow will be hell on earth. perhaps it wont be that bad. the weather couldnt get much worse ... today the wind felt like constantly being slapped by a tennis racket. i also dont have to receive any more exams on which i clearly couldnt have cared less about my answers. i have completed all but one of those obnoxious teacher evaluation forms the other of which will no doubt be given to me tomorrow. i do have to study for a "midterm" for a class who's final i take in less then a week. i also have 3 comp lab assignments due. not too mention i havent done the prelab for my 4 oclock class or mentally prepared myself to be bored to the point of suicide contemplation in my 8 am. so basically to recap, tomorrow will still suck, plus i complain a lot.

i have spent approximately the last hour or so reading this website that joe sent me. i implore you, especially all my thousands of female readers, take some time to read this. i would probably have to read it from beginning to end about 4 more times to find something that i didnt agree with. in every relationship that i have a.) been in, or b.) witnessed any part of, this theory has rang true. the author appears to have spent a good deal of time on it and his style reminds me quite a bit of maddox with the same basic cynisism and mathematical approach. i would particularly like to call attention to the part on ladder jumping as i myself have unsucessfully attempted the ladder jump on many occasions.
