waiting is fun. really.
not. waiting for nonexistent teachers is annoying and tiring and exposes one to the unhygienic surroundings of the AS corridors (where one is lucky to find a bench to sit on). a while ago i formulated a proposal that i think will work for everyone. why not add one allowable absence to every student for every unannounced absence of a teacher? for example, if a teacher goes AWOL 3 times in the semester, the maximum number of absences per student will be increased from say 7 to 10. think about it. it's the perfect way to discourage a teacher from not showing up, because he knows that if he keeps on doing it, it will eventually come to a point when he comes to class and there's no one there - everyone's away doing something else. and this would be the ultimate humiliation. i'm not saying a teacher can't go on being irresponsible. he can simply report to class on time, say something pseudo-useful, and dismiss the class early. perfect solution. no waiting, no irritation, and everyone's happy.

it's highly unlikely that this is ever going to happen. but people should open their eyes and at least consider the possibility. think outside the box.

Merry Monday
I don't know if it's just me, but I was really pissed off during Zoology lab today. First, the stupid quiz. I got exactly one correct answer on the taxonomy portion. It seems to me she's going out of her way to make the questions hard for us. (what normal person can identify the order of a friggin necturus? i don't even know what that stupid animal is) And then I was made monitor, which was just perfect because it brought me into intimate contact with a monitor lizard's decomposing skin and worse, the smelly dogfish - and we're supposed to know what its skin is called - like i'll remember that.

Despite that B.S., I'm still feeling positive about tomorrow. Chemistry class is way better this semester, and I'm feeling the positive vibes. Percy, watch out - I'm making good on my promise. (haha, j/k)

Where are the other people? Dormant members, it's time to start posting.
