Hey kids,

Your grand and glorious narator here with the weekly(ish) report And, unless you are some religious nut that came here because you liked that >song about scarlet Storms, I'm sure you know me, and that I am full of shit Nothing much is going on Just classes Not that that isn't much mind you, its just not much to talk about The closest I can come >to saying something interesting is a story about my E.M. Fields class.?? >Well .... First off, the material of the class is very difficult (for >the non-acronym (sp?) enabled of you that is Electro Magnetic), but I >have had worse before.?? The first week of the class (You know, that >week of figuring out that you would have been better off staying at >work even though you get paid sub par for being unimportant) the >particular teacher for this class (here in refered to as "The Prof") >was in washington.?? So we had a subsitute, who ended up being a very >kind, grandfatherly old man, who knew the subject very well, and was a >very good teacher.?? The first week with him was very good, and I >understood much of what was going on.?? The first dark cloud of this >story appeared when "The Prof" returned from Washington.?? He began as >if this was the first day, and not the second week (which made the >second week a bit of a write off).?? The next class he started out with >a rousing 15 minute discussion about Aristotle and why we should learn >as much as we can.?? A rather interesting speach, but one that I felt >was unnecisary in an engineering class.?? Fault number two would have to >be that he told us to always do the homework, but that it will be >graded randomly (I mean collected randomly of course .... what type of >nut would just randomly grade something??? Oh, yea, maybe this guy .... >I hope I never find out), and that we should be prepared to come up to >the board and work out a problem from the homework (To the theatrical >entertainment of "The Prof" and our peers) at his whim.?? Third and >final strike would have to be his complete and total disregard for >linearity in his board work.?? The man would jump around, and write at >slants, and use the far corners of the board (which no one could see) >for the critical pieces of information.?? I honestly was enraged by how >casualy he disregarded most chalk board rules.?? I figured I would give >him a week.?? Many head-aches later, I decided to switch into the night >class.?? I checked with the grandfatherly old man (for he taught the >night class) and he was glad to take more people into his class, and I >went on tuesday, and actually felt enligtened. (On a side note, in the >first week when "The Prof" was in washington, I had to relearn quite a >bit of circuit theory to do the first homework.?? I didn't become >exceptionaly good at it, but I was proficient.?? After his 'review >class' I felt like the knowledge was spunged out of my head.?? If you >have never had a teacher manage something like this, count yourself >lucky, since it throws into question what you learned, and if you can >ever learn it again)?? The Punchline of the joke is that many people in >the class decided to switch out, which sent up a warning flag to the >guidence counciler, who put a halt to all of the transfers, which is >why I had to sit through "The Prof"'s attempt at being a better teacher >in the span of one day and many complaint forms.?? For the record he >wasn't as bad today, but it can also be said that he wasn't that good >either.?? (I think the high point was when he had just derived a long >and tedious formula, and then he looked at the book, and said "oh, all >those pluses should be minuses, which sent him back in from the >beginning).?? I have put too much emotional effort to completely give up >trying to switch into the night class (even though I will have no joy >in taking a class from 6 to 7:40 P.M. ), so right now I am stuck in the >hiatus period where I am going to the night classes because (completely >unexpectedly) I can learn something from them, as well as going to the >day classes because I don't want him to spring some sort of pop quiz >that will be crucial to my grade.?? Yes I am a gulable, ball less, sap >(Yes, I know many of you have said that about me [not saying any names >Missy]), but I am a student first and formost, and I have always been >unable to do badly on purpose (Most of you have probably seen the logic >ticks I get), so I'm stuck.?? Funny story eh??? I know I laugh at myself >a lot.?? >>>So, I have seen some movies lately ....> >I saw the village and really liked it.?? It was very predictable (to me >anyway), but it was an interesting trip.?? There wasn't anything gross >or lude in it.?? Most of the scary stuff was because you had no idea >what the monsters where and because you felt bad for one of the main >charactors.?? I would recomend it to anyone who liked most of M.Nights' >other movies.?? >>I saw phantom of the Opera with the girls, and I really liked it.?? I >thought that the actual opera was better, but the movie made more sence >(because there are somethings that are just confusing when looked at >from the back of an audience).?? >>>Well, thats really it.?? I have hung out with Chuck a few times, and >Steph a few times, but mostly my life now is alone with my homework.?? >I'm getting back into the swing of school and being constantly >surrounded by young beautiful women ..... Anyway, I'll catch you all later
