What the...

OK so I've been "struggling" in one of my classes lately....or so I thought. I'm really new to this whole go to class read case studies and write replies to them, but two of my classes are totally like this. Actually in one class we just talk about the cases so I've been OK but the other class we have to actually write a response before we talk about the cases in class. Needless to say I've been feeling like I have no idea what's going on. I didn't turn in the first case and the second one was total crap. Today I turned in a third case that was only 2 pages long (supposed to be 5) and I'm convinced that I need to go to office hours to discuss with the TA.

Then the TA starts passing back the papers from the "crap" case that I turned in before. This one guy in the class that says something like every 4 minutes gets an A. I curse at him for being so smart. The next guy gets his paper with all kinds of stuff written on it followed by a B-. At this point I'm really feeling like I'm screwed. Just give me my D so I can take my break and get something to eat. Then he hands me back my paper, with nothing written on it except "Good Job - A". WHAT?!?!?! OK I spent all of 2 hours doing this whole assignment. If I got an A and you got a B-, what the hell did you write? Oh well at least now I know that I'm not completely incapable of still getting the A in this class that I need to get my GPA right. THERE'S STILL HOPE! OK now I have to go study because I just realized earlier today that our midterm is next Monday......ARGH!

America the Beautiful...

Food for thought...

36 have been accused of spousal abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
19 have been accused of writing bad checks
117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
3 have done time for assault
71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 currently are defendants in lawsuits, and
84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year
Can you guess which organization this is?



It's the 535 members of the United States Congress.
The same group of Idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

Worst Commercials Ever

OK so was I the only one who was completely bored by the Superbowl commercials this year? The only thing I got out of them was that Grey's Anatomy is a great show which I'm now addicted to after one episode. Oh and I had fun counting how many commercials Matt Leinart was in before even getting drafted. The count got to three. His agent is doing a damn good job.

But what happened to the great commercials like the Budweiser frogs and the "wazzzuuup" ones. Those were great. Not only were the commercials crap, but thanks to Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake we will never again have an interesting half time show. Honestly how many of you actually sat through that entire half-time show? I started watching the "What Not to Wear" marathon and almost forgot to turn back for the second half.

I mean this isn't fair. It's already bad enough that no team that I was even remotely cheering for at the beginning of the season made it to the Superbowl and to be honest I didn't really care who won the game. I even tried to cheer for the team with the most Trojans. That ish didn't work. How do you pick between Troy Polamalu and Lofa Tatupu. Now I know why we didn't win the Rose Bowl. All of our damn defense was in the Superbowl. If Lofa had stayed we could've won the Rose Bowl. It's not like he got the Superbowl ring.
