The Good
Yes, you read that right. I'm actually trying to stop being a squatter in my parents' house, and looking around for a place of my own to live (like I'll find any that I -can- live in on the income I have that aren't roach infested stabbing-sites). Anyway, that's going rather interestingly, and found a few that I might like, even if they're out of my price range, which means that I'd likely need to get a new and better job.
The Bad
Anyway... aside from that, which was the -good- news for this go-round, now we get another spiel of bad news. There's hard classes in college, we -all- know that, but I'd think that there's a borderline that one crosses and 'hard' becomes 'unreasonable'. My Abnormal Psychology class is crossing that line, I would say. Allow me to illuminate my point:
1) The instructor had a stroke and refuses (I used to say 'can't', but now I have heard that this is actually a teaching technique he uses, much to everyone's annoyance) to speak louder than a mumble.
2) He refuses to answer any questions in class, since he thinks that non-psychology majors will understand the answers and doesn't want to confuse them (this is an upper level course... if I took an upper level accounting course, I can be **** sure that they'd expect me to be on their level. You don't teach -down- to someone.)
3) The class average for the first exam was a 69. I don't care how you spin that, but even if you use a bell curve, that's almost a standard deviation away from the mean! The mean -should- be a 75! And yet, despite this little discrepancy, he does not say that there was a problem.
4) He refuses to admit that he's wrong, and even tests over his wrong answers!
5) There is little idea of what to study, since he covers subjects X, Y, and Z, giving us the impression to study that material, when really he wanted material U, V, and W.
Anyway, enough ranting.. if you guys have any tips for the apartment hunting, lemme know, since this is not exactly something I do everyday.
((Oh yes, and thank you Rohar for the subscription, which made this nasty rant at least appear pretty))

What is the value of life? Can you put a set amount of compensation for the pain and suffering you cause another? What more could you gain with a single spot of heed paid to Life's awareness? What more could you have with a love for life? ~Short from RP's

I like the idea of chocolate cake better than the cake itself.
Hah, seriously though. I liked how you didn't become rude or just leave when I 'bared my teeth' so to speak. Not many people do that. Best of luck with your schooling, writing and all that! I'm sure you'll create a fictional work one of these days, and get that psych degree!

It's rather hard to get me enraged, or at least out-of-character... most of my characters either tend to be ice cold or living emotional firebombs. I enjoyed our conversation, and hopefully I'll catch you again!
Until then, Fair winds follow you,
