College Assignment @ MindSay 
Mark's first homework assignment, the light, breezy topic of:
If the IEP is flawed, who is responsible?
Classes haven't even started yet, and I'm supposed to post on Blackboard my opinions on that, learn the details of 6-8 court cases, and lord knows what else.
I feel a semester-long headache coming on. The last one was the duration of all of junior year. The man will NEVER give us a straight foward, completely done answer.
He's lucky I love him and STILL defend his classes to everyone who rips him a new one but man... what an assignment.
Why is break ending?
The internet sucks this morning.
No, seriously. For the first time in my life I've done the true college-kid thing and waited until the last minute (or more precisely 2 hours before the due time) to write 2 two-page essays for my short story class. Reasoning? Well, I got the assignment last Friday (I know, I know!) and was busy trying to do nothing for the weekend besides working. Then Monday came and it was Bryon's day off so we visited my parents house. Finally Tuesday comes and I'm committed to getting it done.....nope, worked the lunch shift and then ended up opening and closing for dinner too! Got home around 10 pm and started, but didn't get anywhere until crunch time this morning.
Regardless, they're done and I think they are pretty decent. I finished at about 7:45, just in time for me to zip in and out of the shower, jump in the car, grab my latte and bagel at D&D (you wouldn't expect me to give up all my habits for such a silly assignment right?) and get to the campus library to print them off before my 9 o'clock class.
Got to the library 20 minutes before class. Tons of computers open.....odd, but didn't strike me at the time. I sat down and logged into hotmail and waited...........and waited............and waited. Denial flowed freely through my veins until this old lady behind me bitched to a librarian about the slow internet access. Apparently it was campus wide.
ARRRGGG!
I jumped up and nabbed a laptop hoping it would help, which it did in the end. However, on my to the counter I peeked at a few other students' screens. I found the usual......
Career Searches
Campus Pipeline Access
Articles for Papers
..............all with perfectly fine access to them.......
And then I found the most damndable thing possible.
This kid, sitting on a laptop in front of a desktop, yes, taking up two computers, was browsing the PERSONAL ADS!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.......
Regardless of this injustice, I finally got into my hotmail and printed the essays. It was 9:12. I rushed to the classroom anyway in these horrid shoes crushing my pinkie toe...only to find that class is cancelled. Oh my freaken god....seriously!
There were instructions to leave our assignments with the secretary, which I did, and now here I am. Back on a laptop in the damned library sitting amongst idiots straight out of high school searching the personal ads for the love of their miserably pathetic lives.
Bitter? Just a bit.
