Facebook killed the radio star. And by radio star, I mean the premise of distributed forums around the internet. And that got got by Instagram/SnapChat. And that got got by TikTok. Where the fuck is the internet we once knew?

The obvious question is: are you studying enough? spending enough time on your problem sets?

Also, wait to see how he curves it before you start to worry.

No, and that's because the problems he assigns are simple. And he doesn't assign many problems. Weekly homework takes up a couple of hours and it's only 4-5 problems a piece, and daily homework is usually just one simple assignment out of the book to check if we've read.

I should start studying and applying it more, though. :/

And his "curve" goes like this:

At the end of the quarter, top 30% of the class automatically get an A. Middle 40% get a B. Following 20% get a C, and "exceptionally poor performance" gets a D/F. With a "high pass" on lab/discussion portion of the class, it tags a + onto your grade (I'm currently headed towards a high pass). A low pass = a -. So, what I'm hoping for is to hit that middle 40% or top 30% by the end of the year with a high pass. I'm OK with a B+... I'm not OK with a C of any kind. :/

So I doubt he'll curve individual grades on midterms and such.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

a bit of a non sequitur here, but i think this thread should be moved to offtopic.

Found out who I'm taking to our winter ball today. Pretty excited for that. I'm flying to NYC to meet her next week. (This story is not as sketchy as it sounds.)

If you care, story:
Was down at my friends house this summer and met one of his friends who goes to school in New York. She said one of her friends who she went to school with (and also a model) would like me, I saw her on Facebook and definitely liked her. I found out today my friend was taking his friend (first girl) to the ball, and I talked to her and she's bringing the other girl for me. Of course if I like her I'll legitimately ask her while I'm up there. I decided I didn't want a blind date and that we should fly to New York for the weekend and I can decide if I actually want to take her or not. If it doesn't work out then at least I get a weekend in the city since right now I'm in the middle of nowhere at school.

The last post was in jest since I haven't been posting drunk stories anymore. And I've given up on it.
