I skipped two classes today
I went to the first two
then I just walked off campus to my car and drove home.
These will be the last classes I ever skip.
Unless I go to grad school, I will only go to grad school if I can go for free with a stipend. That will probably never happen. If anyone reading this is a professor and wants to hook me up, please email me at noah.cicero@gmail.com. I will go to your grad school unless it is in the south.
So those will be the last classes I ever skip.
I don't really care about getting good grades this semester. It used to be fun to get good grades. Now I am tired. I know I will pass the classes, it will come. I will open the page with my grades on it and they will have passing grades and it will be fine.
I also learned that YSU never fails people in upper division classes, they just give incompletes. That is really funny. I have met people who stopped showing up to class with six weeks left to go and the professor gave them an incomplete. Also met someone who never turned in the final paper and the take home final and got an incomplete, the professor told them if they can just turn something in they will give them a C.
That is really funny.
College is really funny.
UPDATE:
After reading a comment, it occured to me that this post might imply that I think college is a joke.
I don't think college is a joke.
I learned a lot in college.
It is true, it is not hard to pass a class in college.
But if one wants to, they can actually read everything that is assigned, study hard, and spend time thinking about what they've learned then it can be a great experience.
I mean, because of college I know some spanish, how to do some statistical math problems that take forever to do, and where Azerbaijan is, how cool is that?
UPDATE
It occured to me this morning while walking on campus that I want to take spanish classes at a local community college wherever I move.
Also, I will deeply miss the parade of hoochie shorts that come at the end of spring semester and beginning of fall semester.
Good bye hoochie shorts
I will miss you
and all the legs
a boat leaves the harbor
and realizes the fish
were on the shore

i wanted to go to college.
even if it is a joke.
either way, it's on me.
the joke - obviously not tuition.
Most grad school students, if they're accepted, can work out grants/scholarships/TAing with their schools as a way to pay their tuition, housing, etc. There are even PhD programs that pay the full tuition plus $20K or so per year for five years. A friend of mine's at USC in Los Angeles getting her PhD in Poli Sci and having it all paid for, including her living expenses, by the school.
