I had severe depression in high school and an alcoholic father and no friends. Only different thing now is that I don't have an alcoholic father and my depression ain't as bad. Also, I didn't have the money for a university(Biggest issue!). Now I do because I have a full ride to just about any public university.

I just read the paper last night. :O I've been working on it... Considering I did only my part(the part that was planned) of the research out of a lot of possible research... It's a bit hard to write about shit you know nothing about. :twisted: But I guess ATOT has lots of experience there.

College is all about writing papers you know nothing about...research is your best friend!!

I was also in a CCNA program....though not in high school.
:hmm:

holly hell when did you become a lifer...

6 pages, double spaced is like how much I use for fillers/bs/beating the bush descriptively in 10-20 page assignments

You make it sound like it's hard.. come on it's not.

So is TridenT a woman or a man?

 

[geno]

No kidding. TridenT needs to act his CreepyLevel, not his shoe size.

Over 9000?

 

[StageLeft]

Your not kidding, a lot of people don't even have basic conjugation down.

Do their work, put their name on. I didn't read your block of text because well idk

I've done this a few times. Machines class, the other guys had no clue what we were doing with synchronous motors or generators. I did the entire report, put all 4 names on it, and we did pretty good. I think we were all happy with that


Just for the sake of this thread, I'm going to post a strange facebook note written by a foreign guy. He's a really nice guy but it's hard to understand what emotion is associated with the text.

Follows are some of my questions to Canadian people. After spending almost 6 years living in this native land I still don't have the clear answer just yet. I will appreciate thoughtful answers from you so that I can gain more knowledge about Canada before I leave your country.

1. Why Canadian always say "What DO you TALKING about?" Isn't it very fundamentally wrong in terms of grammar. High school kids say that, professionally trained people say that, even professor. Or it just me with hearing impaired?

2. Why you, Canadian, always try not to be British to American and then try to convince British that you are not American. Don't you realize you don't have time to be Canadian?

3. You put maple leaf on your flag but only very few southern towns has this kind of tree. I dont think I ever saw one in Edmonton? Why didn't your ancestors pick something more specific about Canada to put on flag? Like goose or snow piles

4. King Martin Luther used to say Canadian English is the nicest one among British-colonized countries, if I remember correctly. Did you lose that great reputation by saying "Want some coffee?", which is American, instead of "Would you like some coffee?", which is a lot nicer.

5. Why lucky draw in Canada always come with some stupid skills test question like 1+1 equal how much? I know the law does not allow gambling so business try to turn it to a skill test to legalize the game but is it really the reason?

6. Why housing in Canada is too expensive compared to U.S? Canada is larger in size, richer in minerals. Why don't you guys build more big cities to fit more people and welcome more immigrants?

7. Why Canadian disable people don't like to get others' help?

8. (just added) Why almost everything is holy to Canadian? Here are few of what you usually say: holy cow, holy shit, holy crap, holy macaroni.

(It is hard to sense tone in a written document, but I swear to God this is just coming out of my curiosity, not a place of hate so don't protest against me or kick me out of Canada any sooner than my flight itinerary)

You're just saying this because 99% of foreigners in college are Asian. He's from Vietnam.

Electrical engineering gave it away .
But honestly, before I read your last sentence I could already tell, been exposed to broken/fragmented asian english for a very long time.

And yet again, like flies on sh!t, ATOT gives Trident the attention he seeks.

Jesus christ. I have until June 10th at like 12:30PM before I can fucking abandon this group FOREVER. I'm SOOOO tired of waiting. These people are so much fail, you have no idea.

You really don't. They were so unhappy with the teacher because the teacher told them that they could not tell made up stories without saying they're made up or say claims without a source. They got all unhappy and their panties in a bunch. There is more stupid shit like that (i.e. making up shit because it's "common knowledge."). Final presentation... they keep trying to fuck shit up because they do not understand how arguments or logic works.

FML. Just hoping I get an A. Really hoping.

I would rather scoop my eyes out with a soup spoon than be in a group project with you. I sympathize with your group members.

You have no brain, so you'd fit in.

Ugh, god you fail so hard it's unbelievable.

Sucks for you, maybe you should learn to write better.

I've got a degree in English, I had to put up with idiotic groups, as well. Out of the hundred or so unique papers I've read, maybe two or three were good, three or four were at least readable, and every other paper was the stupidest piece of shit I've ever read (let's presume it's possible for multiple papers to be the stupid-est).

These were written by people nailing A's in classes, even grad students (I only have an undergrad degree; some grad students had to take some of the upper-level undergrad classes I had to take) which shocks the shit out of me. I busted my ass on my papers and I'm a damn good writer; makes me sad to see terrible fucking writers getting A's because they talk to the teachers occasionally, visit them after class, etc... Honestly, I feel bad for most of the teachers because a lot of them were too nice and fell victim to pity and empathy. I'll also assume they also have unwritten 'quotas' / have to maintain a level of non-scrutiny from harshness in order to stay employed.

Anyways...

How will you know if you're a good writer? Start writing stuff to screw with everyone else in class, then let subtly let it be known that you're just writing it to screw with them. I did that for an entire class; every paper I wrote was something written to screw with the rest of the class (ie: page long sentences, insane and thought provoking ideas, etc...).

When anyone asks you the question "OMG WHAT DID YOU MEAN BY THIS," just sit back and say, "I don't know, what do you think it means," or, simply, "I don't know," while cracking a slight grin. Do the same if someone gives their interpretation of your work and seeks your assistance in determining if their response was "correct." Basically, act like a psychologist in a movie and keep turning everything back around.

As an aside, I highly doubt you have the time to pull this off (in the unlikely event you have the talent); it takes a LOT -- you really have to know what you're doing, have to have a substantial amount of time to do it in order to write perfectly, and you have to have the acting ability to pull off any kind of peer/class-wide reads, reviews, or "sharing" (for lack of a better inclusive term).

In the class in which I did this for every paper, the teacher caught on after the second paper (could tell from her comments); she probably found it as amusing as I had. I think one or two other people caught on by the end of the fourth paper, but nobody else did.

P.S. Everything I refer to happened in English classes, with other English majors who had progressed about the same amount through their degrees as I.

P.S.S. You probably don't know your ass from a hole in the ground since I just noticed you complain to your teacher. Stop being a pussy and do what I did: do every project yourself and/or edit everything else does yourself. If you're really as good as you think you are, your group mates will typically accept the changes because they realize what you modified / did was necessary or, at least, better. Just be sure to be tactful in bringing up your changes or you'll hear a bunch of whining (never had this happen to me). Also, your teacher doesn't want to hear your bullshit; stop bitching to them to try to get pity/sympathy out of them (you would get it, most likely, but ask yourself if you really want the undeserved grade or if you want to man up).

I love Trident threads. They make me laugh.

Trident, you're like a non-drug addicted ZJ. That's how big of a piece of shit you are.

Go to my most recent post. Gonna.. go on a rampage/overkill soon.

I know I am not a perfect writer, not even a decent writer, but I know shitty writing when I read it.

I am in a small groups class, and I was semi-randomly chosen to be in this group of six people. One of the people doesn't have English as their native language, so obviously I give them slack, but the others are native and WTF. WHY DO PEOPLE SUCK SO MUCH?! UGH! They're STUPID, BAD WRITERS, OVERLY EMOTIONAL, and UNCREATIVE. >.< I don't want to pick up their slack either because that's what I do for EVERYONE else and that's NOT working in a group. I hate people who are so emotionally charged(AKA go crazy when they don't get what they want) while in groups too, and these people are that.

Hate hate hate hate hate groups.. Only did this class because I thought it would look good on an application for admission. :< Stupid class. I better get an A anyway.

Oh, and if you think I am emotional... I am only bitchin' on ATOT because it makes a bigger reaction from you. I know how you work, and you'll probably deny it now just to try to show me I am "wrong."

tldr, but based on the number of ellipses and random caps, I can conclude that you suck as a writer, so any judgement you pass are without merit.

Haha. ZJ has an excuse. Though, teen hormones are probably nearly as volatile as Slash on speedballs so...
