Title: I got such whiners in my english class.
Post by: Wickedly Yours E on Oct 01, 2004, 02:06:15 PM: It boggles my mind.

I'm taking this analytical reading class cause it's like the ONLY Reading class I have to take according to my reading placement test (OF WHICH I scored 148.5 out of 150 on. Booyah me.) And she's got us reading this book called "Amusing ourselves to Death" by Postman. My Brother had this class last semester with the same teacher, a Mrs. Dambrosia, and failed.
Yeah, it's kind of a hard book. From the chapters we've covered so far, it's basically making points as to how important reading and writing is and how much it's gone down hill. How our culture is best represented by Las Vegas, which is actually fairly true.
The trouble I'm having? Mostly retaining the knowledge. I'll read the book a day prior to class and go "OH YEAH I GET THAT!" and jot down a note...then the next day I'll forget, look at my note..and wonder what I was noting. I've actually taken to rereading the chapter a few times.
SO, I've been doing the work, reading the book, and Yeah a few quiz's on chapter comprehension haven't gone the best way for me, but overall I'm acing the tests, which focus more on vocabulary anyway which I am magnificent at, and doing well.
Why? Cause I'm doing the god damn work.
SO When people I'm sitting next to start to complain about how much work it is, about how repetitive the book is, what a bad teacher Dambrosia is, and how the class supposedly "Sucks"...I really have to resist the urge to growl in a low, menacing manner. Why? Because These guy's aren't doing the work. I know because She has us grade other peoples tests, and I graded the main protagonist of these complaints test....and I can say he's full of shit.
So yeah, I don't like the guy much.

Also as a sidenote, I asked the teacher about my Brothers performance. She said he was quite bright, but he was either the guy who always left towards the end of class or never did his work....and seeing as my brother has a history of doing the former(Never doing his work)....

Oy vey.

Post by: B E C K on Oct 02, 2004, 01:01:22 AM: Yeah, a lot of classes people want to bitch about are nothing. As long as you do the work and don't get daunted when an assignment looks too big or if you happen to fail a test or two, anyone should all right.

Post by: Evil Monkey-Tom on Oct 03, 2004, 10:46:30 PM: You're just pissed because I'm right about the transformers = Dork

It's almost as bad as Naruto, or Yugioh.
Title: I got such whiners in my english class.
Post by: MegatronYES on Oct 03, 2004, 11:11:11 PM: Fuck you. Dont pool Naruto with Yu-Gi-Oh.

God damn, you can be the dumbest mother fucker.....
Title: I got such whiners in my english class.
Post by: Evil Monkey-Tom on Oct 03, 2004, 11:17:10 PM: ....Naruto is the same damn thing as Yugioh. It's a dumbass anime, with super simplistic characters, a horridly drawn out story, and the only good thing really is the music.

Kinda like DBZ, but with Ninjas... oooo ninjas. A real ninja would cut them up and let the red stuff spill out. Fuck Naruto and all the Narutards.
Title: I got such whiners in my english class.
Post by: MegatronYES on Oct 03, 2004, 11:26:49 PM: Holy shit. :angry:

You have never, ever, seen either of these shows. You have to be clinically insane to honestly believe what you just posted.
Title: I got such whiners in my english class.
Post by: Evil Monkey-Tom on Oct 03, 2004, 11:54:33 PM: I HAVE SEEN BOTH. I lack braincells to prove it!

Title: I got such whiners in my english class.
Post by: blanktoe on Oct 05, 2004, 10:53:21 AM: I have only watched the first two episodes of Naruto and I wasn't impressed. I'm not saying the show isn't good. I just couldn't get into it.
Title: I got such whiners in my english class.
Post by: Evil Monkey-Tom on Oct 05, 2004, 11:10:35 AM: Just imagine the fights lasting like the do in DBZ. Naruto is for closet DBZ fans.
Title: I got such whiners in my english class.
Post by: blanktoe on Oct 05, 2004, 11:23:04 AM: I liked the DBZ series the first time I saw it but I would never watch it again.

That almost makes sense. Actually it's an entriely accurate statement when taken out of context of the rest of his range of ludicrous views on television.

Post by: Evil Monkey-Tom on Oct 05, 2004, 02:49:26 PM: Just add ninjas... a kinda pokemon quest thing, and some catchy JPOP music and it's Nartuo. Simple horrid characters, bad stories with the plot wayyyyyy to drawn out, and rabid, annoying fans dubbed 'Narutards'.
