Writing and Arithmetic in Practice

Okay, so my math last time was overly hopeful. But I’ve checked. NOW I only have 7 weeks left of school. Seven stinkin’ weeks. That’s 49 days minus 14 for weekends and maybe one or two more for Easter leaving me with a total of 33 days and that’s just over a month, which is about four weeks and only slightly over 28 days. But I have every Thursday off... so that’s another seven days out of class. I believe that makes my grand total of approximate remaining class days... 21. Twenty one stinkin’ days stand between me and a stupid piece of paper and two stupid letters. Isn’t it ridiculous to be putting myself through this for a piece of paper and two letters? Gah. Our society is ridiculous. Stupid paper and letters don’t make me any smarter... just better read than I was initially.

So... I guess it’s obvious that I’m hating my life a little bit right now. Stupid homework. I think now is a good time to invent some new words.

Mectomy: Me- ectomy. The result of attending university and being forced to read and write until you no longer want to do anything you did for fun. May also result in forgetting how to have fun.

Shing: Original form of Ching, a variant of Ka-Ching. When there is a lack of money and ability to afford not only the “Ka-“ but also the higher ranked letter ‘C’.

Combstab: the not at all humorous attempt at murder by comb. Though I suppose that may actually happen in prison scenarios in which case it truly isn’t humorous.

And that’s unfortunately the kind of day it’s been. Prayers for a better day tomorrow. And yes, this post did require restraint and several drafts.
