[editline]20th January 2016[/editline] The rest of my family doesn't believe radiocarbon dating is reliable (its fucking [I]defined by one of the most universal constants[/I]) and that astronomy = astrology and that we can't tell how far away stars are[/QUOTE] Aren't you studying something to do with space? Do they all just think you are studying a lie then? Or do they think that like you are just reading horoscopes all day.
I am Jewish and I ate pork yesterday. God that feels good to say out loud.

They buy that the stars are where we say they are, but that they poofed into existence when god said so. Which doesn't make sense and just irks me, but its not worth debating about. Its probably why I go so mental about my passions. I'm used to suppressing them and not talking about them, or not having an audience who gives a damn :v:
Dragons are cool. Not the overly sexual rrerr bullshit though. That's wrong.

I sat down next to my sis to watch the Madagascar's King Julien series, and now I love this stupid show.
Not very many things can make this "man" cry. But listening to Cats In The Cradle really makes me start tearing up thinking of my passed away dad.
Another argument with my dad. Told him and the rest of my family I'd found a house that would be cheaper than student housing. Immediately got yelled at for focusing on that and not on school. This is after some time ago he yelled at me for making him pay so much for student housing and that I needed to find a place to rent. Every day.
my college girlfriend tried to find a spot to fuck eachother in a catholic church at my step brothers wedding rehearsal we couldnt find a spot : (
a memory of my deep dark past recently bubbled up out of the mire of semi-willful forgetfulness apparently there was a point in my life where I thought Half Life and Second Life were the same game where did I go so wrong

It would be a very nice thing to believe in God, enough to the point that the Catholicism of my grandparents (almost entirely ignored by my parents, siblings, cousins, etc) seems quite tempting. Things like philosophy, the stories of Chesterton with Father Brown, and history have caused this sympathy towards it.

I have one single friend from college, and they're someone who trips/smokes weed often. [sp]He flunked out of his first semester, and the college somehow let him back in.[/sp] It's difficult for me to actually strike up conversations with people out of the internet. I don't think it's shyness, but because of a few other things. [sp]I've a bad leg and flat feet, so my walk's fucked up. I think that people shouldn't be friends with me because I also believe that they probably don't want to be seen around someone with the nickname 'penguin' in high school.[/sp] I'm not even ugly- I've been told I'm even charismatic at times. With that said, another confession I'd have to make is that college doesn't seem within my scope. I barely passed my first semester with a GPA of just slightly under 3. Academia is the only place where I feel like I'm worse, or even yet, subhuman. Everyone in my family is pressuring me too much to pass, and I think I'm just about ready to crack under the pressure.

Doing school stuff while super anxious is terribly difficult, and figuring out the learning process is also hard. High school is no sort of preparation. There is a Coursera course just starting about the science of learning- I'd give it a peek and see if it helps you. You're aren't dumb, college is just a difficulty cliff for so many
I'm clinically insane. I destroy my own life so that I can better understand suffering.
In our M&A class today we did a thing, we all split into 45 groups (about 300 students total) and we had to buy or sell someone else's "company". Everyone had to close one deal with another team, so obviously someone had to get fucked. Negotiations officially started at 4 PM, ended at 5 PM. I met with a team in a closed off conference room at 2:30 PM and negotiated for over two hours, right up to the cutoff, just back and forth like in the movies, super intense. This was technically "illegal" but I made sure there would be no evidence because it is possible for teams to "sue" each other after the fact, so I covered my tracks. No papers, no computers, no phones, no leaving the room - just us until the deal was signed on a pre-printed contract which was written so it would be essentially impossible for them to sue me. I am a team of two and the other guy wasn't here, so it was just me against a team of five. I lied through my teeth. I bullshitted like never before. After two hours of keeping them in that room, I got them to crack and bought them for $14.50 a share. The fair value was $27.75 a share. I screwed them basically out of half because I gave them a final offer right before the deadline that they could not refuse (fail to close = fail the class). Our grades are based on the value of the deal we made so I am pretty confident they placed dead last and failed anyway. I trapped five kids into failing this class and retaking a $10,000 semester of grad school just because I could. I love this class. It literally teaches you how to fuck people. Business school is great.

Truthfully enough, I considered dropping out halfway through my first semester due to the complexity dropped on me. I felt that there was little assistance provided for me. I talked to one of my advisers regarding difficulty and tutoring, and to my surprise, I learned that there did exist some sort of help for those within the profession. The unfortunate part was that it was opt-in tutoring that only took place two days of the week for short amounts of time, which meant that sometimes, they wouldn't even be there- or an endless sea of people would drown them out with their own problems until time ran out. The next step after that would to be taking a personal tutor, but I've had difficulty getting that set up during that semester. It never happened. So, unfortunately, it just looks like I'm going to have to study with more focus this time around. What makes me believe I'm doing so godawful is that I've been taking 12 credits, which is just the bare minimum to be considered full time. I'm probably going to end up having to go 2.5 years for an associates. If I'm doing what's considered so "little," then why am I barely passing? It just makes me feel confused.

I remember my first visit to a sex shop, it was kinda embarrassing to go buy a 12 inch dildo when the cashier was a dude.

This one time during a class the teacher told me to come to the blackboard to write some shit on it. After I finished writting I sat down and saw that everyone in the class were chuckling. Turns out, when I stood up I said "Russia!" outloud. But I couldn't recall saying that at all. I was 17 at that time.

But the problem was, i had to sit there whilst people were laughing for a good half hour more in silence. It was horrible.
