What do you assign to Mordor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Scheduling. That most evil time of year in which you are required to plan out the rest of your life and made to believe you have absolutely no time to do anything you actually WANT to do just because you have a riduculous amount of General Education requirements left to fulfill and then you won't be able to study abroad and you are going to be a failure at life and so on and so forth. It sucks. I ought to have it easy for next semester, because I already know three of the classes that I have to take. And yet, I don't know whether to take my theology or my math credit and then where am I going to get my physical activity credits and do you see what I mean? And then, the administration thought it would be a good idea to schedule room draw for the same week! So people are not only going to be stressed out about classes, but also who they want to live with next year and how to avoid living in the "bad" dorms. So, in other words, I'm sending the administration of my school. The Board of Regents, too. I like the president we have, thank you. We don't need a new one.

My French prof. can be sent to Mordor cause he is the most horrible teacher I have ever had. He expects us to know all these different things that he has never taught us the verbs or he has only spent like one class on them!!!!!!!

Aren't verbs some of the most important things you have to learn when you learn a different language!!!!!!
Ok. That feels better, this is such a good threat to rant on.

Scary, mouldy French cheeses. Ew, nasty.

Ears that are still thawing half an hour after you've come in from the cold - it hurts!

Oh and the library not having the books you wanted so you have to stand there for half an hour while the nice librarian lady finds them on the catalogue and orders them in for you.

Learning that the school library has none of the items that you need. Getting an extension on your paper so that you have time to track them down, and learning that the public library hasn't got them either. The draft is due today and I don't actually have over half of my sources in hand. I'm going to have to wing it and edit later.

Cheap nylon carpets.

I couldn't understand why my hair had become so ridiculously full of static electricity. I haven't had this problem since I left school. Then I realised that it is my new assignment in a hospital - traipsing endless corridors on institution carpet has left me crackling and looking like I have been attached to a van de Graaff generator.
