You mean: "Being bad at planning sucks"?

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #2 on:** February 06, 2009, 08:15:03 AM »

Yes. It sucks so hard. :'(

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #3 on:** February 06, 2009, 03:27:47 PM »

It didn't go great :'(

brawndolicious · « **Reply #4 on:** February 06, 2009, 03:47:05 PM »

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #5 on:** February 06, 2009, 03:48:54 PM »

Both. Lots of participles shit.

Wait, you barely know english and you are taking Latin?

Fragamemnon · « **Reply #8 on:** February 06, 2009, 04:06:29 PM »

back in the day I knew my latin vocab like the back of my hand. I could translate stuff at breakneck speed.

the key to vocab is NOTECARDS. I'm not talking about a few, I'm talking about rain man level, shoebox stuffing amounts of notecards. then drill drill drill like you were john mccain or sarah palin.

I have a stack of over 600 flash cards. It takes 3 hours to go though the whole thing one. :'(

Really this test was just hard because we just learnt the 3rd and 4th principle parts of verbs and with that came like 40 irregular verbs.

don't be a pussy. I wake up at 2am 3 times a week to go to work and do so until 4:30pm

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #11 on:** February 06, 2009, 04:12:15 PM »

People get up early to study? I had a fifty question test [online] and didn't even look at any of the four chapters that were covered until twenty minutes before I started the test. And I ended up with a 92.

Everybody knows that a good nights rest is worth more than the hours of panicked learning you gain.

not exactly. if it's something like an english outline for a final or a presentation, you can easily cram it. it's a really bad idea for a language class though with all the memorization.

Arvie you should jerk off. It releases endorphines or some shit that really relax you.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #15 on:** February 07, 2009, 02:54:06 PM »

Done and done...and done once more.

Diunx · « **Reply #16 on:** February 07, 2009, 02:56:39 PM »

I have like 5 exams next week and only plan to study for the algebra one, will probably jerk off before the others like demi said.

demi · « **Reply #17 on:** February 07, 2009, 06:45:33 PM »

Done that plenty of times. Sometimes you just gotta.

I gotta wake up at 3AM on a Sunday to go work. Bite me.

Plus when I get there, I get to be the only American on a conference call with many guys/gals in India...

I'm not going to know what's going on... my heads going to hurt.

I'll still be drinking and forgetting everything I've spent the last 8 hours studying at 3am.

xnikki118x · « **Reply #26 on:** February 08, 2009, 06:07:32 PM »

I could never wake up early to study. I always just stayed up late and slept until the last possible minute.

TVC15 · « **Reply #27 on:** February 08, 2009, 06:09:23 PM »

I have the last part of one uh my midterms tomorrow. It's basically all terminology. 85 multiple choice questions. Multiple choice means I don't have to study. And I haven't.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #28 on:** February 08, 2009, 06:11:03 PM »

test on wed., haven't studied. don't even have the text book

I should be fine

TVC15 · « **Reply #29 on:** February 08, 2009, 06:14:07 PM »

I also have a paper due tomorrow that I haven't started. I picked an article already to do it on. Needs to be 5 pages or some shit. I'll knock it out tonight when I am drunk and stoned and watching Disco Godfather at a party.

TVC15 · « **Reply #30 on:** February 08, 2009, 06:25:50 PM »

Fuck no, I just woke up at 2pm.

TVC15 · « **Reply #31 on:** February 08, 2009, 06:36:55 PM »

I usually don't go to sleep until 4-5am, duder. You are but a pup to me.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #32 on:** February 08, 2009, 06:54:39 PM »

I was at school at 9AM today. The library doesn't even open till 11 :'(

ch1nchilla · « **Reply #33 on:** February 08, 2009, 07:11:37 PM »

I have to write an essay on Candide right now.

drozmight · « **Reply #34 on:** February 08, 2009, 07:30:58 PM »

right now I'm trying to memorize German vocab...

ugh..

what's with this detachable prefix bullshit. What kinda dumb fuck thought that'd be a good idea.

I wonder what I'd be saying if I were learning English. "Silent H? WTF!"

brawndolicious · « **Reply #35 on:** February 08, 2009, 08:01:50 PM »

What I don't get is why you would take a latin class. At least take french or spanish since you might actually use those some day.

drozmight · « **Reply #36 on:** February 08, 2009, 08:25:29 PM »

Because he wants to read the classics...UNTRANSLATED!

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #37 on:** February 08, 2009, 09:17:13 PM »

Because I'm a philosophy major, and because you do learn a lot about English from it, which everyone will agree I need. Also I would have taken French but as I live in a bilingual country, I was afraid I would get shown up by people who already know it.

ch1nchilla · « **Reply #38 on:** February 08, 2009, 09:35:12 PM »

Ugh... I wish I had time to watch the Grammys. If Lil Wayne wins Best Album I will probably cry.

Oh, that's a relevant reason. But I would recommend learning it on your own or just auditing the class since it's not going to do your gpa any good taking tests like this.

I got an 82 last semester. And it's suppose to get easier for now on.

Taking Latin probably isn't the most practical way to go about addressing your basic grammar and usage problems, though learning the etymology of words will probably help your vocabulary.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #42 on:** February 08, 2009, 10:30:28 PM »

Not the most practical no. While you're here malek. For Critical thinking I have the question

"If the banks are still open, then I better hurry downtown. But the banks are closed, so I guess there's no need to hurry."

That is

If Open(p) then Hurry(q)
Not Open(p)
Therefor Not Hurry(q)

Right?

That's not Modus Tollens right? which is what the answers have it as. It should be Denying the antecedent correct?

Are you asking me if that's invalid? Yeah, it's invalid. You're supposed to deny the consequent (necessary condition)

P then Q
~Q
Therefore, ~P

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #44 on:** February 08, 2009, 10:38:53 PM »

Ok good then. It's just the book had it as valid and I was worried I was stupid.

The logical error is very clear:

If I get expelled from law school this week, I will be depressed
I didn't get expelled from law school this week
Therefore, I'm not depressed!
