My Name is Alex Cornell
I have really bad handwriting. Well, let me clarify, I love my writing, but most people would say it borders on illegible. I think this started as a sneaky way to hide bad spelling, but now it’s just the way I write. What I’m wondering, is how much higher my GPA would surely be if I had super-handwriting. That OR how much lower it would be when they could really read what I actually wrote..
Side note.. I wish I wrote in all caps. I have seen only like three people in my life that do this, but they were all awesome
I bought a new book today. This was exciting, though I felt sort of guilty because I’m currently reading another book. I’m going to try and read them both at once, but it might get too complicated. I imagine this must be what it feels like to cheat on your girlfriend, on a smaller scale of course.
I hate it when people think someone else said something that I in fact said myself. This sucks because you can’t correct them and be like ‘Actually, it was I that made that comment,” because then you just look like a jerk. So what ends up happening is you unjustly start to resent the person that has unwittingly stolen your thought. The funniest thing to me, is when someone quotes to me something they read from this blog as their own thought. I’m like “I know.”
I hate history classes of any sort. The reason is because you can always look ahead in the syllabus and see that the most interesting stuff comes at the end of the semester. And OF COURSE you never get that far. So I’m always like “Oh cool we get to learn about modern photography!” Then the teacher ends up spending 5 minutes on the last day of class apologizing that we never made it far enough to learn about it. Every time.
So I just handed in a test yesterday and I noticed an interesting parallel. Everyone they has ever been to school knows that no one wants to be the first person to hand in their test. Right? If you are the first surely the teacher must think you are incompetent. So what ends up happening is someone just doesn’t give a shit and hands in their paper first, then there is a non-stop flow of people handing in their long finished papers. Someone needs to “break the seal” before everyone starts handing theirs in. Reminded me of what happens the first time you pee while consuming alcoholic beverages… once you break the seal, you have to go all the time!
