This is Alpha reporting in

So here I am, in my "Causes of International Conflict" class. Basically, this is the study of warfare. In all honesty, it is the class that I look forward to the most. My professor is an under appreciated, sarcastic elitist that I have grown to appreciate. I don't do any of the reading for this class. Chances are, I'll get either a B or a B+. Why? Because the grading scale at this university horrifically misrepresents what a student truly knows. As Omega stated in his last post, formal education is an over inflated idea. He's got a point.

I have my Neurobiology class in about two and a half hours. This is a class in which I really need to study. My political science classes are a joke. I don't do half of the work I normally would for my science classes, yet I will get a better grade in my political science classes. But that's beside the point. I have a fairly busy day today. I have a meeting with a potential writer for my comedy newspaper. I also get to bring my girlfriend to get boba tea and so I can run errands. When I get home tonight, I need to clean my room and go to work. Tomorrow, I deal with the same shit, but different classes. I have to go to meetings. I have to deal with people with whom I don't want. But in the end, it's worth it. I don't get the respect that I deserve and I don't get the attention that I want, but I get to have sex with my girlfriend. And in the end, isn't that what we all want?
