Things Wot I Am Not Pleased With
Dear math teacher,
Look, I appreciate the lack of busywork, but giving us just a few really hard problems a week isn't much better. And I wouldn't be complaining if you had completely not realized that nobody in the class was going to get questions 4 or 5, but emailing us hints at 8pm the night before the assignment is due... yeah, fail.
Dear Latin textbook,
Just because we had 'cognoscere' in the vocab a couple chapters ago (with "cp. noscere" tucked into the etymology even though you never told us what it means) does NOT mean you get to toss the pluperfect subjunctive of 'noscere' into a homework sentence, especially since its entry in the glossary has NO DEFINITION OR PRINCIPAL PARTS, just 'see cognoscere.' Fuck you up the ass and I bet there will only be two or three people in class tomorrow who figured out what verb 'novisset' even COMES FROM.
Dear self,
STOP PROCRASTINATING ON YOUR MATH HOMEWORK and go finish questions 4 and 5. Jesus, it's almost one in the morning.
