Talk crap about school

For me it starts on the 21st. So this week will be my last before the break. :woot:

Which means Friday will basically be a day where nothing gets done because everybody's going nuts waiting to get out. :yippee:

As a total geek when I was in school, I found this article reassuring:http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/20110510/us_yblog_thelookout/why-geeks-make-better-adults-than-the-in-crowd

Well, you don't have to do a thorough study cause hat would really be hard plus that would bore you... you can just scan your notes- hopefully you have 'em.. Oh, and also. why not try the recall technique... When I was at school( i graduated last year) I would do all studying in school, I was very strict with notes and I follow the whole thread of the conversation done in the room, i have pretty food memory and often time I remember where my teacher wrote it or who said who... something, like that...

I wonder if I would have thought of this if they'd had Craigslist when I was in school: https://gizmodo.com/student-punished-for-implied-threat-after-putting-high-1826289639?utm_medium=sharefromsite&utm_source=Gizmodo_facebook&fbclid=IwAR1tmsRd7XXQ-_7IqTEmL-q_QFGLCRIKOaJgOK0_ywm8X0Pb38fxsqwhuoc&/setsession

Because of the pandemic, they're showing some online classes on one of the local PBS stations. Ran across this: 2(x + 3y) = 4x + y (or some such nonsense).

As soon as I saw it I thought of the first line from Paul Simon's song "Kodachrome":

"When I look back on all the crap I learned in high school, it's a wonder I can think at all." :nut:
