Chatter in the Booths

[Tea Ess]

Yeah, I've been there. =/ It's not a fun place. Hang in there; you've come a long ways and just have a little time left until the end of the semester. You can do it!

Hopefully that lessens the emptiness of the void just a little.

Thx bae <3

Actually, they're not that bad. I got a 96 on one of them, I technically still have to do work on one that I did this morning (it was a Photoshop project, and I also have to do a graded discussion that opens tomorrow), and I'm in the middle of one right now—which sounds bad, except that it's my Drawing II final, which basically consists of all the students displaying their work on the walls and the floors of the studios and the hallways of the art building and leaving to let our professors have at it.

Also, fun story! I technically have another final today, but it's an online final that opened today and is due on the 9th, and it's open book/open note. But before I got it confirmed that it was open book/open note, I decided to go to a study group, just in case it was fact-recall and I could really focus on the parts I hadn't reviewed as well as the others.

So I get there and it turns out it's not a study group. It's a group of kids from the class who are getting together and taking the final communally, with one person taking it and giving everyone all the questions and then everyone else taking it and "helping" each other. Naturally, I'm pretty angry about this, and I get up and leave the room where this is taking place. Unfortunately, it's a clubhouse in an off-campus housing area and I don't have a car, so I call my roommate and ask her to come get me—which she does, bless her soul. Anyway, while I'm waiting, a couple of friends come out and admit that they don't feel too good about it themselves, and then once my roommate gets there, I find out that everyone in the group decided to call this off and just go take the exam themselves. Which is fine, because it probably means I don't have to report them to the professor and thereby tank their grades, but my question is...why did they need to do this in the first place?

Seriously, it's an open book/open note test. The professor has even okayed the use of the Internet. Literally the only thing we're not allowed to do is consult our classmates while we're taking the test, and yet that's exactly what they were doing. It's like the Garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve get literally everything in the garden to eat from except the one tree, and then they eat from exactly that tree. Like, the deck is stacked in your favor before the discussion even starts, and you still feel the need to cheat?

Wow. I guess people really never change.

[TigerShadow]

As my brother once said: "Persons change. People don't."

[Tea Ess]

Congratulations on the 96!

Was the test graded on a curve? That makes it even more infuriating.

[Miss Friendship]

Can I just say that THIS IS THE CUTEST THING EVER.

[Tea Ess]

*dies from the cuteness*

I miss my dog.

[Helios]

I thought it was a baby seal at first.

[Blitz]

See, cats are evil!

[Helios]

That poor pup has no idea what's coming.

[TigerShadow]

Cats are the superior creatures and we are bound to serve them because they are our adorable fluffy masters.

JUST



LOOK



AT



THEM







Basically cats are amazing and I'll fight everyone.

[Bethany Shepard]

Oh my gosh. Now that I've seen all those cats... today is a good day. Especially the kitten and owl. 10/10

Hey yall. So I'm planning on getting a job this summer (with a ton of hours). Anyone got any recommendations on where to apply? (Somewhere the pays pretty well)

[Tea Ess]

I need a cat.

Lifeguarding is a good one to consider. It depends on your preferences though.

For the first time ever in the history of the Soda Shop, I have more posts than Wooton.

[Doll]

My roommate and I talked about how when we are no longer roommates, we plan on having cats as roommates.

[Helios]

I had a cat. We got rid of her when we moved.

I prefer hamsters. They're more tasty when society break downs and we inevitably turn to pet consumption.

[Tea Ess]

O__o

We recently passed post #123456, and I missed it. Not to worry, just four more years until we get to #234567.

This is indeed a tragedy.

The SS probably wouldn't like a topic that said SS IS STUPID though.

I made my mom and I milkshakes!

Chocolate Peppermint milkshakes, to be precise.

[Helios]

Belle, I am hiring you as my personal dessert chef when I come into my millions. THOSE LOOK SO GOOD OH MY GOODNESS!!!
