Welcome to the between comics area. In fantastic ANTI-COLOR! The way we see it, coloring things was like some big old innovation or something, so NOT colouring things should be GREAT, right? Ok, so actually, what's going on is rather planned – do not be shocked, color WILL return. We're just doing the easier to do black and white stuff between arcs.
So, like every year on labor day, Dragon Con is going on again this year. And, as has become ritual, my friends won't shut up until I agree to attend at least one day. So, expect to see me there Saturday. When Saturday? If it's Saturday, I plan to be there. I plan on getting shit tanked on what could be considered Friday night (since my friends have a room at the actual hotel hosting which they say will have quite the selection), stumble through the dealer room Saturday and point at things I find shiny, and hit on the scantily clad females and mocking everyone else Saturday night. Screams fun and entertainment to me, I don't know about you. Look for the fat guy in a black The Beatles hat.
They don't tell you about how things work at college before you enter. They tell you “work hard and study.” I say, fuck that noise. According to most professors, you should study three hours for every hour you're in class. That would mean I'd be studying roughly 24 hours per week. Who does this? Ok, I MIGHT come close to this when it's coming close to exam time (cram cram cram OH GOD THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TIME), but likely not.
They also don't emphasis enough how to get money. FREE money no less. They give this shit away! I kid you not. They call it “scholarships.” Did you know there are no limitations to the number of these things you can apply to? You are only limited by your cold-hearted greed, ladies and gentlemen! Oh sure, the LAW says you are ony supposed to spend money on school-related material, but you would be amazed what can be considered school-related. For instance, this copy of Burnout 3? Why, I'm studying the physics involved! I am thinking of writing a paper on the texturing subtle immersion factors, as well as user interface issues. One of my professors at Auburn bought multiple copies of Halo 2 purely for reasearch purposes. Honestly.
Also, work with your school. Not only does this get you in nice and chummy with the staff, it also looks really cool on your resume. Also, you can tell people “I'm working for the Georgia University System teaching Freshmen Java programming pricniples.” You can leave the part about being a tutor out for later.
Now, I am not saying college will ever let you live like a king – far from it. Ramen will be your best friend and ally. I'm just saying, a certain attitude is best applied when considering how hard to work. Make it LOOK like you're doing more for the school than you really are – chances are this will get you perks and benefits you never thought were available.
Also, I promise you – it is a bad idea to go to classes every day. You know those books they give you? They're full of information! So many college students overlook this. If a teacher is just rehashing what is in the book – don't go. Simple as that. Read the book. I know a DOCTOR who got through the entirety of college and only went to class for exams and important dier classes.
What I'm saying is – don't kill yourself. The biggest mistake you can possibly make is working hard.
Some people call me slacker, I wonder why. | |

Hi, I just stumbled across this comic about 15 minutes ago (yes that is exactly how long it took me to read the archive) I just want to say: I like it! Also, to quote Kite, "If a teacher is just rehashing what is in the book don't go." This is basically my entire 12 years of "required" schooling. Except for the fact that I learned the info in the book 2 years prior to recieving the book. And I'm still no better off!
I have one question: if you're smarter than the teacher, is that a bad thing? | |

Here's the wonderfully predictable thing about teachers: they don't really know half of what they're teaching, they're running off various resources, which they use to aid in what they teach.
Long story short, you probably are smarter than most teachers, they just know the academic principle: what you don't know, bullshit. It works REALLY well on most students. The smart ones just know better.
This is the point of lecture notes. Believe me, even if you don't see them: they exist.
The most important things most teachers know is repetition. | |
