Obligations to Future Generations

What follows is a rather mangled essay that I lashed together in a hurry during the last semester. It seems vaguely related to other recent posts. All footnotes have been removed, so apologies in advance is this leads to any confusion. Please keep all “tl;dr” style comments to yourself.
“Those who have quitted the world and [...]
Hunter S. Thompson on Journalism
Posted on June 12, 2008 - Filed Under Career, College, Life-In-General, Media | 2 Comments
Towards the end of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and having just quoted disapprovingly from newspaper he encounters in Las Vegas airport, Hunter S. Thompson offers the following appraisal of journalism:
Why bother with newspapers, if this is all they offer? Agnew was right. The press is a gang of cruel faggots. Journalism is not [...]
Bedtime and Blog Prospects
Posted on June 6, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging, College | Leave a Comment
That time, many hours ago, when I should have gone to bed. Instead I stayed up, watched rubbish, ate garbage, and then sat at my laptop, riding the web like a true idiot internaut. I didn’t even have anything to do, and I was in fact rather tired, but I still sat here like a [...]
GAMSAT Result
Posted on May 13, 2008 - Filed Under College | 5 Comments
I got 65, which according to some helpful chart places me in around the top 5% of all applicants who took the test. So I kicked its ass. And so I can probably do that graduate medicine course if I so wish, provided I don’t totally screw up my summer exams. So now I’m faced [...]
64%

I can’t honestly claim that I deserve any better for the slapdash effort on my research essay, but 64% still stings mighty hard and throws my hopes of getting a 1.1 into serious jeopardy. Goddamnit.

This image macro sums up my attitude to college this year just about perfectly.
Running Dry on Bad Excuses
Posted on March 6, 2008 - Filed Under College | 2 Comments
Seems like I’ll be handing in yet another late essay tomorrow since I was still sleeping when the noon deadline passed today. What should I say this time? I’m not too familiar with this department, and as far as I’m aware the Philosophy department is relatively cavalier about this these things when compared its siblings, [...]

4 a.m., 1,000 words to write, and feeling miserable. Time to roll out the theme song…
I hate my degree.
I Kan’t Study

Before I was too tired and couldn’t stay awake; now I’m taken on too much caffeine and I kan’t concentrate on his Critique of Pure Reason. Yes, this post is all about the pun. I crack myself up…

It’s close to midnight on Sunday, and I have about half on my Marxism essay that was due on Friday written. I have none of my other essay written, and I don’t even know what the title is. This one is due for tomorrow.
Fortunately, I have a plan. I’m going to turn in the Marx [...]

It’s not easy to write essays when the recommended sources read like this.
Plan of Campaign

I have two essays due for Friday and all I’ve written is the introduction to one of them. I ought to feel about as calm as Bucket Seal.
Fortunately I have a plan, although it pretty much amounts to fraud. Basically, I’m going to hand in one of the essays on Monday (along with yet another [...]

Since yesterday, practicing this has been the overriding goal of my life.
Come on cynics, what say you of my latest plan?

If your sign says you’re open until 7:30 then stay open until 7:30. Or else change your damn sign to 7:22…
House Party

It could be a historic night. There’s an American theme. BYOB.
Update: Just to be clear, this is Liam’s house party. Nothing’s happening chez-moi.
