great, i just got an email from my university about what to do if north korea lobs a nuclear missile at us
turns out being #1 in a class is good for more than just the ego and gpa sometimes—my professor just told me i don't have to do the last three assignments OR the final, hell yeah
please don't shorten real analysis to "real anal"
finals week, or, trying to study but stressed, then stressed because not studying, can’t sleep because stressed about not studying, can’t study because now tired and stressed
the irony of my downloading a book from my university's library to research drm and then immediately stripping the drm from it
i almost wrote “droids” in my homework instead of “robots”
i can't believe i just wrote "nice boys!" on my homework
life goal: write and publish one beautiful and creepy short story under a pseudonym that becomes a classic. vanish, revealing no details of personal life. leave countless students to write thousands upon thousands of words analyzing the story, resulting in more words written about it than I'll ever write on my own
The manner in which the Enryakuji monks commonly made their demands upon the court reveals something of the ties that had evolved by this time between Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines. Obtaining the sacred kami emblems of the Hie Shrine located at the foot of Mount Hiei, the monks placed them in a portable car and transported the car to the capital, where they deposited it at a busy intersection near the palace. Since no one dared touch the car, activities simply ceased in that part of the city until the monks, their demands met, condescended to remove it and carry it back to the mountain.
This is incredible, these monks are true icons
(Also: this is Japanese history, but please imagine Chirrut doing this to the Empire. Stormtroopers, of course, have no qualms about destroying artifacts, but Chirrut just keeps bringing in larger and larger definitely holy rocks, not necessarily with actual demands, just making trouble for the Empire)

my university’s history department has a fucking rise of trump class next semester

I really hope that they attract more anti-trump people.
Oh, it’s almost certainly going to be mostly anti-Trump, since my state is one of the most democrat. I don’t know the professor, but I can’t really imagine it going any other way.

for once I am thankful for the fact that my classes are on opposite sides of campus because it means I got to walk past the table of people giving out free pie
This one person's phone went off in class with a Dalek ringtone, and our professor said something like "See, there's another reason I like [person]. Do you all know what Daleks are? Oh, Margot knows. She knows all these kinds of things."
I've literally never spoken to this professor outside of class and don't own anything visibly fandom-y, so how does he come to this conclusion
Well, instead of doing math, my discrete math professor has us watching a movie about a mathematician, which is...weird
(I think I had a teacher show us A Beautiful Mind once, but that was high school. This professor hasn't even given us a midterm, it's weird)
