It happened again.

Today we discussed Civil Rights. It soon degenrated into duelling banjoes between two cantankerous students. So here's a duck in a bucket:

Oh, and proof of my insanity:

Teacher, Rid's been reading "Bob Weber Jr's Comix for kids" in class again. ;)

(The lower left hand corner.)

Good catch!

Except I didn't have the reference in front of me.

Final Fantasy 1?

Any of the old Final Fantasies, really.

I love the last one that's so Final Fantasy-eque. :bloocross:

Yes, he did just knock out Lucy and take over her booth. Yes, I did this in class. yes, I participated a lot in discussion and was attentive. No, I havbe not been getting enouogh sleep lately.

Hahaha! 8D Wow. That's awesome!

Sadly, the semester is almost over.

My fixation with this character is unhealthy. And it has nothing to do with my inability to draw faces.

Faust doesn't need any assistance to fly.

Your drawings always make me laugh, Rid. Don't ever stop being you. 8D

Nice detail in the first one. The cracks in the pavement, the sewer drain, the smiley faces on all the flowers. Excellent!

And I can hear ET yelling "Nooooooooooo!!" in the second one. Poor ET, Faust is going too fast for him! 8D

Although I must admit it is extraordinarily sad that I do these in a graduate level class.

And get excellent grades.

For class participation.

Here we go again!

I'm... wow. I'm improving as an artist now. I was going to draw a massive, detailed background to go with this, but then the professor said that next week, we are meeting at Round Table Pizza. She also said that she would try to give directions, but couldn't draw a map.

So I helped!

This is probably more of my subconscious than any of you wanted to see.

Keep this up, and you may need to sign up on DeviantART. 8D j/k I'm enjoying your drawings, Rid. Keep them up!

Oh, so that's what it is. I assumed it was some kind of reference to the Unknown Comic (you know, from the Gong Show).

Anyhow, you're a funny man, Rid. I'd give you an A for mirth-inducing any day. 8D

Genius. Excellent work, dude, really great! ;D

Obviously, those game sprites are not my art. They're just showing off the basis of what I've been doing.

Memorial Day weekend's comin' up. Oh yes.

My semester ended over a week ago.

WHATEVER SHALL I DO?

My schoolyear ends on 20th on June. Subtract the last week, when nobody comes to school, and I have only 3 more weeks of studying! Good thing is I have a very good situation at everything and don't need to work my head off, unlike some of my colleagues. This year was tiring, very tiring for me. How joy it ends in a month!

4 days of finals, then summer.

Hooray for me. :D

although i hate finals, like alot.

While converting a guest room into an office, I found an old gem that I had preserved.

When I was pursuing my undergraduate degree, there was a professor named Dr. Brian Morley. Dr. Morley was an awesome teacher, but I noticed every time that he went home he would carry a HUGE stack of papers, obviously more than a single man could grade. Now, all of the significant essays and homework projects received meticulous grading, but the smaller 2-page papers in each class? People became suspicious that perhaps he did not really read them. And so, I was drafted to find out.

Now you see, most people stick "hidden" text into their papers, like, "if you read this, I will buy you a coffee." Not me! I wanted to go for the gold, to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt whether Dr. Morley reads all of his papers!

And so, I wrote a normal 2-page essay, and added a third page like so:

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y18...theworld01.png
If you are having trouble reading that, it is:
MY PLAN TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD
1: Tie up Dr. Morley
2: Distract Mormons with Tied Up Dr. Morley
3: Steal Golden Plates from Mormons
4: Trade Golden Plates for Cheese
5: Give Cheese to the U.N.
6: Take Over World


When I got my paper back, the grade was as follows:

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y18...theworld02.png

And thus, Part 2 of the experiment: I showed him the paper. Dr. Morley laughed so hard that he bent backwards into an L-shape. From that day forward, every paper of mine that he graded had extra comments involving the text. I miss being in his classes.

8D 8D 8D 8D 8D 8D 8D 8D 8D 8D

I really can't say it better than that. Yup. Don't ever stop being you, Rid. EVER!! Thank you again for brightening my day with a heartfelt laugh!

I graduated on the 23rd!! :))

It feels weird though. Next stop: College. :)))


INSANE!

Enjoy college! Once you fit into the college groove, you'll do fine.

I hatehatehate teachers that breath down your neck.

Science Teacher, you fail at life.

Those who are graduating very soon, I wish you best of luck with it all...sometimes I wish I was still at school, to be honest. Maybe in some ways it was easier then...:(

we got about three or four weeks left. I've got stupid amounts of homework to do between now and then.

LAME!

Update!

Jared Von Hindman is awesome.

A sign of the coming Apocolypse, I guess...this Tuesday, I'm returning to primary school - although this time around it's to discuss the possibility of me obtaining a voluntary position as a classroom assistant, experience which would put me in good stead for applying for a PGCE later on in the year. It would definitely be a step in the right direction. Besides, since graduating from University at the start of the year, I haven't had a particularly huge amount to do. I'm desperate to get back into something.

Actually, what probably is a sign of the coming Apocolypse is the ever-increasing likelihood that I'm going to follow in both my parents' footsteps and go into teaching after all (which takes on greater significance if you knew me a fair while back and how I would react to such a suggestion)...right now I'm feeling strangely optimistic about the whole notion.

I kind of want to teach latin or something when I get older, but my personal experience at high school tells me I'd rather not. :l

I cant really tell how my day at school went. made a collage in fine arts, watched a movie, did some biology stuff, but then I paid a dollar and they let me just go to a basketball game during class instead. best dollar ever. helps the game was actually pretty fun to watch too.

High school, still full of as much drama as before. :gooblab:

Well, I did it. I just need to complete a CRB check (essential if you're going to do any kind of work with children), then back to the classroom I go. I must say, I'm looking forward to experiencing life on the other side of the coin. :)

Congrats JJ! :yeah: Surely this will be a memorable experience, and lead to greater things in the future. Please keep us updated! Oh, and for those of us who like kids, share cute stories about them, too, when you have them. :berry:

Hey wow! That's brilliant, JJ. Fair play to you! Have you got a start date? Those CRB checks can take a while. I bet you can't wait. It'll be an amazing experience engaging with little humans while they're absorbing all the information life can throw at them.

Thank you! The CRB check can take a few weeks, but then the school Easter holidays are coming up anyhow, so it's kind of convenient that a portion of it will coincide with that. I should hopefully get to start some time in the early summer term.

That's great news jekylljuice. I wish you the best of luck, but teaching is something that I personally would hate to do for a career. As for me, things are going pretty good; halfway done with the spring semester and I'll be continuing class throughout the summer, so if all goes well I'll have my Associate's Degree by August. And then, I plan to take a long, loooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggg break afterwards. And maybe a vacation.

Congrats JJ!

I'm not a very social person at school, because I believe in only doing my work. I'm not there to play around. That, and noise bothers me. (But that all from me being out of school for three years, from being sick.) 4 out of 5 of my school days, I usually never say anything.

Now a days I don't get picked on that often. Actually, I've only got 5 comments this whole school year. (Who knew it payed to be unnoticed?!) But when I was younger...gods, it was terrible! I was that kid that had everything wrong with them, medical wise. (I had to wear a back brace from 5-7th grade) I use to get pushed in lockers, beat up, called names, and etc. (I remember bleeding from my ears, because a group of kids threw basketballs at my head. Surprisingly that isn't the most tramatising thing that has happened to me.)

To be honest...I don't have a single happy memory about school. I've accomplished things, like grade wise, but nothing with friends. I had a small group of 5 chums, "The Outcasts", back in eigth. (I currently have none at school. But then again, I'm not really looking for any. Because I have nothing in common with the average teen.)

Anywho, I'm done with my rambling. I just can't wait for college, so I can learn more things in cartooning.

I know your pain, HWH, I too had to wear a backbrace. Now, it's my cousin's turn to wear one for five years.

How ironic: I sent a letter to T.K. in which I also warned him for kyphosis (I mean, he's slightly hunched over, himself, so it'd be good to monitor his kids on that particular point) and half a year later, my cousin was diagnosed with Kyphosis.
