Resolute Posted October 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 1 hour ago, Pax said: Hope things go well, Resolute. thanks man; you and me both. 1 hour ago, Pax said: I pray every day to whatever entity will listen that the universe is fair in the end, and that every individual who has been privileged in life returns in the next one as a three legged dog with fleas and mange. well, that wouldn't exactly be fair considering the absence of any actual volition, but ya, it's still better than nothing (less unfair than now). 1 hour ago, Pax said: and just wish I could be emperor for a day. In the words of Carl Panzram - "I wish the entire human race had one neck and I had my hands around it". personally, i'd say: "i wish all the privileged people had one testicle and i had a nutcracker".

IrmaJean Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I'm sorry you're feeling discouraged and upset. I hear that you feel like quitting school and that you don't think you are smart. Maybe your test results won't be as bad as you think? Even if they are, does that necessarily mean you will fail the course? Can you get extra help? I believe in your ability to do this. I support you, whatever you decide. Intelligence can be complicated, I think. I am just awful at math, for instance, and I can struggle with performance tests, but I am strong in language and psychology and I think I have good emotional intelligence. I don't think it can be simply measured on any one level because there are so many different aspects of it. I share your concerns about our country. It's both disheartening and frightening. My plan is to continue to be myself, do what I can, put one foot forward at a time, and try to make a small positive difference. Sending care and encouragement to you, Pax.

Resolute Posted October 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 i'm sorry you're feeling overwhelmed. just try not to make any rash decisions. i hope you didn't fail the exam and feel silly for overreacting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klingsor Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Thank you both. I appreciate it. Hope you guys are well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Thanks for the shout out Pax. Try to breath and slow down and take things in doable segments. I know in my life often my reaction to the problem ended up giving me more grief than the problem itself. Hope things go well. My best to all.

Small Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 I was telling my niece recently that intelligence is overrated. Why do people place so much emphasis on it? I'm sure most people would rather be healthy and attractive than pointlessly smart. Klingsor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klingsor Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 The problems I encountered during my exam were not intentional; I spoke with the professor and the situation has been rectified. Just FYI for anyone who GAF. I felt obliged to post the conclusion since I went into hysterics about it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
