Random Observations

1. When did the use of grammar become an attractive trait rather than an assumed skill?
I'll admit it, I find that when someone knows the proper use of your, you're or to, too, and two, I automatically find them to be more intelligent. And every time I see a FaceBook update with grammar errors or bad spelling I immediately start to think that the person that posted said status is an idiot. And yes, I realize that you may view that as harsh or whatever, but there's such thing as proofreading...Anyway I find it really sad that proper grammar has indeed become an indication of basic intelligence, rather than an intrinsic skill. Maybe I'll organize a fun run titled "5k for grammar ignoramuses" and get one of those big publishers clearing house checks to present to the winner at the end. But first, they will have to pass a basic grammar test. Or better yet, I'll pair with Zoolander and make the "school for people who can't grammar good".

2. Women who draw on their eyebrows make a serious decision about the mood they want to be in for the rest of the day.
Be careful with all that power. I'm looking at you, Ru Paul.

3. Calculus sucks.
Who do mathematicians come up with integrals and derivatives and all this other stuff that is really not applicable to anything, and then force us to learn it? I'm a business student, not a math student. I highly doubt I'm going to need to know how to take the second derivative of a function. It also doesn't help that my calc professor is one of the weirdest people I think I've ever come into contact with. He has a a pretty crazy beard. Like ZZ Top caliber beard. But he is also bald, so this adds to the drama of the beard. He wears cowboy boots everyday, paired with semi-dress pants and seer-sucker button down shirts. You can imagine how off putting this is. He does not look like someone who teaches calculus, but who makes furniture out in the woods and doesn't believe in the internet. Along with his appearance, he also loudly enunciates certain vowels of words. So he will be going along in a lecture and all of a sudden "as you can see-AAHH, the DERivative is very simPLE and then all you have to DOOO plug in you'RE x AND y VALUes."
It's quite disturbing really.

I hope the rest of you will have a better day than I'm currently having,
