Got a Cell Phone

I have a take-home test for my math class.  It would be so easy to pass this thing to someone who better understands the subject that I almost feel obligated to do it. But I guess "If I cheat, I only cheat myself" and getting a good grade on a low-priority test through cheating will only lead to failure on a high-priority exam.

I don't exactly need to cheat, though. This test is so simple that I'm afraid I will get 100% and she'll expect that I cheated, since such improvement between this and the last test seems unrealistic.

I got an English test and assignment back. English is my most important grade to get into my desired course next year. I got 11/14 on one and 95% on the other. I don't know what % 11/14 is, but it sounds pretty good!

But... I bombed a Psychology assignment. Failed it, even. It was a group assignment, and I wasn't in charge of it. However, I did review and approve it and it looked FUCKING GOOD! The prof didn't leave any notes on why we failed, but it pushed my average in that course down to 69%.

I got a cell phone. Cheapest one I could find. All of my professors talk about how my generation is the "cell phone generation" and act like we always look down on them for not keeping up with modern technology. We're constantly being berated for our use of cell phones in class, and they're always trying to prove their ability toadapt to us based on their knowledge of cell phones.

Yeah, well, I'm a throwback in evolution, apparently.  I know less about cell phones than any given one of these professors. To be fair, they seem to be right. My friends have always treated me like I was disabled for not having one. Again, considering how it limited me, that's a pretty accurate comparison...

But yeah! Bought one. Just a shitty prepaid one at the base plan.  If you call a very minimal amount of time, it's the profitable way to go, but I've made two calls and two texts, and I've already used half my time for this month...

...I don't think I love cell phones. I tried texting, which is basically the iconic mode of communication for my generation. Yeah, that's right, I JUST LEARNED HOW! Anyway, it wasn't so great. Kind of awkward, actually. Simple enoughto learn, but the "taptaptap... pause... taptap... pause... taptaptaptaptap.... pause" seems like  kind of primitive way of typing.

I guess I'm some young person equivalent of being old...
