A friend of mine never went a certain class last quarter and he only shows up for the midterms and the final exam. Notes from the class are only posted up during class, so you can't even get them outside of class, and often other students won't share their notes -- those science classes are competitive! And I saw him again this quarter and he tells me that he got a good grade in the class. WTF. mellow.gif HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?! He says he never studies though. I don't know if I believe him. My other friend always sleeps in class, but she studies like a day before me, yet she gets a whole letter grade higher than me. And I thought I understood the material more than her. Bleh. =_="

And then my own boyfriend takes classes with me and he never participates in mandatory discussions, but he still gets points for it. He even sleeps and I'm the one taking notes and paying attention. I even studied more than him, lol. I haven't even been helping him in his classes anymore, but when we took some classes together, he would never study and he'd get equal or higher grades as me! That makes absolutely no sense. Why can't I be as good at BSing or multiple choice like he is?!

cry.gif Does anyone else know some people like this or are you someone like this?! HMM?!

Gah. I hate when people use sparknotes get better grades than people who actually read the book. (Happens to me all the time)

<3 sparknotes. But i haven't used it in a while, since the readings I have to do are just articles and excerpts from books. It doesn't help if it's just a couple pages in a 50 pg chapter. D:


lol my boyfriend gets good grades in everything except Math. He has failed math tests before. Quite sad. Even with studying, he'll still do horrible. Regardless, he has beat me in so many classes that we've taken together, ever since high school! And that guy sleeps in class and studies like.. the day of. pinch.gif *gets bitter*
