Haha. Most people would be ashamed to he kicked out of the WA. I am proud: the arrogant government of the Communist Bloc, no matter how much they tell you they werent about to allow me in their ACTIVE raiding squad (I'd get updates on coming attacks), they did. That'd be embarassing to let "some fascist" (anyone who doesnt like them) into their military. They dont know New berstay was mine. Their government couldnt do it. Their counter-espionage couldnt do it. They are weak. They needed moderators. Better be careful Communist Bloc, the Royal CIA is watching

*Notice I did not publicly declassify New Berstay: the nation wasnt even compromised by moderators. I will do so now, Fatty the Marmot. New Berstay became a citizen and was almost enlisted into their military.

That was the so-called WA "cheating" (I had to be a WA member to be citizen and I didn't want them seeing me withdrawing from the WA on this nation then immediately joining the WA on that one).

New Berstay is the one that freaked them out, even their military leader.

Well, don't boast. It's undignified.

As a matter of fact, I am rather annoyed with this tone you're taking. Spy work is not for boasting about, unsuccessful or successful.

It is a little weird how I am always the trouble maker. I really think there is something wrong with me.... The professor today made us do a group project and he saw me get annoyed (a lot of the people at the university know each other and i am really socially awkward) and said "or you can do it alone". Later, he "noticed" (unless he already knew) one person did the assignment alone already. Then he said "maybe it isnt so easy" after talking about how itd be easy and he made us do it alone. And he said "it's all because of one person" and I dont know if he was talking about me or that dude (I think he was trying to get me to think about it). Then he noticed my brain surgery and felt bad. He can get fuc*ed. At least I hope he felt bad, or I am gonna get a B even though I am smarter than all of those idiots. If he wants he can take it down to a C, I dont give a crap. A popularity contest I guess is what college is.

Later I said "sorry" not specifying why and he said "We all have brainfarts". That statement really creeped me out. I don't know if he was talking about my brain exploding or something from brain surgery. Good thing i wasnt high. He probably noticed the incision which the hat almost covers

I'm sorry you are having a round time starting college. I didn't exactly follow your narration of events/opinions, but "brainfarts" is common lingo for "an occasion when one overlooks something simple/obvious" for no good reason. For example, if someone couldn't remember their own name, birthday, or where they are and took a minute to think of it they might call it a "brainfart." Other times its used more generally for any occasion where you said something/did something foolish. So it's not creepy or about explosions.

Keeping in mind that I express this only from experience: I would step back and look at your feelings from this 'event' and, if you do, from what you relate I think you'll realize that its a rather unhealthy combination of entitlement, guilt, and fear. You feel entitled (i.e. I'm the smartest, their idiots), but also guilty (i.e. I'm socially awkward, I said 'sorry'), but also afraid (i.e. there's something wrong with me, I got annoyed, he noticed my incision, it's all about popularity). Everyone feels these sort of complicated combinations of reactions from time to time, though some are better at concealing or controlling it. At root, they are all defensive: a collapse in self-esteem/image followed by attempts to reassert yourself to yourself (but in ways that don't really convince yourself or solve the problem). Every day (with occasional failure) I pray for courage, freedom from anxiety, and purity of heart knowing that these three things together would/do allow me to live well be/become a good person no matter my failures or the myriad failures of others around me. I also frequently remind myself that "I am what I am, nothing more nothing less, may God teach me to humble myself and empty myself out so that I may be filled with him, in the image of his son." The best response to our shortcomings/fears/failures and even our successes/gifts is humility, which is endless: we have to acknowledge that we can't overcome our own crap or the 'crap' around us without letting go of what we are and letting God re-make us into what he is and what we are meant to be.

Maybe I SHOULD have taken online classes. At Lincoln Land community college, the online classes were very hard, probably because they cant SEE that you are "participating" whatever the hell that means. I know the stuff, what else matters? My macroeconomics teacher gave me an 89.99 percent for acting up in class (had a laugh attack (almost hyperventilating) after talking about copyright laws and how Disney sued some guy who made a "Donald Duck is a Heroine Addict" t-shirt). That is just how I am. The online classes, despite being way harder, I got A's in almost all (the English teacher asked if she could use my essays for future classes) and got a partial academic scholarship. But I can't SPEAK how I WRITE. Much less fluent, very nervous, I can't do speeches well. So I got participation points off of the ONLINE "Discussion board", which I CAN do well because I can write. By the way, I am using my phone right now so this is not how I usually write. But I'll just stop making jokes. It may have also been a joke that I genuinely think he didnt care about: I asked the person next to me if we could let the girl into our group who the teacher was trying to find a group for. It was a joke that the girl was hot. He may have heard me because he said "yeah I dont know if a group of 4 guys is the right one for you". Anyway, I will stop telling jokes. People usually find them (and/or myself, I dont know) creepy and I really dont know why.

Haha, got the thing that was supposed to be a group project done in a half hour. Way better than if it had been a group project. I am not stupid like your other students (but he will still give me a bad grade).

I mean, I think he is gonna take my grade down for the ATTITUDE. Because that's what class seems to be about. He saw me get really annoyed. (Rolling my eyes and breathing out heavily). It really isnt fair that I should have to do the work of a bunch of idiots (I had to go and ANY group because no one came up to me). I think i got in trouble during a group project last year. I did most of the work and a bit*h acted like I needed to do more. So an argument began.

My professors have been surprisingly non-liberal. All of them at the last college were. I have only seen 2 of them though. The first one was nice. He said he was a libertarian. I know the 2nd one wasnt a lib just because I know. You get that lib smell when you are around libs, I cant describe it but I just KNOW. Both of them are male though. I have a feeling the Business ETHICS teacher will be a real lib. I have done her first discussion about racism. I got a lib sense from her post on "Canvas" (we can see our classes and grades). Long, bitc*y post on how "I dont grade on opinions, I dont care about your opinion". That statement (and her humungous post on the subject) right there gets me thinking she definitely cares, or at least doesn't know how to shut her mouth. Someone in the past probably accused her of being biased.

The first lecture in my "business organization " (I have to take it) class was on how the professor doesnt need to teach/lecture. He said to the class that "today [the day he discusses the syllabus] will be the only day I am talking. This is not a high school class. Remember, you pay my salary, so drop out if you dont like it. In fact, Id be fun with just 10 of you". In other words, he is giving an excuse not to lecture. A stupid one. Dont tell me the purpose of a teacher (oh I mean a professor) is not to teach and lecture. What the hell is the purpose of going if not. In other words, he wants an excuse to not do anything. Yeah, we paid your [any teacher's] salary through taxes before college. So how about I dont drop out: I will STAY to screw him over (he wants me to leave because he knows I care about my grade and the content). Or i will then contact the university, complain, and give him a bad review to ruin his reputation instead. He doesnt get paid by the student. He gets a salary from the university. He has been bullying me. I arrived early and then he said to the class "If you arrive even 5 minutes late dont come in" and I couldnt tell if he was kidding. I am coming in. It isnt his college, it isnt his room. Like he told us, he is MY employee

*In other words, he is essentially saying it is his job to do nothing except grade things which are based mostly on class participation (the easiest thing to grade I am guessing). You are a TEACHER, buddy. Nothing more. He sure does think he is special. And you work at a low-ranking university which does not require a letter of reccomendation (not that I couldn't have gotten one from my Latin teacher--that is the main reason people take Latin, letters of reccomendation from her). Not something to be ashamed of, but it doesnt make you particularly special.

*I was learning WAY more on those online classes. WAY harder except for the participation factor. They cant SEE you participating so they give you tons of crap. And I was under the impression I actually needed to know it. I am taking notes in class and people look at me like i am a weirdo.

5 minutes LATE, not early. As in, he knew I was worried about getting there late (I think) and wants to get rid of me. Nope. Too late to drop out. You are stuck with me you Indian ass hole. Maybe he should go take an English class and then come back and "teach" (I mean monitor us) "Observational Behavior", info I wont ever need again

LOL, my Indian professor is awesome. I showed him my head and I said thats why I am keeping my hat on until my hair grows back. An ass hole laughed then he said "[his name] did you read the book? Or do you have memory issues?" He sort of turned that dude's smile/laughing upside down. Hey, I didnt say it. I hate many of the people...now 2 group projects in 2 classes. I may fail. I like the Indian guy because HE picks groups. Frankly, that is the fairest way and the way that makes sense for any class. He said "your friends aren't going to save you". Very nice Indian dude.

*As in, the professor was saying it may have been an excuse for me because the kid most likely laughed and said I had something wrong with my brain, intelligence-wise

I made sure to say "thank you doctor" before leaving after he answered my question, unlike my business analytics teacher (who isnt a doctor). It was meant to be a self-depricating joke but it sounded creepier when I went and thought about it....I actually think they may be able to VIEW my "Canvas". As in, view my inbox. It almost seemed like the Indian professor started being super nice and assigned us groups and things after I was asking the Business analytics dude how the hell im gonna finish the assignments. They are ALL group assignments in that class. I dont live on campus... I dont know why a professor would want to make someone's life so hard: he is manipulating the class so that I fail, all because he is holding a grudge. I should write a report on him and see if I can fire him. He is not even a doctor (not that that matters, but the point is the university may not value him as much as my Indian professor, who is a doctor)

I looked at Canvas and the awesome Indian dude ended up putting me with my classroom-bestie who I dont know (haha, he said he wasnt gonna put us with people we have met: as in, not the person sitting next to us)

"Employees need to know what to say....WHEN TO SAY THEM". I felt like that one was directed at me. REALLY directed at me. He saw my eyes (people tell me they can see in my eyes when I am furious) and I think he saw me mouth something almost to the person in front of me because he inserted the "when to say it" while looking right in my eyes. I have a hard time covering up when I don't like someone. The kid kept saying stuffI will say "kid" because he practically is one: this one isnt a hard class. I dont ever get comments and childish behavior from other adults like that (Picking on my height was what he was doing in one instance--he thought he was being funny/clever by moving his head so I couldnt see every time the professor moved and I think the professor knew it, which is why he said that)

We already went over this, man. It's conspiratorial thinking. I guarantee you they're not trying to fail you. Professors just make dumb assumptions, but if you ask nicely and frankly, you can usually get some kind of accommodations from them for disability or accidents or scheduling issues, or what have you.

Glad to hear that one class is starting well, though.

For example, I find it particularly stupid and grating that professors now seem to universally expect 24/7, reliable, convenient, fast internet access from students, at least where I study. Due to a criminal incident early in this year, my smartphone was damaged, and since I had to commute to university, I could not commute in time for an online class that was scheduled for me in-between my in-person classes (the preponderance of online classes then is a whole other, related annoyance). I am firmly of the opinion that internet access should not be demanded or expected, especially at the present time. Even though more people than ever have both personal computers AND internet access in this country, that doesn't mean it's not a huge pain in the ass to deal with it for every single task and procedure and submission and meeting.

Greetings.
As the newly appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs we would like to take this opportunity to greet you and hope for continued good diplomatic relations.

Well you will both be glad to know that my assignments are all individual, when we have group discussions I break up the groups, and I keep the online everything fairly minimal (many assignments are even handwritten).

It is total BS to have group projects. And a pain in the ass. Especially when group members wont respond to emails or things. You may be doing 2 different things: then what? It is not fair. I should've taken online classes because of the fact that I don't live on campus.

*It is fair if you JUST work together in class I think (so not homework), and are able to evaluate each other afterwards.

My region got raided. It is funny because the moderators only enforce the rules when they dislike the player. Most of those were probably puppets (who have multiple WA accounts) invading my region.

I wonder if I could lie and say I dont own a computer OR a phone (the devices he reccomended communicating over). This is a group project (Not an online class, so a computer is not a requirement) and the university doesnt provide us with LAPTOPS (In the class NOT with the Indian professor (and where I have the worst group project) we use desktops, but we cant take those home....Certainly not phones.

When I told the ass hole I had epilepsy and can't live on campus like the rest of the group, he immediately sent out an email after emailing him back and forth over 2 days. I actually asked our university to forcefully accomodate me somehow. Thatll probably make him hate me if that gets back to him. I told him I have epilepsy, but I dont know if he was contacted by the university. He was probably afraid of getting fired.

Great job copying off of my "Dubois" short answer over the discussion board. I hate working with little kids. Answers should not be visible until you answer it yourself.....Now that person takes all my ideas and adds some stuff to it. And I basically have to lead the groups in both of my classes, and I dont remember much from my class where I learned Excel. They proscastinate. Unless it is really meant to be so easy that you can do it in a day. They better know how to do Excel. Or I dont know what I'm gonna do. A teacher's pet ruined everything in the ass hole's class. Now we will all be held to his group's standard, because he does all their work alone and apparently knows Excel very well (He can do that, but it is a group project and we shouldnt have to do everything alone: that is why it is a group project. It isnt fair that his FRIENDS should receive HIS grade. It really isnt. I had to find some random kids I dont know)
