Tem salvação.

Na Casa do Cagado

najayo, santo domingo e garotas nuas e suadas

Logo mais parto pra República Dominicana. Segue linkado o blog de um colega meu que explica o objetivo declarado da viagem, com reflexões que são parecidas com as minhas.

Meu objetivo verdadeiro nunca foi esse, porém.

Escrevo um relato quando voltar. Ou passo o link outra vez se gostar do conteúdo. Hehe.

carnivoro = pau pequeno

carros esporte sabidamente emitem grande quantidade de monoxido de carbono. diz-se que o gosto por tal tipo de carro esta' associado ao tamanho inferior (a media da populacao) do penis do tipico proprietario.

a criacao de gado de qualquer tipo tambem esta' associada a emissao do mesmo gas, o que leva qualquer um a obvia conclusao de que o consumo de carne tambem esta' relacionado ao pau pequeno.

Hey Class,

This is from Dr. H. Let me know what your thinking and I will get back to him.

I am aware that Blackboard has apparently overwritten our course or something so that you have not had access the last few days. Unfortunately, given that I have been at a conference since last Thursday, I have not been able to get that taken care of. Hopefully, they will be able to address it first thing tomorrow.

e-mail from D.M.

I vote for postponing the exam. I have been studying the subject and could really do with the extra time and Dr. H's review session. It would also mean that I would have the cast off and could use my right hand to sit the exam. Plus, Finance = Dr. DB's classes.


e-mail from Classmate #2

Group,

Please, please, please DO NOT vote to postpone this test unless you have put some effort into studying for it prior to today. If you think we have not been given a fair shake with the material, then please go ahead and vote for postponement. But if its because you have not picked up the book before today...

And half-joking/half-very-serious is the rest of this email: I haven't treated this like a stats test by any means, but I have put some hours in over the last couple of days. The value of me studying for a econ test that is a few days away = 10 value pts. The value of me doing my sports law paper = 7 value pts.

So 10 - 7 = 3 pts of value achieved by my econ studying.

The value of me studying for a econ test that is in june = 1 value pt.

So 1- 7 = negative 6 pts of value. So postponing this test is really deeming the time I have spent studying as a waste of time. Fine by me if the class decides we have been treated unfairly, but not fine by me if its cause people have just started studying for this test that we have known about for weeks.

e-mail from Classmate #3

As far as the postponement goes, this is grad school, so take your lumps and study hard today. Exam should be tomorrow as is.

e-mail from Classmate #4

I'm with Classmate #3 on this one... vote for taking the test tomorrow.

Value of me taking this test tomorrow = 10 value pts. I understand we all have needs and if you feel the need for more time then then by all means but if you have not made studying for this test at least some what-high on list of weekend do's then I don't think its fair to put it off.


e-mail from D.M.

A different approach would be considering that all the studying you have done so far is not going to waste, and having some feedback on the mock exam could be the difference between a B and an A - and I think most of us do care about their GPA.

I also disagree with Classmate #2's opinion that the exam should be held tomorrow just because that was the original scheduled date. Since the beginning, Hilmer said he was flexible with dates and that is the impression I still get from his e-mail to Classmate #1.


e-mail from Classmate #5

I also agree. I don't think we could just take advantage of professors allowing us to move papers and tests around for our convenience. This is grad school and unfortunately shit gets tough, and in the "real world" we're not going to be able to move report dates around because we aren't quite ready.

Not to say that people voting to postpone the test haven't been studying, but it seems unfair to move the date for people that have put the time in and postponed other work (i.e. contract negotiations and papers) in order to study for econ. As I stated before, I vote for tomorrow.

BTW, if not everyone is reading their emails, there may still be people in class under the impression that the test is tomorrow.


e-mail from Classmate #6 (misinterpreted by D.M.)

I think everyone should just reply with their vote to Classmate #1 and not
email-yell/scold those who want to postpone the test

Unless you know exactly what is going on in everyone's life and how
well they are understanding the material, you really don't have to
right to try and tell people how to vote. That is why it is a
democracy and the professor is offering us to have the chance to ask
questions tomorrow and postpone the test IF that is what the majority
of the class wants. Just place your one vote and deal with it.


e-mail from D.M.

A democracy also allows people to express their opinions, and all the reasoning here may help people who don't have strong feelings about any particular side to choose the option that they think will be beneficial to the group as a whole.

In the 'real world', none of us will be exposed to midterms unless we decide to pursue further academic qualifications and we're studying now so we learn enough and don't have to postpone reports when we get real jobs.


e-mail from Classmate #1

Class,

The Econ test will be postponed. Dr. H will have Blackboard up later today and will address the class then.

If you have questions, comments or concerns please address them to me professionally and I will do my best to respond.

All the best,

Classmate #1


e-mail from Classmate #7 (trying to make D.M. look a bit better)

Hey guys,
I just want to say thanks to everyone for keeping a civil tone during our discussion (e-discussion?) over whether to postpone the exam or not. It seemed to me like the class was pretty evenly divided, and some people on both sides were pretty passionate about their differing opinions; it would have been easy for the discussion to devolve into ad hominem attacks, and I think it speaks well of us as a group that it didn't.

I hope everyone can live with the result, and I hope those of you that have already put in serious study-time will still find it useful when we do take the exam in a couple weeks.

Peace,

Classmate #7.

Dear Mr. D. M.,

I have reviewed the available facts surrounding the recent incident at Peterson Field 620­the lower turf field­ in which, at approximately 10:50p.m. on March 23, 2009, you displayed unsportsmanlike behavior and threw a water bottle & hit another player from the opposing team. I have personally consulted with the ARC Intramural Supervisor who was on-duty at the time, spoke to the Intramural officials and spoke with witnesses of the incident.

I have studied the Intramural Sports Handbook of Rules and Regulations and have determined your actions violate several Intramural policies. For your convenience, these sections are outlined below:

E. Fighting

Any participant, who in the judgment of Intramural Sports Staff, engages in any attempt to
fight (strikes or engages an opponent in a combative manner, throws a punch, kicks an
individual, and/or retaliates against an aggressive act) immediately before, during or after an
Intramural Sports contest shall be suspended from further participation in the Intramural
Sports Program for one year (365 days).

Penalty- Any team using a suspended player will forfeit all games in which the suspended player participated. Any team knowingly using such a player will be ineligible for competition for one year and player’s team may not advance to the playoffs.

In accordance with the above policy and in the opinion of the Intramural Sports department, you have been suspended from all Intramural events and contests for one (1) year from Intramural Sports. You will not be permitted to participate in any Intramural contest until after 3/24/10.

If you would like to file an appeal of this action, you have two (2) business days from the time you receive your notice to do so. Please mail or fax a written letter of appeal within 48 hours of receipt of this correspondence to me. All written appeals will be reviewed by the professional staff and forwarded to the Judicial Committee of the A.S. Recreation Board. If necessary, a hearing will be held at the next available board meeting in regards to your suspension. A recommendation to uphold an appeal requires approval by a majority of the entire A.S. Recreation Board.

Dear Mr. Schaffer:

I wish to appeal my one-year suspension from participation in Intramural Events and Contests. You have taken this action without allowing me the opportunity to respond to the alleged charges and I respectfully request a hearing in front of the Judicial Committee of the A.S. Recreation Board. I have not been allowed to offer any defense on my own behalf. As I understand the rules of law in this country, I should have this right.

I believe in good sportsmanship and have always tried to practice it at all times when involved in sporting activities. As a Brazilian student, I also try to leave a good impression of my country and the sport that I love. I admit that my actions on the evening of March 23, 2009 did not measure up to the standards to which I aspire, but I specifically refute the charges that I engaged in an attempt to fight, strike, or throw a punch, nor did I kick or retaliate against another player as you have alleged. During the match I was the subject of constant verbal taunts and assaults, including sexual innuendos by the other party. Unfortunately, he was able to “push my buttons” to the extent necessary to affect my play to the point of my being issued a yellow card during the soccer match. At the conclusion of the game, the other party attempted to engage me in a fight. I was not the protagonist; rather I was one who was the subject of an aggressive act. In refusing to fight him, I uttered a profanity and was immediately surrounded by him and his teammates. It was at this time that the Supervisor and other Intramural Officials became aware of the altercation. They were not privy to the previous events, the verbal and sexual abuse during the game, or the attempt by the other student to engage me in a fight. All they saw was a group of angry students gathering around me, and they heard me utter the profanity.

I am a frequent user of the ARC facilities, and I participate in indoor soccer matches at least three times each week. There are numerous students who can and will testify that I display and practice good sportsmanship at all time during these games. The event of March 23 was an isolated incident that will not be repeated. I respectfully request that you rescind my suspension.

Sincerely,


D. M.

o copo do poder

por essas terras, stella é frequentemente servida nesse tipo de taça quando se está disposto a beber 900ml de cerveja de uma vez só. um dos raros momentos nos quais eu me sinto importante de verdade.

since i can't get it off my mind

I am the key to the lock in your house
That keeps your toys in the basement
And if you get too far inside
You'll only see my reflection

It's always best when the covers up
I am the pick in the ice
Do not cry out or hit the alarm
You know we're friends till we die

And either way you turn
I'll be there
Open up your skull
I'll be there
Climbing up the walls

It's always best when the light is off
It's always better on the outside
Fifteen blows to the back of your head
Fifteen blows to your mind

So lock the kids up safe tonight
Shut the eyes in the cupboard
I've got the smell of a local man
Who's got the loneliest fear

That either way you turn
I'll be there
Open up your skull
I'll be there

Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls
