im a senior at UCLA. i just got an A on a paper I honestly didnt deserve. not an A-. not a B+. an A.
in this paper, i basically call out thomas hobbes' sovereignty theory and pinch out a great big Cleveland Steamer on its chest. here is my concluding statement:
"Like a school of cannibalistic piranha, Hobbes' theories mercilessly decimate each other[in their logical inconsistency], turning the waters red with its own gore. But these rotting husks of piranha wash up on the banks of the Stygian river of political thought and allow the next generation to grow from the nutrients it leaves behind, allowing the next generation to mutate an extra enlightened fin or logical tooth so that it does not suffer the same fate of previous theories."
Piranha. Cannibalistic Piranha. That is what my sleep deprived mind came up with as an acceptable analogy for my conclusion. Thats what got me an A. Cannibalistic Piranha. that sounds like a thrash-metal band.
top 20 overall and top 5 public MY ARSE. im so sick of this place, with the vacuous sorority girls, retarded frat boys, ambivalent professors and arrogant grad students. im sick of it all.
I came here for an education and am leaving with a meaningless slip of paper. I came here thinking i was at an institution that valued knowledge and its pursuit, not a mockery of it. and now im going to grad school soon. what a joke.
