Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. I'm so screwed in my calculus class. My requests for help were pretty much met with a "Just do better" so it's pretty much exclusively on me to overcome how terrible this situation is. Oh, no big deal or anything but my admission to UW depends on this class.
On another note, I was reminded for some reason about a Story Pam Grier told about growing up in the South in the 50's and 60's and how she and her mother (who was carrying her little sister I think) were walking to town in hopes of catching the bus along the way. While approaching a stop, a bus came so they tried to flag it down while running to the stop. It passed them; Then, it passed the stop.
Living in Seattle 50+ years later, I'd see almost the exact same thing happen twice a month. I never made the connection beyond just thinking about how bigoted the driver was until I saw the film she told the story in. I never thought about the young mother the driver passed, especially in the context that it happened frequently enough I noticed it.
That's why the stereotype of "black people time" is so fucking obnoxious. If I was black, and I had some white mother fucker who thinks "BPT" is a real thing waiting on me to do something, I'd take up every fucking second of his I could. Fuck people like that.
