CSU Expository Reading and Writing Course

A waste of time curriculum provided to high schools in California provided by the CSU, meant to torture high school students taking honors and AP classes.

Consists of endless units, each based on one theme usually comprised of several articles. These articles are each accompanied by a 10-page thick list of "activities" that are the most repetitive shit in the world. They ask the same damn question ten times, phrased ten different ways, Sometimes, even more than that.

All meant to get college-bound students to begin analyzing nonfiction texts at a college level. But all it is is a waste of time. Most boring shit EVER.

It puts the "anal" in analysis.

From actual CSU Expository Reading and Writing Course packet:

Activity 12:

"What are two major assertions the author makes in this essay?"
"What does the author want us to believe?"
"What is the writer's purpose?"

Real life reactions from high school students:
Honors English 2 student" I hate this packet!
AP Language & Comp junior: I hate this packet!
AP Lang & Comp senior: I hate this packet! Guess what? IT DOESN'T GO AWAY.

Friend Request Waiting Period

The time after someone requests to be your friend on Facebook or some other social media site. This is a lag period in which the invitee receives the offer, contemplates, evaluates the person's looks, number of mutual friends, other hot friends, and general demeanor before accepting the request. This period is very similar to the "two day rule" when getting someone's digits. By stretching the friend request waiting period ever so slightly, it appears that you are not so desperate for a new friend addition.

Guy 1: "Yo I just became friends with this smoking hot chick other day. You should add her and look at her photos."

Guy 2: "Already tried to add her after I saw you became friends with her. She hasn't accepted my request yet."

Guy 1: "Damn. You must be in the friend request waiting period.... good luck with all that."

waiting line fiction

Low brow, formulaic fiction novels usually only found in grocery stores and drug stores. The only time they do get noticed/purchased is when the individual is forced to wait in line for a long time.

With titles like "No Escape" and "The Final Surrender," Bob figured both novels had to be good...after standing in line for 20 minutes. He only realized what he had when he got home; the novels were both waiting line fiction.

power writing

When you have a writing assignment due soon, but you are nowhere near finished with it.

Jeff: Dude, we have the paper due tomorrow! Have you started writing it yet?
Max: Nope, but I plan on power writing all 8 pages tonight.

waiting for Ricky

The act of spending time waiting for something that will ultimately be harmful or pointless.

1. I can't stand in line for these Spearmint Rhino fund-raiser tickets any more- we're just waiting for Ricky.
2. That guy with his hands in his pocket outside of the club is totally waiting for Ricky.
3. Waiting for rain is sometimes like waiting for RIcky.
