Prisoner flees after asking a guard the way out...

When you think high security..what's the first thing that comes to mind?

Hopefully one of your answers was a prison. So you would think that a prison has a very strict policy involving people entering and leaving the building as well as keeping inmates in check. Guess again.. Read this story:

"FORGET the knotted bed sheets or tunnel. A New York prisoner has come up with a much easier way to break out of jail: ask the guards for the exit.

The inmate, who was wearing a suit for a court appearance on charges of multiple store robberies, simply wandered out of an open cell door and into a courtroom on Wednesday, the New York Post daily reported.

There, he calmly asked a court officer "which way is out?" and the guard - mistaking the escapee for a lawyer - directed him to the lobby.

The daring jailbird went straight to his 81-year-old mother's Manhattan home to change clothes, then left, she told the Post.

"I thought he was discharged. He was all dressed up," she said."

When will I finish?

So if you are in University, I do not need to explain to you the amount of readings there are. It seems as though, once you finish a few chapters for a class, there are another 3 more to read for that same class (because the chapters took you almost a week to read--being 100 pages each and all)... I think you are forgetting that is only one class. Add four more to that and you get: 1,062 pages to read every week, on average.

I have yet to come up with a solution to better this problem. However, I will say that once you get ahead of things, it's easier to stay on top of them. It's too bad that the exact minute the term actually starts (on the midnight of the day of--e.g. I started school on Thursday, so as of Thursday at 12:01 AM), you are already behind. And you can't help this. No matter how hard to try. You get to class, and that's when you realize just how much you're behind--and the term has only been in progress for less than 12 hours.

Would speed reading classes help? In my opinion, no. Only because when you read for a class, you are trying to absorb a lot of the information that the textbook throws at you, so I imagine that speed reading would only hinder that process.

So what can you do? Nothing.. You know why? Because the University and your profs owe you nothing. You are basically a pawn in their money-grabbing game.

That is all.
