Foam! |
|
|
Today we had a foam party set up by the student government at my college. It was pretty interesting although I myself didn't get in (I didn't enjoy the idea of being in a huge body of water filled with foam with a shitload of other people there, god knows whats in that water and whats in that foam, my concerns are not alone, as I also found out there was spermicide in that foam, I wonder what for...). But it was still cool seeing how that party went down.
In anycase today was my first day at class, and only now do I realize the full extent of how badly my schedule sucks. I have a class at 9am, then at 1pm and finally another at 4pm, each class lasting 1 hour. You see the problem is I live at a rather distance on-campus site, and the shuttle I take to get to the main campus takes about 15 to 30 minutes roughly for a trip from dorm to the bus stop. So I wound up going back and forth today and it felt like a total waste of time. Really sucks hard. I can say however it seems my professors seem alright. My calculus proff. seems pretty cool but its too early to say. My writing professor also seems really laid back. In fact in class today it was almost like he just got up or as if he wasn't really prepared at all, half the time it was clear he was making the stuff up as he went, maybe thats just his style. I can say however the head of the writing department is a total bona fide jackass without even meeting him. Just reading his syllabus which is overflowing with his jackassness gives you an impression that hes a total hard-ass, my suspicions were confirmed when my writing professor said so himself. My Econ class much to my dismay is actually not worth jackshit towards my econ major. However it still gives credit for other things.
*rant with profuse amounts of explicit language*
The only thing I hate about the class is that homework is handled through a paid website, yes I have to pay $28 to register with some fucking retarded ass website in order to turn in my homework and everything. As fucking if tution and book fees weren't bad enough. Sure $28 doesn't sound that much but I'd much rather not cough up a penny for that shit and just turn in a hard copy of homework instead. Hell the website my math class will be using to turn in homework is free, why not this stupid shit? Just those cocky-ass professors who always say "Oh we,'re research professors, we've got better things to do than grade papers, we'd rather just have YOU fork over YOUR money to some stupid website to save my lazy ass some time." I say FUCK YOU. If your so-called research was so fucking god damn important then fucking quit teaching, go find your fucking cure for cancer or write your stupid thesis about some stupid shit.
Its fucking retarded to have a professor who clearly doesn't give a fuck about teaching go into a classroom and tell them to teach. I don't give a rat's ass if they have a nobel prize or whatever, they can shove it up their ass where their head is. There should be a difference between a researcher and a professor. If we as students are expected to put forth effort to do well in the class I'd at least expect the professors to put in at least some decent amount of effort out as well. for fuck's sake put those TAs to work. Or at least find some alternative that is free for use, rather than some stupid website that wants $28 so our lazy professor can skip about an hours worth of correcting what is shaping up to be mere multiple choice problems. Lazy asses

Okay so maybe I'm expecting a little too much from a professor who has to handle 100+ students, but honestly the point here is that after all of our fees and books, asking us to pay money just so the professor and her TAs can save some time grading mere multiple choice papers is crossing the line IMO. At least find some free alternative we can use or pay our fees for us, I can understand the desire to save time, but I certainly am not going to tolerate it at our expense. That or its just me being a stingy penny-counting jackass again.
