So today, i have a serious attitude problem, and i need to get it fixed. So i'm gonna vent a little today. I suggest if you don't want to read some serious bitching you skip today. So, today was my big speech in speech class. I sucked hard core. Which kind of made me sad b/c i already get sick every morning before a big speech anyway. Then, this is where the problem comes in. In one of my classes today, i got yelled at for talking in class. I am not angry that i got yelled at in class. I deserved it, i was talking. However, here in lies the problem. She told our class today that her lecture should only be supplemental material and most of our learning should come from the book. Excuse me??!!! No! I figured out how much i pay a year for school (this is not including my rent and stuff for my house) i pay $26,520/yr to go to school at Rose-Hulman. That means that i pay $8,840/quarter. I have 4 4 credit hour classes. That totals to $2,210/class. I do not pay this woman $2,210 for her 10-week service to read a book! The book for this class cost $150. So if i had just gotten the book and not gone to class, i would have saved myself $2,060 for this class alone! Not to mention the time that i have spent in class and doing the homework. I won't even try to calculate that. So needless to say, i have discovered that this quarter, i have wasted over 2 grand on a class b/c all i really needed to do was just read the book. This does not make sense to me at all. And i'm very irritated about it in general. Also it doesn't help that i have another professor who says he'll spend the whole class period going over the homework, and then he lectures for 40 minutes and only leave 10 minutes of class time to answer questions. Does this seem right to you? The last time i checked, a whole class period meant 50 minutes. The only redeeming factor about today is the fact that my boyfriend is taking me out to a nice dinner and then we get to go hang out at the Tap Room for senior night. Also i bought my cap and gown today. That was pretty exciting. I just hope it fits when it comes. But honestly, at that point i don't think i'll really care. I'd go up on the stage naked to receive my diploma if necessary. I'm just so sick and tired of this school. I'm sick and tired of the professors with the imperialist attitudes and just the over all bull shit that goes along with this school. Hopefully going to work (not at Rose-Hulman) will make me feel a little better. Also, i have a new update on the Janet thing. Well, apparantly according to the newspaper today, Janet's little stunt was an accident. Part of her costume was still supposed to stay on. But i've also heard rumors that say it wasn't. I don't know, i watched the clip of her boob incident today, and it seemed like she knew it was coming. B/c she just kinda jerked around to show it off. I dunno, but i'm pretty sure if my boob was exposed on national TV, i'd know it pretty quick and cover up a lot quicker than she did. But maybe i'm just a little more modest in my young age. Well, after calculating exactly how much money i'm losing to this school, i feel a little bit better so i should probably skiddadle to work. Hopefully tomorrow will be cheerier.
