WHEE!!! FUNNESS!!!!!!!!!!

G'day mates. School is repressive of the human spirit. Buckle down, knock it off, bash your brains out by cramming it with an overload of knowledge, crunch times, zillions of papers due, testy professors, zombie classmates, boss sick with the stomach flue, overall, school sucks right now. Why couldn't there be a more relaxed view of school, like Evergreen State College, where students develop their own core study focus, and then do whatever the hell they want as long as they are actually learning and making practical use of their knowledge to get into graduate school and function in life coherently, if not better than those of us who do rote papers and memorization?

Whine, whine, whine. Bitch, bitch, bitch. Moan, moan, groan.

I survive through school. I thrive on the practical side of life, or being able to focus on something and really get to know the topic intimately. Back at my other Uni, I never had any homework, because it wasn't a very good one, but I had time to develop my own personal interests. Something in class would gain my interest, so I would then go and spend hours in the library researching, and wowie! Even WRITE about it, doing my own mini-research papers all the time. It was beautiful to have more freedom.

I think it is very hard coming back to structured school after so much freedom in Olympia, and with such a packed schedule where every minute was a learning session. You could spend four years in college and STILL not learn what I learned in a sixty day session.

And on that note, I'll continue my bitch fest. I've been writing a complete waste-of-time mid-term paper for Dodds class. My roommate raved about this class, but it turns out to be an agh class, where half the stuff I don't understand because I don't have the background of science tucked nicely away in my past. Theorums? Chemical equations? Fludd? Galen, Harvey, Vesaleus, a nd all their mumbo-jumbo science that now forms our modern studies in cells, genetics, yadda yadda?

Continuing on, I'll stop. hee hee.

I look outside and see the gorgeous sun, and the only bit I can catch of it is in racing to my next class, so I cherish my weekends so much I've done absolutely jack squat in the hoemwork department the past two weekends! So rad! So rad. Yet again it is looking like a beautiful sunset, but I'm stuck in kretchmar answering the question, "Using the life and activities of Robert Hooke as a case study, analyze the social, intellectual and political dynamics that formed the historical context of the early Royal Society." Dude. I dunno. And I only missed ONE class period, and I've read the book, and I still do not know.

Staying alive, staying alive, staying allliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
