Today marks a very important time in my life. I'm taking the accumulative test of the last four years of my college career. (I know, some of you are thinking...."Was it really only four years? It seems like it was seven.") In preparation for this test, I've decided not to study for it.
The whole class seems a bit pointless to me to be honest. It's completely unorganized, I don't understand the teaching style, my capstone project was completely irrelevant to anything I plan on doing in life (unless I plan on working as a librarian....for those of you who know me I'm sure you are laughing so hard right now you are wetting yourselves), we have been given virtually no tools in the class to study for this test. So in protest, I'm just going to go in with my No.2 pencil and start filling in the bubbles on my scantron and hope that I pass my capstone class. I can't wait for it to be over.
I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. I heard a girl ask another guy the other day, "How do we study for this test?" He replied with, "Well, since we haven't been taught anything in the class this quarter, I suppose we are supposed to break out our books from the last four years and read through them." My sentiments exactly. What a waste of time.
This is my way of protesting. I realize that the only statement that will be made from my non-studying protest could possibly be that I end up with a really horrible grade and don't pass which leads to me not getting a degree, but for some reason it makes me feel better. It's the same reason I have refused to buy snow tires. I don't like snow. I'm not going to waste good money that I could be spending on my bike or new running shoes, or other athletic performance gear on snow tires for a season that I don't particularly enjoy. This protest affects no one but me....as I end up in the ditch every year or sliding through red lights and getting the finger from various people throughout the community. I just don't see the point in buying the tires. Same as studying for this test. Let's hope that I remember most of what I've learned throughout the years. I just want to get my degree and get out of this class.

Protesting

Labels: I can't stand this class. It makes no sense. I have 70 out of 425 points so far in the class.

now i have to go change my shorts. not because of the librarian, however that does give vent to many a giggle. i can hear your voice now, squalling comments across the room as 'loud girl' picks up the newest edition on life-saving techniques, or maybe 'mascara boy' and his book on make-up artistry. you are congratulatory of course. they will both be smarter now ;)
but honestly, it is all because of the winter tires. i now understand why Madison sits so quiet and still. she is reliving those wintertime thrills you enjoy every season. kudos on rebeling in such a positive way. no drugs for you, its all in the tires, baby!
Your project doesn't apply to your major?? You mean you're not getting a degree in urban planning? Oh. My mistake... ;)
Is it the test that you have to take at the end of the year but doesnt actually count against you? We had one of those...I did the same thing, I was the first one done, Adam was the second. What a joke right? Glad your almost done, hope that test doesn't count.
