i'm not liking my history class. its not quite like government. karppi still handed out review sheets (o, glorious review sheets!) but the book just isn't cooperating. it has no glossary and no words in bold. it's just sentences and paragraphs. what the hell am i supposed to do with that? i wasn't ever showed how to effectively process raw information. you'll notice that i liked the book when i was reading it for fun, but now that i'm spending tedious hours scanning its selfish pages for reference to Sam Adams, i absolutely hate it. I looked him up in the index and it gave me the wrong page number (everything seems to be on the page after the reference page listed in the index...) and when I did find mention of him it just says "...radicals like Samuel Adams" and then goes right on to talk about something else. It came with some on-line reference materials, but when i tried to access them it told me the server was offline. this book sucks as a textbook.
I'm also not liking my trig class. i was terrified the first day because i overheard some girl complaining about the teacher. she made it sound like he locked his students in the classroom so he could torture them and no one would hear their screams. he does lock the door, but that's only to encourage punctuality. I'm not liking the class because he doesn't give us any notes. everything he writes on the board is in pictures. he talks about the important stuff, but once again i am unable to process raw information. i need it packaged into a consumer-friendly bundle and handed to me. damn public high school, damn it to hell!! also he keeps thinking that we all remember stuff from previous math classes, like that's possible. he seems to think that i'd be familiar with a distance formula with a square root on it. i've never seen it written like that. at least not that i recall.
Speech class is terrifying. I had to make a speech today and it was only the second day. i was shaking so much and then i got really sick later. thankfully, not during the speech. i think it wasn't just nerves, it was also the fact that we're not allowed to eat or drink in class so i hadn't eaten or drank anything for several hours. i usually consume water constantly, especially when its hot. and i get really hungry around 10 am (speech starts at 10:30). i don't think that's fair to dehydrate and starve people and then ask them to try to learn, i think at least water should be permitted. you may say "what about between classes?" but that's only ten minutes and i spend it doing a mad shuffling run across campus so i won't be late. if i could find a way to eat, drink, and run all at the same time and while carrying 40 pounds of books on my back, i'd be much better.
My zoology class is just like biology in slow motion. i'm beginning to wish i'd been brave enough to sign up for physics or even microbiology. besides one of my lab partners being a fat slut with bad weave (she wore pants last class thank God), there's this whiny girl who first day announced that she would absolutely refuse to do any dissections because she found it morally reprehensible. ??? did she not read the course catalog?!? that's basically all zoology is- dissections, taking animals apart and tinkering with their innards. and then talking about it. now chemistry is a nice, non-dissecting science. its about the same difficultly level, so why didn't she take that? i am awed and repulsed by some of my classmates this semester. i guess that's what happens when you go to community college. i suppose its like going to a cheap whore and then being repulsed by her many diseases. i really should have learned to expect a metaphorical rash on my privates after an encounter with CTC.
