...sitting in the campus bookstore on my computer. Making a feeble attempt at getting some school work done before my class starts in an hour. The semester is starting to get old. I'm at that point where I am not really that interested in my classes anymore. Midterms #2 start next week and I don't really want to study for them. School just isn't for me. I love to learn and I love what I am learning. I just don't like the institution. It is hard for me to believe that school can actually prepare you for the world. Granted some people enter school unprepared for certain jobs and leave equipped for their careers but I don't think it is the school that prepares them. The majority of learning that takes place is voluntary. One could easily make it through a variety of degree programs without learning much. I have made an effort in many of my classes to actually learn the material because I'm interested in it. The other classes I get the A and receive no lasting knowledge. Some people say that a college diploma is proof that you can stick it out and are therefore more qualified but does that really make any sense? Why would anyone pay that much to prove their stick-to-it-ness? ::end rant::
