Nonsense
So all of my classes are complete and utter nonsense.
Now, those of you who have attended a university (and due to the literacy of my readership, I’ll suppose that’s very few of you) will not exactly find this entirely surprising. I realize, generally speaking, college classes can never be expected to be anything but complete and utter nonsense. However, I do think it takes a certain talent to reach the imbecilic plateau that a few of my professors have arrived at.
For example, there is one fellow – who happens to be teaching me how to finance a business – that uses Microsoft PowerPoint slides to assist his lectures. Now, I’m sure you haven’t cringed in shock yet, as, unfortunately, many professors do indeed use Microsoft PowerPoint slides today, despite their generally uselessness other than making absences even more tempting. But yes, this particular fellow, with the modern technology of computers in every classroom, complete with the equipment to display this amazing technology to students clearly, decides instead to print off PowerPoint slides and place them on a 1950’s model projector, which, shockingly, does not produce legible results. This being, again, the same fellow who is teaching me how to finance a business in today’s remarkable digital age. Right.
Of course, this is merely one example of idiocy, and we all know there are simply millions to be found on a college campus, but, alas, Open Diary does have word limits. Only so many anecdotes can be tolerated, and I’ve yet to do a statistical observation of campus idiocy, though I’m sure such a study would be revolutionary. As such, I will stop here so as to save you your precious time, but while still sending the general message that I feel you need to know.
Which is that all my classes are complete and utter nonsense.
So there.
You need to take some upper-level English classes here. Those are some freaking smart professors. ^_^

Yeah, that’s how I feel about most of my classes, too. But I don’t have any professors printing off PowerPoint and using a projector! Good luck this semester!

That is just bogus.

Oh I wouldn’t go as far as to say they are useless, but they aren’t always the brightest crayons. But yes, using a projector for PP slides is pretty bad…

professors fascinate me. My orgo prof this semester looks like a mix between abe lincoln and the kfc guy (no joke!) and he is probably the age of lincoln too with his slooow talk and looong pauses. oy vey. How do these people come to teach? Were they always like this?
