Apr. 6th, 2004 08:38 pmback when during my first years of college, z. made a comment that 'a c is a passing grade' and made it clear that he wasn't trying at school because they were too obvious about only caring about the money they were getting from him. at the time, i was a little taken aback - my school was obvious about wanting my money, but i wasn't going to let that stop me from being immersed in my classes.
now, it's 5 or so years later, and i'm at that fed up point. they keep raising tuition and fees and make the hoops harder to jump through. add to that that i need too many classes of just for elective credits and i'm just sick of it. i'm getting overly frustrated with all the bureaucracy whenever i have to deal with it and i'm not enjoying the schooling as much as i should. i resent how homework gets in the way of my pleasure reading, i resent the fact that i can't take some classes that i'd like to take for myself because the art classes offer for credits need too many blocked hours and i can't risk my gpa enough to take language classes.
i just signed up for summer classes, and on top of leaving me broke, the process has been as pleasant as having my teeth pulled out slowly and without anaesthetic and it's left me too disgusted with the process to throw myself into studying for the midterm. and yes, i know that breaking my nose to spite my face is never a bad idea, but i just don't have the motivation : /
