I'm cranky because I'm being forced to churn out uninspired drivel by a professor who is a maniac. I get at least 3 emails a day from this fucking guy. Get offa me. And writing a paper on my self-esteem and how my course load makes me "feeeeel" is not serious academia, okay?
What the sam hell has happened to higher education? I'm sorry; but not everyone is college material. Some students should be headed to trade school or on to apprenticeships. And that isn't to put anyone down; plenty of technical jobs are more challenging and better-paying, anyway. Besides, every job is equally important and worth doing well. But I shouldn't be forced to waste scant loan money on mandatory courses like this; particularly when I was already taking classes before I moved here and had a 4.0 GPA.
I am middle-aged now and acquired my life-skills and self-esteem the hard way - in the streets with the rest of the youth of my era.
