School : Rambling Diatribe
Posted by Compubomb On Nov 24, 2006 @ 4:41 am | Visited ( 362 )
As I near the end of the semester right around the corner I realize that I've dropped 2 of the 3
courses I originally registered for, a sum total of 12 units, that being: Calculus 3, Physics 201
with calculus and Communications 100(public speaking). Reasons for dropping these 2 courses include
myself not being compatible with style of a certain professor and or his lack of ability to teach
those who don't know; next reason being that possibly from the start of course I have not been able
to get myself to study long enough to struggle through material or the time of day course is given
or lack of sleep or many other sorts of misdiagnosed potential problems. When everything is said and
done, I went from 12 units down to 3 and the more I think about it, the more I think I am dumb;
could it possibly be that this is just a bad semester out of the 3 years that I've been going to
school to relearn all of that which I did not in my primary through high school years. As President
of Princeton University put it "12k system is broken" and I would have to give him props for
acknowledging that fact because I'm a prime example. I know that I'm not a failure because to get to
where I am right now is a prime accomplishment to be rewarded. At this point, all I can do is shrug
it off for another semester and use right now as a means to prepare for the days to come when I will
have to reassess my abilities to work through the courses.
P.S. I think somewhere
in this diatribe it became a bit convoluted. Suffice it to say that it made sense at the time
