Lemme Out
Posted on | November 12, 2004 | 2 Comments
The frickin skeeter is still trying to kill me!!
Can I go outside and play?
Please?
I promise to be really really good! I swears….on the precious!
Ugh, doldrums and a damn mosquito. I want to not have to go to class tonight. I am tempted to skip it too, but I think that would be pushing it since I wimped out on Monday and Tuesday. I resent the fact that Rollins seems to think that taking up a whole Friday evening is justified. We have lives, families and better things to do than to make up a boring ass class. Ugh. I wish it were over.
I think one of the problems I am having with school is that I am uninterested. It’s the same shit over and again; no progression and no real challenging ideas. In the first two years I got the gist of the Humanities department. Sometimes I wish I had switched my major to English. But I love art, history, and religion as much as I love literature. It puts me in a quandary. The core Humanities classes are so abbreviated, leaving me wanting for more. Deeper classes, ones that really delve into the different aspects of historical and artistic times do not exist. It’s all glossed over Cliff’s notes. Not to say that Rollins hasn’t challenged me. It has. But I think next semester I am going to scare myself out of this boredom and really challenge myself. My GPA is decent. If I fuck up, I can make it up. Grades, while nice, don’t define my school existence. I want to be enlightened and moved to think. So, I am going to take the professors that I know are hard, the ones that get talked about incessantly.
For now, the mosquito is buzzing, a part of our plans for the weekend were postponed and I wish I could go outside and play.

Yeah, babe. I know. I was really hoping that the depth of the day program would translate into something amazing at night. But the night program seems to shelter the leftovers and not the prime classes. Such is life, I guess. But I do fear going into a bigger, more intense school and being woefully unprepared.
I supposed I just have to settle for now.

I know that you love your school and it is a better alternative to UCF, but I can’t help but feel that is a bit inadequate in some areas, like the night program is a few professors personal playgrounds, and they don’t really want to allow any other points of view or areas, i.e. no genre fiction, only creative non-fiction, only Renaissance humanities, etc. I was really excited for you when you started there, but I feel a bit disappointed in the school (and I don’t even go there) because I wanted it to offer you more than it has.
