it is just...
i guess i'm starting to see why people are... horrified? at the thought of 'starting over' (at my age) with science.
it seems to be... it does it's thing at the pace that it does. and it doesn't give a sh*t about whether it is in your best learning interests for it to move a bit faster or slower or whatever. it is impervious. it just does what it does. and if you don't just keep your yap shut and follow along as best you can then you are stupid. basically. it is your fault and there is something wrong with you.
i see that there is a bit of fear, actually, when it comes to the kids who get things right right right right right. because... after a while doing the same f*ck*ng thing without an increase in difficulty and... anyone who isn't an idiot gets to the point of feeling like caving in their head with a baseball bat would be preferable to doing yet a f*ck*ng nother one of those equations. or whatever. so... what to do...
the arts.
that's why people go there. sometimes people go there first because they aren't prepared to work. there's a bunch of them, for sure. but often people go there because... well... for the humanity. ffs.
going the other way round... tis just wrong.
meh. i'm just grumpy because... i don't suppose i'll be going to lectures next year. i suppose i'll be staying home checking the online forum incessantly for when the lecturers get round to putting their powerpoints up... at which point i can actually begin my study.
i feel... sad.
but still... open entry... giving people the *opportunity*. that's... what university is all about. yes?
