don't mind me, i'm just being grumpy, i know the textbook situation is more complicated than that... and as for the multi-guess, well, sometimes that is just life, and everyone is in the same boat, i suppose.
to be fair... around 1/2 of it (the multiguess) seems textbook derived... the short answers and diagrams etc seem more lecture notes derived. because... some lecturers seem to think that that is where their value lies... in presenting content that isn't covered in the textbook. i guess because they think they are so much clearer and more comprehensible than textbook with armies of editors... if they didn't do that then there really wouldn't be any reason for us to go to class... there wouldn't be any reason for us to hear them present content instead of the textbook people doing that too... or simply streaming content from someplace else... lectures from MIT or wherever...
i don't know where they get these silly ideas... but given that they have them...
i don't know what to say.
there was this bit on community... somewhere in season 1, i think... before the show morphed into something else... something about how they had all f*ck*d up their lives somehow... that that was how they got to be at community college. annie OD'd on pills... the football guy hurt his shoulders... whatever... the idea that they all f*ck*d up somehow was what was up with that...
i think that that is how people have been treating me since i returned to nz... like i f*ck*d up somehow. to be the age i am... to be doing what i'm doing at the age that i am.
i guess... maybe it is kind of an attitude that i had of myself... when i was at tech.. but also kind of not... i kind of saw it as my choosing to do something that i really wanted to do...
but i do think that people have been seeing me as a f*ck up. that that is why they have been trying to advise me etc. that that is why they treat me like i'm an idiot now. hmm.
i guess anyone who makes life decisions different to them made wrong decisions. so much better to have married for money or whatever... to have enough money to delegate out housework and childcare... to... i don't know... be walking my little dog around nice suburbs. mmm hmm.
anyway... whatever... i wonder how many molecule kits i need to make amino acids... maybe a little dna...
