I made a post at the Downloads section with some music, go check it out!
Now then…
Everybody say it with me, “MIDTERMS ARE DONE WITH!”
…Unless of course, yours are not done with yet, in which case I wish you luck on the rest of them. I do not think I did very well on most of mine. Up until this point, I was doing well in the semester, but I really dislike having so many papers and tests at the same time. Then again, it seems like I have been in midterms for a while now. I just had my last one a few hours ago, and my first one, Spanish, was two weeks ago, I think.
Speaking of Spanish, things are kind of interesting in there. It is a five unit course, which is most units I have ever had for a single class. I figured this would mean that I would dedicate hours upon hours of reading, writing, and studying to the subject matter, but this is not the case. The past few class meetings, especially, have been easy. “Demetrio,” my instructor, has been slacking off as of late, not bothering to show up to class, letting us go an hour and a half early, you get the picture. A few wednesdays ago was our exam, which took about 20 minutes to complete. The hardest part was translating slang into proper Spanish, which I sucked at, but when that is the hardest thing you have to do… you have it pretty easy. The following Monday, Demetrio did not show up. Then last Wednesday, we took a field trip to this other room on campus that had a large projector screen and we watched a movie that involved a man raping a girl in a coma. This past monday, we finished the movie about the man raping a girl in a coma. Then today we had a potluck (which I did not bring anything to! ha!), so we got to eat tacos and cheesecake, and we watched a different movie that involved a gay rape. Interesting stuff. Actually I did not watch it. Freddy, who actually carries two sets of headphones around with him (do YOU carry around two sets?) and who has a million games on his phone amused ourselves while the rest of the class stared and he pretended to not watch it. So yes, a very easy course, but kind of pointless. And Demetrio himself… do not get me started on the different ways he has discovered to annoy me. He tries to push so much invalid political information on us… it is ridiculous.
Anyway, this is all to say that my school’s unit system does not make sense. I seriously get five times the amount of credit to watch soft porn in spanish than I do to explain the difference between hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions in my Biology Lab.
Wow, I really do not know what my point in writing all of this was. Anyway. What is the hardest course you guys have taken? Do you feel the number of units you earned coincided with the difficulty of the course? Or have you ever taken an incredibly easy course for a ridiculously high number of units? I know I cannot be alone in this.
