This is just because it's Tuesday

I need to make a note here: I hate written finals. Writing research papers about something I don't have interest in is an act in futility. I am not actually learning anything, I am simply looking for something, anything, a useful quote somewhere that I can later cite and regurgitate everything I learned in class. This is a waste of time, and is mentally exhausting.

Honestly, I never thought I'd miss editing all-nighters in the A&D, with nothing but my photoshop, mac, and a solid large-scale printer. Spring semester's photo course load never sounded so appealing as it does in the midst of these mind numbing papers.

I do not care about Henry VIII, public transportation in the UK vs. the US, or socialist theory of gender. I swear, the way they learn over here makes so much more sense than how we learn back in the US, but it's completely useless if we're not learning how they've been learning for the past 4 years. Students over here get to start focusing on subjects when they're 16 the way we do our Junior year of college. The freshmen in my first-year classes here already have two years experience on me. I'm taking classes over here because Tierno says I have to. 

It's so frustrating. I very definitely wasted a semester of "education" in every sense of the US College theory, but I'll never call this trip a waste of life.
