lissa_quonClasses started today, can't say I'm thrilled. History looks to be ok except for the pile of expensive books the teacher wants us to buy.
English looks to be hell, covering material I've already covered in high school, analyzed backwards and forwards and loathed the first time round. We get to cover Antigone again. Honestly, its never Oedipus Rex or Lystrada or any of the other fun Greek plays, its always fucking Antigone. We covered that when I was fifteen,that play...urgh, thats a good chunk of my life I want back.
The teacher also talks about what a priviledge it is to be in her class since we don't use the same text book everyone else does (ours costs 60 something used no clue what the other costs) and she also isn't 'mean' and assign us some horribly taxing 300-400 page novel. Dude...this is college, 300-400 pages is nothing, it should be nothing, what is this stupidity? Honestly, I don't care what the book is anythings better then re reading Antigone and Araby.
This woman also is the one who sponsors the study abroad trips. So after spending vast amounts of money buying her special book and such I also get to listen to her sales pitches for trips to Europe I can't afford to go,because all the money I had goes towards my textbooks this semester.
Looks like I may have to sell my kidney earlier then I thought, damn, I was hoping to save it until I got to art school.
Jamie I'm sorry, I waited for you to show on Gaia but I just can't wait anymore, I've got 8am class tommorow, and Karen leaves damn stinking early.
