Have you ever been in a class and felt as if you were on top of the material only to realize at some quick moment you were completely lost? Professor, back turned for a solid hour and fifteen minutes, dubiously writing on the dry erase board. You trying to scratch down notes, and then getting hit with the fact that you missed something and stopping to ask about it only means your going to be worse off.
Well today was one of those days for me. After deliberately trying to succeed in a class of mine for the last two weeks, I realized a good 8 minutes in today that I have no shot at staying awake in this class for the rest of the quarter. The problem; only 4 people are taking the class! Not to mention these other 3 scholars are smart and I am the fat kid on the tube, being pulled slowly by a boat of mathematical whizzes.
My problem is not that I am behind, but rather that my professor seems to enjoy the material way to much to understand he needs to stop writing on that white board, and start explaining some theory. My other problem is that at the end of the day, what we are learning is nothing but theory, and now I have a new theory = If you take this class and others like it, you will not get a job or meet anyone because you'll be too busy trying to understand what the hell is going on.
Above I have posted a little snippet or sample if you will of a days notes for everyone to enjoy, did I mention of our last homework assignment, about 20 total pages of loose leaf was turned in among us four students, one page (front and back) was mine.....you do the math.
