 Right now I am procrastinating my Mid-Term for tomorrow in my Critical Thinking class.
It angers me greatly that i've had to pay for half the classes I was enrolled in for this year. This one, might just anger me the most.
I am angered that I have to take a class to "teach me" how to critically think. I am angered by my textbook, that someone published a 550 page piece of shit that was in full colour and in no way liberally priced.

This is one of those classes where they make what should be a normal skill of a University student, complicate the fuck out of it, and then throw a test at you where it makes you doubt your own ability to critically think; should you adopt the "knowledge" given to you from your colour printed textbook, or should you use the skills you used to get you into this institution in the first place.
What does this even mean?

(Modus Ponens)
If P then q.
P
Therefore, q.

Excuse me? How about good ole fashion deductive and inductive reasoning; or something our parents used to call common sense?
Fuck the world.

First Year University has filled me with anger. Yes, I have learned a great deal, but it really just has reaffirmed why I hate educational facilities, people with PhDs, and the TTC.

Yes, it is almost done, and I couldnt be more thankful for it.

Hopefully it gets better, because I WILL NOT do this for another 3 years. Unless I do school somewhere else that might be a bit more interesting.
Thanks.
Goodnight.

Ps. History, English and Politics was amazing this year. Why do I have to take stupid shit like "critical thinking and social science"?
So boring.

PPS. If I hear ONE MORE STUPID STUDENT introduce themselves in the following way:
" umm, yeah..my FIANCE was like.."
"Me and my HUSBAND"
"I've been married, so like, I know.."
"Being engaged.."

I will actually blow up the sacrament of marriage because people are so stupid about it.
