Everyone in my classes seems so apathetic this year.
only 13 people showed up to class today. it seemed like a lot less because the room is so big. and even when people show up nobody does the readings.
im guilty of it too. I only did one of the readings for todays class and even then I barely contributed - i was finding his questions quite hard to get my head around. I've missed half of the classes for one of my modules, what with America, my uncle, and then just random stuff happening that meant i couldnt get there. i really don't think i've learnt much this semester and i'm feeling a bit like...my degree isn't really worth anything if i only study for the assignments and exams, because i wont really have any knowledge.
it just...spreads. most people don't do the reading so barely anyone answers questions in class and you end up falling asleep and not caring whats going on.
its a bit shit really. cos i do love learning. i think possibly its because of the exchange and people are off getting visas and such. but its just a bit crap. i want some enthusiasm! cos the texts we're doing are actually pretty good. oh well, i'm sure everyone will be excited about classes in America.
Sometimes...
...I want people to be astounded by my intelligence...
