suffocate your lonely fire
I just wrote a mini-thesis on my multi-culturalism teacher's evaluation online. It was about how much I felt her course was irrelevant to my future career because all we talked about was literacy. Ok, yeah, minorities knowing English is a good thing and like, just cuz they don't know English doesn't mean they aren't smart... But seriously, I'm a math person. I think I only read 3 paragraphs about teaching math to a diverse class. That's it. Out of the 4 books and 4 journal articles. I made other comments on the evaluation too. It wasn't mean, it was done in a "constructive criticism"/advice way. I just hope she takes it and adapts her curriculum.
I'm kind of mad at Tim at the moment. Earlier, he made a comment that basically comes down to "This thing that is really important to you, I think you are wasting your time on it". It's true I have been spending countless hours of concentration on a project that is seemingly "going nowhere" -- But in truth, I have learned SO MUCH computer language/programming/terminology/everything in the last week or so than I have learned in the last six years. Easily. I'm practically learning every nook and cranny of Linux. I'm learning how to navigate through things and do all sorts of fancy things, which he doesn't know how to do! Apparently, I've been wasting my time to him. He just doesn't notice that this stuff is actually really applicable to my job (the core knowledge I'm getting), because my job is like 75% computer programming and 25% hardware/electronics. I guess I just don't object to ... learning stuff outside of my direct field or learning it indirectly.
Bah, two papers to write. When to write them...
