(no subject)
I feel like I've lost faith in our school system. I'm tired of sitting in a cold classroom getting talked to instead of being heard. And when I don't fill in that correct circle feeling like a dissapointment or stupid. It's just all screwed up. I'm trying to pick out courses for next year, and I'm thinking of only taking one french course. At first the idea of only speaking french in a classroom once a week scares me, but thinking about this past semester, is spending three more hours a week getting talked at really making that big of a differece for me? I feel like if I want to learn french and perfect it (which I do) then I'll have to do it on my own time. Travelling and talking to old friends and emailing and reading books. The french program is aweful at UMaine, so why am I feeling guilty for trying to not take more?
So my schedual I'm trying to take would be:
M -
T - Environmental Ethics 9:30-10:45
Anthropology of Violence 6-8:30
W -
R - Environmental Ethics 9:30-10:45
French Linguistics 5-8
F -
....and then Buddhism online and a course called "The Sacred Earth; Ecology and Spirit"
I feel like school just doesn't matter in the end as long as you have your degree in your hands people will pat your back and you'll be along your way. But do I really need a college education to be prepared for whatever job comes my way?
