Saturday

Lets see, whats new today? Since I had no real commitments today, I splet in till about one in the afternoon and it was wonderful. Then, I spent a few hours in the library reading Angels in America for my Experiencing Theatre class. I found out that was going to be the subject of the essay portion of the final. So I felt it required another read through. It took about two hours and by the end, I was so happy to be done. At least now, I can answer intelligently on the essay portion.

This evening I watched the Nascar race at Richmond which was really exciting and then spent a few hours reading over theatre notes and doing grammar trees. The time seemed pretty well spent and I'm feeling fairly confident on both exams.

Around finals time I am always amazed by how many people admit to failing a course or coming very close. The constant question is "What do you need on your final?" Unfortunately, for many students, they mean, "What do you need on the final to pass?" I think this is so unfortunate. I mean, how do students allow their grades to get that poor? Do they ignore it thoughout the semester and somehow think the problem will go away by the end? It bothers me, and I wonder why people are even here sometimes. I mean, if you aren't hear to learn and better yourself, why even spend the money? Perhaps for the prestige of going to a university? Ugh! It just ticks me off that people seem to think that college is this easy thing... it's not! It takes hard work and commitment.

*Steps off podium*

Any who, that's just something I've wanted to rant about for awhile.

G'Night!
