Yes, let's read from the book. That will be fun. And new.

I really hate college.  Grrr.  I'm so tired of this gross blah.  

What I'm really tired of is this whole reading from the book.  If all you call teaching is reading from the book, save me the trouble and remove your attendance policy.  Or actually learn how to teach.  (Ha, yea right).

In my calculus class, he reads from the book.  All the examples are from the book.  Am I missing some magic here??? (I COULD DO THIS ON MY OWN TIME)

In my web technology class, she reads from a website about web design or from power point slides she posts online.  (I COULD DO THAT ON MY OWN TIME TOO).  

And I (or rather my parents) PAY FOR THIS?!?!?!  My parents should be furious.  I am and it's not my money.  But it is my time.  Ew. 

I really try not to wish my life away, but is MAY here YET?!?!

In other news, this is the SOUTH, where is the warm weather?! :|

Until next time,

Real learning is addictive

By real, I mean learning on your own terms by people that actually know what they're talking about.  They've actually worked (or do work) in the field.  Not university professors.

Recently, I attended a conference for SQL Server called SQL Saturday.  (SQL Server is a Database thingy...tech jargon blah blah blah)

I did not do this because work wanted me to.  I did not do this because a class required me to.  It's my field and I went for the pure enjoyment of going and learning legit stuff.  And did I learn????  YES oh my goodness yes.  I was giddy with learning and knowledge and being surrounded by really smart people. 

So basically what I learned is I love learning useful things.  Luckily I'm less than a year away from no longer learning non-useful things.  

Until next time,
:)
