Once again I find my self sitting in my robotics class bored out of my mind. Which is when I think, "I should write a post for -273 now."
So here I am. I've been in class since 10am, and because I didn't get much sleep last night, I'm pretty tired right now. As an indication of how boring my classes have been today, I wrote a page of notes during my Chief American Writers class that were entirely devoted to what I should post about today. Now I'm sitting in Robotics, typing up a post.
In the previously mentioned Chief American Writers class, we spent at least an hour talking about why, when Coverdale in The Blithedale Romance sayed he "loved" Hollingsworth, he didn't really mean that he was physically attracted to him. I was bored out of my mind. After that discussion, we spent the remaining 30 minutes talking about "love as strangulation." These liberal arts classes are turning out to be very strange.
After a number of emails, I've agreed to go to Sams and generate a budget for the ACM barbeque. I'm not too keen on this, but maybe i can get some of my own grocery shopping done while I'm there.
Back to robotics for a moment. Every few minutes, Dr. Smart touches on a topic that I think might be pretty cool. But as soon as he mentions it, he says "But we'll talk about that later when we discuss [insert name of robot here]." And then he goes back to talking about boring things that are unrelated to the robots we're building in lab. I'm skipping this class on Thursday to go to Happy Hour. I won't miss anything.
