Collegiate Whiners

Well, school is going well, though I won't lie and say it hasn't been overwhelming. My classes are surprisingly light in load, but it has been difficult keeping track of what is due when. This is only compounded by the fact that the professors are constantly changing the syllabus without notifying the students until the day before. However, this blog is not about my whining. Goodness knows that's enough. This is more about the people who sit behind me in my respective classes. Whenever the teacher introduces a concept or runs quickly through something, there is, without fail, a murmur of complaints from behind me. "Oh my gosh...", "Why are we learning this?", etc. I'm not saying I dont, from time to time, complain about things, but it seems silly to me that they would complain about a class that they are taking of their own free will. For example, college algebra, in most cases, is only required if you plan on continuing to calculus. There are other math classes you can take. It just is ignorant for someone to take this class when there are at least two other easier choices for people who hate math and never plan on crunching a number again. If you don't need it, why are you taking it? Anyway, I guess it's not that important of a rant, but I find it relevant as I have decided what I want out of life and I'm going for it. Unlike some people apparently... So it was mean, sue me.
