stoopbeckAs my hair grows out from the shortest cut I've had since I was born and they had to shave the top of my head to put an iv in, I realise that it's getting more and more 30's silent film. I look like Eluina, who must be rescued by the dashing Robelard in the riveting final act of "Harlequin of Doom" from the emminantly evil Chandra the Nefarious and his Iron Train of Death.... or some such nonsense... not that that's a bad thing, I'm just saying...
I am tired of being spoonfed here. We're college students. I had thought that that meant that we were assumed to be able to read and write and interpret stories, but I guess I was wrong. I just had to sit through an hour long line-by-line interpretation by the professor of possibly the best poem ever ever ever, and I am amazed that people aren't able to get this for themselves. Come on, people. "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." One of the most self-explainatory poems ever... and we must sit through a line by line explaination because you can't wrap your minds around phrases like "Do I dare to eat a peach?" and "I grow old, I grow old, I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled." Gah.
I must say, the only thing keeping me going right now is the prospect of a nap later on... mmmm, nap....

Date: 2004-12-02 06:17 am (UTC)I know what you mean about college students....ahhh....today was my group presentation on the chinese culture relating to health care. As it was I was the one doing most of the work....but it got worse.....I show up an hour before the presentation so we could practice.....and of course 3 of the kids didn't have their poster done or an outline to turn in. So an hour before the presentation their trying to glue together the poster while I type up their outlines. So i ask them why it's not done....the guy said he didn't know how to make it.....wasn't sure if he was suppose to cut stuff and how to attach it. OKAY your a college student about to start the nursing program and you can't cut out some paper or glue it on the poster in a presentable manner.....slight problem if you ask me. 10 minutes before class they were still working on it...and the finished product looked horrible i have to say. But some how it all came together and we did okay.
