What it's like on the other side

I would consider myself as a nerd and a goody-two-shoed girl when it comes to studying but ever since the beginning of this semester, I've found myself on the other end.

I used to always sit in front and just scribble notes as fast as I could and even though the subject matter was boring, I'd try to at least listen. You could say I'm doing the exact opposite now and today I even went so far as to draw in class on my laptop.

The fault is obviously mine but I somehow wish that our professors made an attempt to make it a bit more interesting and I immediately lost all interest when she announced "I know this is boring". If you hold that kind of opinion on the subject that you're teaching, why not find a way to make it interesting?

It doesn't help that she literally reads out her slideshows. I just take down notes when she says something else.

Even then, I don't concentrate a lot in class.

Buckminster Fuller made his life an experiment and I guess I'm doing the same now.

First I made my social life an experiment and I got my conclusion and answers so I don't intend on experimenting much with it anymore so perhaps now I'm experimenting on my academic life.

Though I won't take it too far, that is for sure. I'm still going to do my best to keep up my grades.

Well, that's it for now. I should sleep.
