The Ole' 96-er
First full day of school today. I am taking Physics, "Health and Wellness", Biology, and Macro-economics. You heard earlier about my physics class, so I will spare you my comments on today's class. Although, I should add that today a guy that I knew when I worked at Best Buy came into the class. He's a pretty cool guy, too. Hopefully that will make it better in there from now on.
Moving forward...
My intructor in macro-economics is a total fruitcase. He looks to be about 65, not that his age has anything to do with it, but I think it'll shine a different light on things once I tell you what happened. He started off by telling us his complete life story, ending at, apparently, just before he left for work this morning. This took up nearly all of the total class period. The last 10 minutes he spent pounding into us the fact that economics is an abstract idea, a concept which at this point I strongly disagree with. How can economics be an abstract idea that, apparently, every person interprets differently? I maintain that economics is, and will remain, predictable. If that is the case, then therefore it cannot be this fuzzy, abstract "concept" that my professor claims it is. He alluded to the fact that everyone has a different definition of love, but I do not think that the two are alike. Oh well, it was only the first day. We shall see where he takes this.
My biology class seems like it is going to be pretty easy. The toughest part is going to be working on these idiot posters that get hung up around the building for all to see and ridicule openly. Why so tough, you ask? Because I am going to be forced to work in a group with a few of my peers for this project. This is not an attractive prospect to me. I prefer to study/work by myself. My experience from the physics lab helps to explain why. The way that the professor has it set up though, if I have a 97% or higher at the end of the semester, then I get to skip the final. This appeals to me. Furthermore, she has made it incredibly easy to get 100% on every single chapter quiz. Actually, the chapter quiz thing is true for my physics class as well, unlimited retries and only 5 multiple choice questions per test. Cheese.
It has come to my attention that I write hideously long blog entries, apparently. Oh well. I figure that if you spent the time to come to my website and read my blog, then you deserve a fairly beefy, as well as descriptive, posting by me. Hence the reason for the title of this particular post. This ties in to the movie quote theme I got started here. Name the movie that the "96-er" came from...
The last quote was from Caddyshack. "So what? So let's dance!"
