Stupid Scheduling

Well, first let me just bitch about how much I hate to take exams. I don't study enough, and I don't care enough. I hate only being in school for that magic 'C'.

In high school, I always got As and Bs... I didn't try to get them.. I just did. I have never had a drive to do well in classes. So, coming here to UMASS and getting whatever grade came to me for doing whatever amount of work I felt like doing is just a-okay.

But.. exams force me to do work. In a way, they are the only reason I end up learning anything. I know I can't fail the exam, so I study somewhat.. and it tends to be enough for me to pass with a C or better.

So.. today I have a physics exam. It is actually in half an hour. I went to my 9:30am class. Wilson and I spent from 11am until about 5pm in the campus centre doing crap. Initially we were going over the material we picked up at the housing fair (we are moving off campus). Then we studied. Levres came down at some point.. but she didn't want to study so she spent the hours going over next years costs for housing.

Eventually I got sick of their bickering (they bicker a LOT).. no offense to them.. I mean its cute in some ways, but I can't deal with it for too long. So I left and worked on OWLs in the lab here.

I am bitching about schedules tho... school schedules. I started looking at my next semester course load. I am going to take three CS courses and a couple of electives. It's my last year, I don't want it to be at all hard.

Soo... nothing before 10am at least.. but the courses I want to take are all at the same time. I have to take a literature course.. I want to take African-American Studies 151.. because its the only damn topic that looks interesting and its a small class. But no.. its during another class.

So, I'll end up taking some shit course. I don't have time to read a book a week, so I probably will be bitching and moaning come October when I have a mid term.

Bah.
