So yeah, my Accounting professor says I'm failing. With that horror show of a test I handed in earlier, I should probably register for the class again... I hate college. I wonder how all my peers have kids/get drunk/find time for hobbies and manage to do well. I really hate that.

That's what I've been doing since last Spring semester. I remember my cousin (who graduated in 2007 and found a job in the middle of the Great Recession) told me about it.

 

How I remember it:

 

Spring 2010:

Accounting: Old bastard in his early 70s who was apparently from Queens and "remembers when the subway fare was a nickel." Was actually nice to talk to outside of class, but no one did considering all he did to us was bitch about our grades and he would randomly leave class for a good five minutes every class.

English: God Almighty, some people just aren't meant to be educators. There was nothing wrong with her process, but she was so condescending I never really did anything for her other than give her two copies of the same crap. On top of that, that was a late class on Tuesday and Thursday, so I wanted to get the hell home.

Macroeconomics: Another good example of "people that shouldn't be in education." He apparently worked in the finance sector in Manhattan and even helped create tests for stockbrokers and future finance workers in the 1970s, when no one really gave a crap about Wall Street. Had apparently been at NCC since 1981.

Statistics: The only good portion of last year. I didn't take the class too seriously considering plugging numbers into simple formulas was a strong point of mine. Oh, and the professor was hot. She was always on her phone, though, and got pissy if anyone else had theirs out.

 

Really, I don't see myself going to medicine, like every other Filipino has...

So yeah, my Accounting professor says I'm failing. With that horror show of a test I handed in earlier, I should probably register for the class again... I hate college. I wonder how all my peers have kids/get drunk/find time for hobbies and manage to do well. I really hate that.

 

I'm starting to think that college is a farce now. For all of 2010 I hated my classes. I attended all of them but I didn't enjoy them at all. I'm really considering taking a year off beginning with the Fall semester.
