Words cannot describe how happy I am to be done with my Geology 390 class. While it was interesting on the odd occasion that I actually went, the ability to think “I never have to listen to a teacher say ‘I dont know, even though its on the syllabus and in the book and in my notes, I cant answer your question’” is a glorious feeling the likes of which I have not felt before.
Sweet, Sweet relief.
That being said, there are a few things that I will be missing about school:
1) The girls. There are girls all over the place, and for some reason they all think that in order to go to school they must dress EXACTLY as they would if going to a fancy restaurant or maybe a lesser club. While i never really found this distracting in class, it was an added perk, for sure.
2) Certain teachers. Some of the teachers that I have come in contact with through my vague and wandering journe through college have enriched my life in many ways. None of them actually gave me money, unfortunately, but these teachers actually made school fun. Be it the stuff they were passionate about, the way that they taught, their attitude about interactions with students or simply the fact that they actually knew what they were talking about, there were several teachers whom I will really miss taking classes from.
3) An excuse to go to vending machines. Yeah, I know this is lame, but I dig the excuse to say “hey, Ive been in class all day, I needs me some sugar.” Mind you, this does not mean lovin’, but snickers.
4) An excuse to not be a grown up. This is probably the one that I will miss the most. I can sit on my ass every now and then for an entire day reading and justify it. I have yet to get a full time, labor intensive job since moving to Vancouver becasue I have been too busy with school. Now that that is over, here I come, Real-World.
I’m sure that there are other things I miss, and Ill probably write about them later, but right now I have to go format the Footnotes on the last paper I will ever have to write for school, masters program aside.
