School Sux

It's times like these I kinda wish I just had a job. I know, I don't really mean it, but it'd be nice not to have to do work and think about work all day every day. It's one of those crunch times again, where project deadlines/exams are fast approaching and there are many hours of work ahead.

Today in class I tried my damndest to pay attention but I was hungry and daydreaming... mostly of food. Dr Mavris out of nowhere calls on me and asks me to sum up the point he was just making. This is his favorite question to ask and my least favorite to answer. Of course my short term memory is shot because I was in a haze from daydreaming, but instead of admitting inattention, I stumbled through an answer. Oh it was torture, I had no idea what I was saying or what he wanted to hear. He pressed me for what seemed like forever and eventually someone else asked a question and I was spared.... SIKE then he came back and asked me to sum it up again. It was pretty embarassing cause it is a big class and I was making an ass out of myself. After class though people told me they had no idea what he wanted either, so I felt better.

I swear that half of grad school is realizing that for all you think you learned in undergrad, you really don't understand any of it. Now that my intellectual confidence is reduced to rock bottom, I can start the real learning.
