I am so frustrated I could spit.
I need to find my angry little girl icon.
I want to throw a tantrum!
I am in class.... the first half was all about castration and decapitition - - - again.
This prof finds plenty of reasons to use inappropriate words every week - when he has cause (in his view) to use those words, he goes a step better and deliberately aims for beyond crude.
That was the first half of class.
Second half is a movie about coffee as a commodity.
It has to do with Marxist theory - supposedly - except that we have all been there, done that, got the t-shirt - we understand the terms money, labour & commodity.
If anybody doesn't by their last semester of a FOUR year degree in which Marxist theory is visited and revisited every single semester, they should not be here! In fact, it is highly unlikely that they WOULD be here.
7 hours of driving is WAY too much for the very few scraps of actual information I get from this course.
Thank goodness it is almost over.

I think I am going to start skipping every other week until the end.
The ONLY thing I get out of this course is feedback re: my essay - he is very good at that and I do value the time that he is willing to spend talking about it - BUT this is bluddy ridiculous
I agree you drive way too far for it to be worthwhile.
but it SUCKS
I have so much I need to get done
I need to have my draft for ML done SOON.... presenting and defending March 7 - that is less than 2 weeks away!!!!!!!!
plus 4 for history, 1 for this class.... think that's it
lets NOT give him any ideas
I wonder, Jax... probably not really ... but I think I could probably get away with every other

Just keep in mind it will soon be over and you'll have that piece of paper to wave at everyone! I know you can do it!
Drive safely!
Hey, I teach what I find interesting. If you have something better to do than learn how to properly castrate and decapitate a man, I'd like to hear it! :D
Seriously though, your professor is starting to intrigue me, perhaps you should begin to swear profusely on essays you submit to him? ;)
Yes, of course, I went back and read it again! Made much more sense then.
You know what, Flit? Just look at him and think, really hard, Your Mom. It'll make you feel a lot better. Just be careful you're thinking it -- I messed that step up before. Whoa, doagies! Learned a lesson, I did...

this class is absolutely required for an honours degree, although I honestly have NO IDEA WHY - he has yet to give us a clue as to how he wants us to APPLY any of this ~ideology~
I could have CHEERFULLY gotten through the rest of my life without looking at pictures of anyone's bloody tampon ("see, it looks like a penis!" - gee, I don't know...I prefer penises without blood. I'm not that fond of blood to begin with, actually!)
More and more, I'm thinking his point is exactly what he told us one day - I have tenure, and I don't give a **** because I do not have to - even when the daughter of the director of the department is in the class.
it is almost as if he's behaving worse than ever before BECAUSE the daughter of the director is in the class - she lost it today - not the first time... is very moralistic and unable to stay neutral - engages with him and with others and has a hard time backing down from her "I'm always right" stance.
I do not much care for being caught in his point making though.
what is truly aggravating is that it is obvious - when I meet with him outside of class and pick his brain for feedback re: my work - he has SO MUCH he COULD be teaching me ... us.... but he's choosing not to.
Can't you do the course via the web?
This was well written Flit, and that little angry girl icon just tops it all off! Loving the literary flavor and the visual effects!
Blessings Flit ~ and roll on with it! (making sure you report the Professor of course)

Made you laugh didn't I?
