F, P, R
F. My favorite movie. Oh, shit, I’m so bad at this. Ummmmmmm…the first Pirates movie was actually my favorite for a while, and I can’t really recall a movie I’ve seen since that I still enjoy so much so I guess Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl.
P. Why I hate school. I don’t hate school itself, but I hate the way each institute of higher education has become basically a bureaucracy. There’s so much red tape and regulations to do absolutely anything, and there’s too much involvement in the little details of students’ lives and not enough involvement in how the classes are led. Too many of my classes have been too big, and too many of my classes have been led by a) bad teachers who may have been brilliant but unable to properly convey information to students without degrees in their field or b) teachers whose proficiency in the language in which they taught (English) was less than fluent. I don’t give two shits about how many publications my physics professor has if he instills such doubts about his language proficiency in his students that students are unsure on tests whether the words he says in the question are the words he means. We focus too much on compensating for our professors’ blatant shortcomings (which they apparently make little effort to alleviate) and not enough on learning the material. We go for the grades, not for actually obtaining any knowledge. Wow. That turned into a rant. My b.
R. Favorite song at the moment. Brave. Breathe Again. Brave. Islands. Brave. Brave. Brave. (by Sara Bareilles) (also any other song by Sara Bareilles)
