BEDA Day 2--What to talk about?

Day 2 of BEDA and I do believe before all is said and done, I may run out of topics to cover. I don't want to discuss Glee here that's what my Glee Thoughts and Recaps Blog is for. So, for all of you who may read this, if you have any topics or suggestions on what sorts of things you would like to hear about, enlighten me. Maybe I could even do some quick research on a topic of some sort and give you my thoughts and opinions of it.

Anyways, if I were to talk about my day it would just consist of me working 8 hours and doing laundry afterwards, nothing special. Of course, nothing special really ever happens here. However, as of right now according to the Digitour 2011, in which I have already purchased tickets, on May 8th in Lawrence, KS the Digitour will be coming and Starkid and Darren Criss are suppose to be there. Which is super cool. Wheezywaiter will be there, as well along with some others that I'm going to try to familiarize myself with before me and my friend go. Tickets were only $10 and Lawrence is only 1.5-ish hours away, not too terribly far. I'm super psyched, but if I get there and Starkid AND Darren Criss aren't there I'll be majorly upset. There's also a meet and greet afterwards, so maybe I'll end up with an autograph and picture with them. However, as long as I leave with a Darren picture and autograph I'll be perfectly satisfied, my life would be complete.

Well, my request on my collab channel sixisgreaterthanfive, someone wants me to blog about my Harry Potter class I took a few semesters ago. So, I think that's what I'll talk about tomorrow. Until then, DFTBA and I'll see you soon.

To learn in class, or not to learn, that is the question...

As I sit in class actually wanting to learn something, I realize, I'm not actually learning anything, and what I do learn, is stuff I learned in grade school. Keep in mind, I'm 25 and grade school was a long time ago for me. I have two classes that this is the case for. One of these classes, however, is called 'Earth Through Time,' in which all of the notes that we've done so far. I had with the same teacher two summers ago in a class called 'Earth in Action.' Sometimes, I wonder if teachers, at least college teachers, even try any more? Seriously, what's the point in going to a class where you're learning the same stuff you learned two years ago with the same teacher, but a different class? Or learning stuff that you learned in the fifth grade? Not only is it a waste of my time, but it's a waste of my money to pay for a class, that I know most of the information for already. Furthermore, both of these classes, the only grades that count as part of you grade are the exams. However, although these classes seem quite pointless, some people just aren't good test-takers, like me. So basing your grades only on tests is unfair to those people, unless the test is easy that a first grader could do it, but still it's not an accurate calculation on how well you know the material without homework to show more of your understanding of the material being presented.

My other class, 'Geology of the US,' I have actually learned more from going through my textbook than I actually learn in lecture. This class is so pointless, that on a typical day 30-40 people out of 120 actually show up to lecture. Most of us, are either do the Soduku in our college paper or on facebook, etc. not actually paying attention. Furthermore, he doesn't even follow the syllabus either. Our test this coming week is over chapters 1-3 and only chapter 2 in on the syllabus for next week's test, and 95% of the stuff that's in these chapters we have yet to cover in class, and classes started almost a month ago. So, I'm dreading the upcoming test. On that note, I'm going to start going through my text book and pulling out important info, along with my other classes to get on top of things.

DFTBA!
