Unwanted/Unnecessary Opinions At 9:52 PM by: Tony |
So I just got in from my Twentieth Century History class, and it was just terrible.
First of all, the class is about the twentieth century world to 1945, so its all the early stuff like WWW I, WWW II, how Germany became a major power, the colonization of Africa. You know easy stuff like that.
The first class was messed up, because the original room we were supposed to be in, there was no teacher, and someone at the faculty or something printed a paper and put it on the door, and it redirected the class to the engineering building, but the course code on the paper was wrong. I ended up going to the building anyways, but the classroom wasn't history at all, it was stats.
So I figured out that the teacher was teaching from a little eating area and we eventually got to go back into the room, there was about 50 or less people so it wasn't really a class.
So tonight we had the class in the original room where it was supposed to be in the first place. So the whole class was there tonight. The professor was talking about the evolution of the city state, to empires, and then nation states. He then continued to talk about how the UN was celebrating its 60th anniversary, and that the countries could not find a proper definition of what terrorism was. Big Mistake.
Suddenly hands started poking up and everyone started throwing in what they thought terrorism was, how and why terrorists are doing what they are doing, why flying airplanes into buildings, and blowing yourself up in order to kill innocent people, could all be considered acts of terrorism.
This senseless debate about modern day terrorism was like torture, because it had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CLASS AT HAND. I was getting really frustrated with people talking about how they think terrorism is this, or terrorism is that, and why terrorists do what they do. Now if it was a terrorism debate class, I would have been all over that, but because it was not, it just made me angry hearing all these useless opinions that really didn't benefit anyone in the class, if anything, it made us all stupider. When someone stuck their hand up and told the class that this was a twentieth century history class, I gave the guy an applause, even though I sadistically enjoyed listening to the useless and painful opinion of my peers, I guess enough was enough, and the guy had to put a stop to it before things got out of hand.
Other Things...
Nana's internet hasn't been working lately so he hasn't had time to post anything, and Hiro...Well Hiro just vanished off the face of the earth. So I guess I'm going to have to keep you distracted for the time being with useless rants (like the one above), or whatever else I deem interesting. (I am now the dictator of P.I...until someone else posts of course.)
It was my birthday on Tuesday the 13th, I'm 20 and for some reason...Everything feels eerily the same. I also have great friends that bought me a birthday cake, thanks Mark, Phil, Tim, and Al, special mention to Arjun, Pat, Nana and Mike.
Nana went with Mark and Kate to Peterborough to see "The Stills" till Sunday, so for now, Its all drugs, sex, and alcohol at the apartment! (I'm joking). Actually its really boring around here, living alone sucks, I don't know how some people can do it without developing some kind of mental illness.
Just a warning to all those planning to commit crimes in the Miami area...The Shaq Attack is Back! Shaq is awesome.
