At least it's not Monday?

I know this is probably a really stupid thing to b!tch about, but ... I think I hate going to class.  Honestly.  I think I hate class.  I'm almost so bored with this semester that I have a hard time remembering what classes I'm even taking.  I have three actual classes (cellular neurobiology, medical anthropology, and cognitive psych) in addition to some psychology research in a lab.  Blagh.  I don't want to go to class.

I'd rather be playing poker!  Backstory:  unfortunately, this was a hand in euchre ... =_=

I do realize how bad that sounds, especially because I will have to study for so many more classes after I graduate.  But maybe it's just the classes this semester...?  They all seem either super boring or really dense and difficult.  My neurobiology class is the only one that's actually interesting, and it's really dense, but that's okay because I enjoy learning a lot of this stuff that I never knew about.  The one thing that I don't necessarily like is being forced to memorize ultra specific details like the names of genes, because I feel like I will have no use for such knowledge in the future except for specifically passing this class.

Of course, I could be wrong.  Who knows?  Right now, it feels useless.

My anthropology class that is supposed to be so interesting feels like such a dud.  All I feel like we do is discuss how our medical system is not whole and doesn't fulfill the total needs of an individual, blah blah blah.  I'm really tired of taking classes that constantly put down the Western medical system.  It's not perfect, but is it working for us?  For the most part, I would like to say that it is.  Again, I'm not claiming that I know everything about the system.  I do realize that it is not helpful for everyone.  But is our system really THAT much of a failure?  I would hope not.  And I really hope that this class starts to become as interesting as its reputation suggests it will.

The worst class, though, is cognitive psychology.  It is SO absolutely boring.  I usually have a good track record of staying awake in class (I almost ALWAYS attend class), but this one shattered it.  So far, we have had 10 classes.  I have stayed fully awake and alert through 2 of them.  That is awful.  I really do enjoy the naptime but I really do not enjoy missing the information.  If my professor weren't so boring ... haha.

Maybe I'm just bored?  Maybe I'm perpetually fatigued, which is a possibility.  This MCAT prep class is the one that is taking up 90% of my homework time, and it's really draining.  I don't even know.  But I wish that these classes seemed more interesting because at least that way I would be able to pay attention.

This is the thing that really bothers me sometimes:  why do we have to take SO many classes that don't even pertain to what we are going to do?  Some kids in my MCAT class have asked, frustrated, why the f*ck we need to know this stuff.  Why?  Well, one must realize that perhaps we do these things not necessarily for the sake of knowing that information, but to prove that we have the ability to successfully learn things.  We can be sponges, and we are right now.  We can work hard and master something for some time.  That way, we can be successful in our future endeavors.  I understand this, but I don't like it.  Sometimes I feel like this is a waste of my time (but it won't be).
