Donnelly is going on and on about marketing demographics. I was late to class today...thought about skipping but I never have...it's the whole theory of the thing. Have you ever been so zoned out in class you want to just get up and leave? There is NO point in being there because you know damn well that you're not listening to a thing that is said.
You're there sitting by the window, watching the wind move the leaves around, and thinking about what you're doing later that day. It's such bullhockey.
We lock up so much of our capacity in wasted time. Why don't people have access to the majority of their brains? It's because of lectures like this. UK teaches people to MEMORIZE and stop thinking for themselves. I think the whole university would flip over and drop into the underworld if someone had a question that actually made people think. I guess I just analyze things too much for a UK student.
I say FORGET UK. Forget the basketball team and the underage jerks on it that got busted last year trying to get into a bar. Screw the 80 million people whose only joy in life is to sit around their TVs watching games and reliving the days when they could get tickets for $5. MOVE ON with your lives. The parking nazis can kiss it, too. Everyone hates you. How pathetic are you for having such a tool job.
I'm going home today.
I'll be back Monday morning, smiling like an idiot and ready for class to start so I can stare out the window again and image a better way.

I sit in class and hear the same lessons I've heard over and over again.
Use more descriptive words. Be concise. Write more. Write less.
I've heard this all before and it didn't help me the first time.
they try to put me in a little box, but they'll never make a zombie out of me.
If I want to write more, than I intend to, damnit.
Ignorance is bliss
but I choose to know
and to speak the words that nobody will understand anyway
because I understand and I refuse
to dumb myself down for you.
The only thing I've learned in college so far is that I want more than this.
