Finals Week!

Well after many years of procrastination and just plain avoidance, I went back to school this semester. After about the first month....I realized why I quit going to school and hadn't come back in the first place. But alas, I have made it to finals week. This past weekend was sent cramming and pulling my hair out!! I have come to wonder what the United States Educational system is thinking. What is the point in charging us an arm and a leg (next year it will be two arms and a leg) to learn about things that really make no difference in my life or that will be beneficial to me as I finish my major classes. I mean really....who cares if I know the difference between the Baroque and Romantic periods of music. Who cares if I took an Ethics and Values class. I'm pretty sure no one will ask me if I know who was the most famous composer during the Middle Ages when I'm nursing them back to health or taking their pictures. (Those would be the two majors I'm trying to choose between- Nursing or Photography). So here I sit typing on my blog after at least 48 hours of almost complete studying....well not really, but you get my drift, complaining of something that will be over in another 48 hours. THANK GOODNESS!!! And then in the fall I will start learning the stuff that is what I actually want to do for my career. So wish my luck in taking these tests of completely pointless facts of the past and of things I just don't plain care if I know or not!!! ;-) Ya gotta love college!
