(no subject)

I had one of those weird back-in-high-school dreams. Or, as albert71292 would say, "dreams." Anyway, I had this really hard-ass dude for English, and he gave us this really hard-ass exam. I hadn't read any of the material, but somehow I was able to squeak a 75 out of it. It was embarrassing, though -- by all my wrong answers and half-baked interpretations he had written stuff like, "No!!! What are you THINKING?" And plus, many of my classmates had totally dominated me. I remember thinking, "Geez, I got along a lot better not reading the books when I was in graduate school!"

Everytime you talk about albert71292 I can't stop myself from "laughing".

It sucks when that happens. A lot of English is interpretation. When you're taking an english course, it's not about learning your subject, it's about learning your teacher.

Gotta "love" Albert. :)

And yeah, It's too bad, but's that's right about a lot of English teachers. I remember being in this one guy's class and thinking it was going to be IMPOSSIBLE until I realized that all I had to do was speak his language -- just talk a bunch of shit about hermeneutics and semiotics and get an A. I ended up taking that dude for three classes!

HAHAHA! That's sad though, isn't it? The only education you really get is learning how to work the bullshit.

I think I'm going to have to add "Albert" to my list of friends. HAHA!
