ofc

nvm it's online shit this semester too

I wish I could be in school again.

e-mailing one of my professors who doesn't seem to have any plans for asynchronicity if she'd be willing to offer me some sort of alternative where i don't actually have to show up, and if she says no i'll be dropping the course

Online for now. I'm glad some schools have sense.

Some classes are really fucking hard to do online

What class is it

hiking

it fulfills a physical activity requirement that all degrees here have to meet, and it's basically the only course of this kind that wouldn't make me want to kill myself

i could theoretically just take whatever hikes she wants me to on my own time, record them with my phone's GPS, and get credit that way, but there's a chance that she won't be rational about it

in any case, if she fucks me on this, i'll be fucked out of graduation and i'll have to wait one more semester

Yeah PE classes in college are such bullshit

Are you really going to wait another semester because of a face to face class tho
That's like $1Ok

well, i also can't drive, public transport isn't running, and the only person who will be able to drive me happens to be immunosuppressed

Why do american universities make you do PE classes when you're doing a degree

Do you guys ever actually get to do the course you go there to do?

I don't know how it is elsewhere but over here there's a lot of focus on "the college experience" and they monetize the fuck out of it

Over half the classes I've taken have nothing to do with my area of study like English, history, and PE
I mean I fucking took a black culture class as an engineering major
I only started really learning about my major in junior year, $5OOOO in

They claim it's to round you out as a person but that's not their job
That along with forcing first years to live on campus and buy a meal plan just goes to show how much of a scam college is

turns out she's accommodating, so i'll be able to take hikes asynchronously

this makes the verb happy

Wait a minute who are you

i got super lucky because physical activity was also required, in the quarter system... but now that we've moved to semesters this fall, they seemed to get rid of that requirement

i always put it off because it conflicted w/ literally every class i needed

im going onto my 4th year of college and it woulda been the last GE requirement i needed lol

Fuck college

I would be content working as a cashier at the local 7/11 and living in an apartment the rest of my life

none of my classes have regular zoom sessions or anything. Which is fine, except that includes Advanced German 1, which has an oral focus. I already don't feel confident in my current ability as I took Intermediate 1 and 2 online over the course of one month (my summer study abroad program was cancelled for obvious reasons). I don't think online, self-paced classes are particularly conducive to learning a language.

Really glad I get to sleep in and don't have to drive tho
