newer-older-profile-gbook-notes- e-mail-dland disenchantment. 04.03.02 at 3:16 pm 0 comments so far three classes down! one left to go. this experience has left me further disenchanted about education. it seems that with every step i take in my education i am more and more disappointed. i find it hard to believe that the typical graduate from western is actually prepared to succeed in the world of work [beyond jobs at starbucks.] perhaps it's just me being cocky and overly self assured, but i cannot help but believe that i'll get through western without a hitch. it will be a return to high school where i do the least amount of work to get the highest grade. irene said, 'it won't be hard for you to be at the top of your class.' in my first class, the professor asked, 'now, how many of you have written research papers?' and a substantial number of students had not. not only that, but that's the only class where i am required to write a paper, and it's only four to five pages long. that's not a big fucking deal, kids! shit. i'm just in awe. for my success, however, i should probably quit being so self righteous, eh? i guess that this is a good perspective for me to gain. i've been to a jesuit university, a small liberal arts women's college, and now a large public university. that's what i should put on my resum�; that i can [and have] succeed[ed] in any environment [or so i am assuming. but you know what that makes you and me.] i'm feeling more at ease with 'cal.' this is good. although, i am seeing the uncomfortable situations involving people 'who know' and people who i know from past times 'who don't know.' but i'm getting better at all of that. i think i said/thought that the other day when i wrote. alas, one cannot keep track of anything.
