i had to memorize the entire 6th amendment this morning. from 6 am until 8:02 i did nothing but repeat the words (in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to..blah blah blah blah..council for their defense) non-stop. then i got to class, wrote it on a piece of paper, and immediately forgot every ounce.
WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS?
i dunno..stephanie munkachy just wrote a post on livejournal about wanting to memorize things rather than write an essay. she is a liar. i, personally, dont want to do either. i would rather be done with this spouting of 90% useless information (which is all college really is) and to get to the real world where i can be retaught as my employer sees fit. what happened to the good old days when you were just an apprentice and followed your boss around until you figured everything out? where did people decide that in order to produce quality television, which is becoming a new goal of mine, that you must also know the first and sixth amendment word for word, the definition of “impartial jury” as defined by some court case from 1975, as well as basic pre-calculus. i know that a+b=c, and i know that this shit doesn’t add up. and yeah, maybe i am a little crass by nature. and yes, maybe someday someone will ask me about marx’s theories of alienation, and at that point i may or may not be thankful for the fact that i had to study them in detail for 2 weeks of my life (even though i did not really retain jack squat from it and it broke my pride in a way that no person should ever have their pride broken). and yes, maybe all this bullshit that i am paying to have to recite against my will will somehow pay off.
and maybe it won’t.
all in all, i still can’t spell restraunt without a spell check, and i still can’t do simple geometry properly, and i still don’t give a shit. and i am supposed to be grown but i still wear band t-shirts every day and am completely unable to see myself getting up more than 45 minutes before i have to be in class/work/etc to get dressed up. it doesn’t matter. i have decided that i am the liberal that i always thought i was and that american capitalist society is a bust. fuck school. fuck working my ass off and never seeing the fruit of my toil. and fuck you, cause you are fucked whether you know it or not.
i want to graduate.

I too share the same idea that this “knowledge” slam packed into our heads is damn near useless, with the exception of the basics such as reading writing and basic mathematics. I’m out on my own and I’ve yet to use the fact that in 1492 columbus sailed the ocean blue in any way what so ever other then as a meer childish rhyme. Longitude and Latitude, sure it’s a cool idea, but do I fly planes, drive ships, or need the coordinates of anything involving longitude and latitude?……thats what directions are for in the real world, theres no use for this crap when you’re on land unless you’re one of the billion who wind up stranded on that desert island we all speak so much about. Drink up Hailey its ugly out there.

I love how you guys are so sure of everything. If I too were to believe so strongly, perhaps I could make it true for myself. If you don’t want to go to school, then don’t.
(End bitter comment.)

youre right, it is stupid, but most things in life are too, as are most of my relatives, so i dont get a choice. i am in the process of applying for an internship in new york or conneticut though, so maybe that will freshen things up a bit.
