Lots of school work to do. I don’t mind it, but I get irritated when I ask a question and the instructor(s) respond with an answer that has no relation to the question asked. I try to restate it, making it more and more precise, and get still useless answers. This seems to be a trend at both of the upper-level schools I’ve attended.

I think this is due, in large part, to one of two things:

1) English is the instructor’s second language (2 of my professors, in this case–although they’re brilliant people, they’re hard to understand)

2) They think I’m such an idiot that they must guess at what I’m “REALLY” asking and try to answer that question instead.

Regardless of which it is, it irritates me.

It also irritates me that the TA for one of my classes is extremely picky. He’s pickier regarding answer format than the CS2110 TAs were. Is he smart? Sure. Does he try to show that to you? Yes. Irritating.

So yea, I’m still disappointed about my car. It’s frustrating and I can’t stop thinking about how IRRITATING (catch a theme here?) it is that I have to replace my wheels. This, of course, happens a month after my computer decides to spontaneously fry, causing me to purchase another one. Life’s just throwing the curve balls at me. I cannot WAIT to graduate from Georgia Tech. I’m going to run out and never look back. I’ll probably end up catching a MBA someplace, in a couple of years..or maybe a MSCS at Georgia Tech, if I can muster the will power to enter the classrooms again. It’s a great school but it sucks the joy out of life sometimes, as do other things.

C’est la vie.
