Episode #3...In Class!!

Have you ever experienced a boring class?! A lot, huh?!

Well, I have to admit that during my four-and-a-half-year journey in uni, I’ve been in more boring classes than interesting or even normal ones. And since this journey is soon coming to an end (hopefully!!), I’ve decided to take up the endeavor of contemplating a boring unbearably energy-draining class.

As for the professor, he’s monotonic, slow-paced & he tirelessly continues to speak some enigmatic geeky barely understandable barely audible terms.

As for my fellow senior veterans, well, I can gladly say that almost everyone has set foot on La La Land their own way; some have started casual chit-chats with their neighbors, others have opened their books starting an avid reading session & as for the majority, well, they’re daydreaming!! (Oh, there’s one guy over there that’s actually dreaming; YES, in his sleep!!)

“Oh I almost forgot… everybody, including me, fakes absolute focus with a subtle series of nods as the professor turns his head & throws a look at the surrounding vicinity.”

And as for me… Well, I used to be one of the daydreamers but today I’ve decided to switch course. Today I’ve decided to contemplate & write.

But here’s the most basic question… Is it our fault, as students I mean, that we lose focus letting our minds wander off in such boring barely beneficial classes?! Or is it our professors’ fault for they don’t raise any interest at our end in what they’re explaining in class?!

If you want to hear my humble opinion, I think it’s everybody’s fault. It’s the professors’ fault for it never occurred to them  to put themselves in our shoes & think of what can really raise our interest so we can be avid listeners in class & most importantly avid learners after class.

It’s the university’s administration’s fault for they have never thought of setting an effective transparent filtering & selection process of potentially talented personnel who can do well as professors, as teachers and above all as mentors.

It’s our fault cause every day we knuckle under to the status quo desperately hoping that someone else would come & change it one of those days.

And last but not least, it’s my fault cause I’m writing this in class!!

May every senior enjoy their classes!! =)
