A friend of a friend of a friend used a hypnotist who told her she loved her history classes. I haven't a clue if it worked.

Rock on.

it wouldn't be so bad if my teacher wasn't so boring. He follows NO plan at all, he just starts talking about stuff. I can't take notes liek this! T-T

I have a lecturerer very similar to that!

The guy who teaches us (mainly) electronics, is clearly a VERY VERY VERY intelligent man, but unfortuntly his great knowledge of the subject often overruns the actual plan of our lectures and so, we learn pretty much nothing on the actual stuff we need, but instead learn a wide range of useless infomation :p

The geology class at my school is what seniors take for an easy A. We also have a class for dinosaurs. I wish I had the time to take that class, it sounded like so much fun :D

If it is a college class, I hear that gen. ed classes are required for you to be at least somewhat more flexible than if you only focused on your major. So basically, gen. eds are required so you'll be valuable to other industries even if you can't find a job in your field right away. That way, you won't have to flip burgers with a Bachelor's Degree because you can't find a job in your field. I like the idea.

dude, everyone should take a philosophy class

thinking is something you need to do in anything, philosophy encourages critical thinking
