I can't wait to get back to UW, their system just makes so much more sense to me. I am looking at my calendar, and I realized I have THREE more weeks of classes. And I honestly feel like I haven't learned a single thing. I don't have perfect attendance at UW by any means so I don't really think it is the amount of classes I have missed by traveling. We just don't seem to have covered much ground here. Yesterday I had to write a paper for my sociology of health and illness course, and I had positively NO IDEA where to start. I looked through my notes, and it was like we hadn't even covered anything applicable to the paper prompt, I basically had to start from scratch. Now I am trying to write a proposal for a paper that is literally worth 75% of my grade in one class, and I just feel like I have no clue where to begin or what she is expecting. I miss weekly sections and TA's who tell you what they want and offer you ideas and guidance. It isn't just me either, most of my international friends find UCD's system to be useless and annoying as well. :/ Such a bummer.
Gosh, when did this blog turn into me complaining about school? I'll type up a travel post today, promise.
