amusing, that.

Wow. The worst paper I've ever written is now finished.

Is it obvious that I dislike this class? It's not even a "this is hard and so I don't want to do it" type thing. I took this class expecting it to be history of science, and it's not. It's history of society's reaction to science, I suppose. Whatever it is, it's not taught in a way that appeals to me. I am much more interested in how scientific theories are formed, not what the populace of the time believed about them.

So I am completely cool with getting a bad grade in it, but I know I should at least attempt to get a C so that I can balance it out with an A in another class and keep my 3.0.

I am tired. I am going to go home and sleep.

Wow, that actually sounds like a pretty cool class.

Oh... err...
I mean, bad class... bad... who'd ever want to learn about drivel like that?

Oh, it would probably be very interesting if the professor took a different approach to teaching the course. However, most of her discourse seems to be telling the students how the only scientists who ever actually did things were those who were also christians.

Damn.... That can't be right.

I mean, I'm sure many of them were brought up in christian households, simply because it was the dominant religion in western culture at the time, but I very much doubt that Edison, Tesla, or Madam Curie came about their discoveries any faster by burying their noses in a bible.

Who said we're discussing any of THEM? :P

I'm sure you can start to see why the class is not of great interest to me.
