But I understand your problem; even though I was a history major, so it should be up my alley, I had Parris Glendening ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parris_Glendening) as my Government and Politics professor at the University of Maryland back in the 1960's, got a "D" in the course from boredom and wouldn't vote for him for dog catcher! Sometimes you just grimace and bear it like you did. Give yourself credit, you did what needed to be done (whether you liked it or not :-) |
Good point.
Even though my professor makes things a bit more interesting in class, it still doesn't change the fact that I'm bored with this subject. I am especially bored with the historical portions of this class because I genuinely don't care about history all that much.
I'm a tech guy and an aspiring entrepreneur; history does little to benefit my goals and aspirations in life.
If I get a C in this class, I will be happy at this point. I would rather focus all of this extra energy into my other classes that I deem more important to my goals.
