you know the type of busy work i'm talking about. the kind that has almost no educational value and takes almost your entire life to complete. yeah, that kind of busy work.
the other day i was assigned a "research assignment" where i had to identify and define over 24 terms and names. i did that in high school as a form of detention. i don't learn anything from that sort of thing. who ever thought it was a good idea in the first place? okay, i can understand identifying the people but words like "trust" and "infrastructure" and "monopoly"? if i'm in college shouldn't i already know those words? and if i don't isn't that my own problem?
also, i've been assigned homework by the library. no, you're not reading that wrong. the library has decided to add to my workload. i don't even understand why i have to do it in the first place. shouldn't i already know how to research and utilize the library's resources by the time i'm a junior in college... and a history major? it's stupid and pointless. not to mention i can't find the databases they want me to use in their little list. perhaps they should put them in alphabetical order. that would be far more efficient. i feel like i'm digging a hole just to fill it back up again.
argh! curse pointless tasks!

should i say it again?
libraries have way too many books. and yea, their "organized" databases just make things more confusing.
...the library assigns projects!?! that is really...well dumb. I am sorry about the silly projects, you would think by your junior year of college you would be able to laugh at that stuff and say it is in the past. *rolls eyes*
