Unlecture numero tres. How do I feel? Anxious, again. Thanks, Adrian, I really wanted to have my question addressed personally in the lecture, separately from everyone else. I’m glad you didn’t point me out because I was pretty freaked.
That said, did you answer it? I kinda zoned out a little, but I have this feeling that y0u just insulted my inference rather than actually tackling the problem. The content is irrelevant, you didn’t argue with that. You just implied that I assumed university was a ‘merchantile’ transaction, which I kind of do, considering I’m paying for it. And yes, I do plan to give back to you and the university for their time and effort that they spend on me. It’s called money, you see.
I am a stubborn git, so no matter how well you argued your case I am gonna stand by my complaint.
‘University is a privilege.’ I concur. Doesn’t mean I should attend pointless lectures. Get to the ‘symposium’, people, because at the moment these are just normal lectures where we don’t learn anything. Where there is nothing to teach. Everything is a privilege which can be taken away from us at any moment. Our lives are privileges, so why should I waste mine in a lecture theatre, in this subject or any other? As you can probably tell I’m fairly irritated right now. It’s better than how I was yesterday.
We have a ‘reciprocal obligation’ to the university, meaning we get what we give. As I said, I pay. Or, I will pay, once I get a successful-enough job (if that ever occurs). How else should I give back to the university?
I’m gonna just stop right now.
