So lately I’ve been so unmotivated with school. Maybe it’s because it’s my last (hopefully) semester so I have senioritis (despite being in grad school). And it’s not for lack of wanting to be motivated. I want to get finished with my research and get out of here. I don’t want to work in this lab synthesizing the same compounds forever. But I suppose part of me is comfortable here and doesn’t want to leave and explore the doors that will open with this advanced degree.

In either case, it doesn’t change the fact that I’m taking two classes that for the most part bore me but I have to take them and I have to do well in them. And they aren’t boring classes, for me it’s just a boring presentation of interesting material. I guess I wish that professors would stop standing up in front of the class teaching from notes they compiled on the subject five to ten years ago and actually get their students interested in the subjects. Or at least stop handing me complete notes that you’ll teach from with a date stamp from 1992 and expect me to pay attention. I’d really wish that for these smaller graduate level classes they would make them more interactive and less preaching. But I suppose you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
