Reason #10,009 Why I Dislike Ball State:

Today in class we spent over 30 minutes writing out definitions for vocabulary words by hand - you know, like you did in elementary school when the teacher gave you a list of words and then you had to look it up in the glossary in the back your book, write the definition down, and then turn it in. Yeah, exactly like that.  Seriously, am I in 5th grade again?

But it gets better... not only did we spend an excessive amount of time working on this menial task.... but after we were done, the prof continues to inform us that he only had us to it to become familiar with a few words and that none of these words will appear on the exam.  He then proceeds to pass out a 6 page packet of vocab words he wants us to know for the exam. 

Thank you Ball State for providing me with more busy work than my heart could ever possibly desire.  =) 

At least I'm in practicum this year - practicum is going well.
