Not Lazy, Not Stupid, Just Uninterested

I have a paper to turn in today. 4 hours ago actually. I'm less than 10% done.

My paper was technically due Tuesday, but the sheet said Thursday the 14th, so I went with Thursday to give myself more time.

I would have known about this if I would have gone to class last week, but I didn't.

I'm supposed to be leaving for work in 5 minutes, so I don't think I'll be able to write much more than an intro sans-thesis.

I know I'm gonna get a shitty grade on this assignment. I don't care. I know I'm paying money out of my pocket to get this shitty grade, but it's gotten to a point where I just want the class to be over with. It's boring and uneventful. We don't read anything of social value, or anything relevant. I don't care about reading Antigone. Sure it's interesting, but I want something fucked up and socially conscious. I want to discuss the writers' and his characters philosophies, not rhyme scheme in poetry. I want some Orwell among other things.

This class is pure liberal arts bullshit, served with a healthy dose of busy work and "assignments" that are not much more than us regurgitating information from lectures, sparknotes, wikipedia, and the book so we can learn about the wonders of the English language. Like my paper. I'm writing about Antigone. Nothing exciting, just regurgitating. No deep insight, no quandries, no heated argument, just skimming the surface of mediocrity.

And I'd have an A on it if I cared.
