M.I.A. - Foo Fighters

Now that I'm reasonably sure you're all sick to your stomachs, I can return to normal blog updates. After all, it is the God-given right of all newly-found lovers to schmoop all over everything they touch for the first week.

Bah, a curse on the good-smelling food in the immediate vicinity. It's making me impatient for the pure visceral pleasure of the giant pretzel I'm to consume in the near future.

It is at this time I would again like to declare my undying love for mass-produced education. I had a pop quiz in Asian Civ today, which consisted of 23 "circle the correct answer of these two choices," most of which were ridiculously easy. Example: Nebuchadnezzar was famous for building the ______(Pyramids/Hanging Gardens) of Babylon.

"As you can see, I have memorized this utterly useless fact long enough to pass a test question. I now intend to forget it forever. You've taught me nothing except how to cynically manipulate the system. Congratulations."

Oh well. At least I'm getting a sweet, sugary glaze lightly spread over the entire surface of my mind. Yummy.

you gotta' love mass-produced edu. You also gotta wonder how many people got that question wrong, or would get it wrong if you asked it to them.

Apparently you have not been paying attention to my previous postings of the blog-thing, O adversary of the celestial lights.
