Assignments are funny things. often times I find that they are things I really don't want to part take in. I feel as if they rule my life constricting my actions, putting me in a box, a wee small box, and the only way out is the light at the end of the tunnel which involves you doing the assignment to get there. I want to break the box! I want that to be my method of escape, because I know deep down that the light at the end of the assignment tunnel just leads to more assignments and another box with a dim light at the end of the tunnel. I know that part of wanting to go to college is wanting to do assignments, but screw that. I came here for understanding, and it is evident to me that I can't get anything I need, anything essential to life if I stay here. That said, college sure is a way to get a job. woo! then i get to be put in another box called being dependent on money and an unreliable economy. I joke about running, but if you find me to be missing one day, maybe... just maybe I'm gone.
Truly,
Yours

I think that assignments are worthwhile if they help you to understand something. If you can find any interest in them and focus on that interest rather than the fact that they're tedious, then you might gain some insight. I think that college is a place for understanding, and I think that a lot of this understanding comes from individual research, or assignments, I guess. Anyway, my point is that college might consist primarily of assignments, but maybe it's better to see these assignments as motivation to discover a greater understanding of the world... I'm not sure if this really makes sense. But alas!
ReplyDeleteYour last sentence reminded me of this guy Jackson I used to know.
