purgatory

1. in Catholic theology, the stage of the afterlife where souls suffer for their sins before they can enter heaven
2. any situation causing suffering

While the first definition doesn’t apply here, I’m certainly in a situation that causes suffering.

I’m currently taking an intersession class at UNM. This particular one is History 161 (US History to 1877.) I’m not taking it because I want to, but because I still need one last 100-level history class for my major (not to mention that I need to maintain 12 credit hours for last semester.)

The big problem is that the instructor might possibly be the most boring person on Earth. It might not be so bad if I didn’t already know all of this. In fact, I’ve known all of this for literally decades. 

I know why England liked having colonies. They like having money. They like trading. It’s not that complicated, though by the looks on the faces on some of the mouth breathing morons I’m sharing this classroom with, it appears to be surprising information.

I would guess that I’m probably the only person in here with any real interest in History, other than the professor and his very bored teaching assistant. It’s ironic that all three of us are in this classroom for less than academically valid reasons. The instructor outright admitted that he’s in here because he likes money… much like the British.

At any rate, it could be worse. He could be one of those instructors that insists on everyone paying rapt attention to him throughout the entire class.

I’m seriously thinking about not buying the book and seeing how much of this I already know.

Time for a break. I thought it would never come.
