Difficult By Design

One of the classes I'm taking is all about design.

Or, at least it's supposed to be about design.

The course reminds me a lot of math in high school. No, it's NOT math, but the question "how much of this am I going to use in my life?" comes to mind. We've spent 5 weeks now looking at masterpieces. Leonardo Da Vinci, Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Durer. Big names in art. And I should know as I took 3 terms of art history in college after getting 98% on the art history 12 final exam.

But the program I'm in has virtually nothing to do with 'design.'

So why are we taking it?

No answers yet, but I appreciate the irony that after 5 assignments I'm sitting at 100%.

Now, the instructor. She's something else. And I don't mean that in a good way. She's very condescending, she can be quite rude and she has an air of superiority about her at all times. With one assignment, she gave me suggestions on what to change as I was "doing it all wrong." So, I made the corrections and she lambasted me about the corrections I made. I did everything she suggested and still managed to do it wrong. Sheesh.

And then she gives me 100% anyway.

I'll admit now I skipped the last hour of the last class. Had enough for the day and had my next assignment. Enough already.
