If you're an ecology enthusiast of sorts, don't read this.
12.07.05 (5:06 am)   [edit]
So, I'm trying to read through my ecology book because I guess I have some final on Monday where she expects us to have read the material. Ok, that's fine, I can handle it. They provide summaries in the back of the chapters, and I've actually read about 4 of the 12 assigned chapters already. I find it incredibly hard to believe that I'm ever going to need this information for anything, ever. I've come to terms with the fact that I just have to know it for now. Ok, fine. But you know? If they expect me to take this useless topic seriously, don't you think they could publish a book that doesn't have a typo or grammatical error every 2 paragraphs? Even the summary paragraphs are erroneous.

Should I highlight every typo, show it to my professor, and explain to her that learning the concepts of ecology is an exercise in futility? I doubt she'd feel the same way I do. But then again, she shovels poop for a living. Literally.

That's what an interest in ecology will get you, kids! A big, smelly, steaming cage of wild animal poo. A quick note about animal poo, our group project in Ecology is about chimpanzee communication. If that doesn't sound absurd enough, the section I "researched" was facial expressions. Could there be a more pronounced waste of time?

End vent.
