This semster as been interesting. 

I just sat and did nine hours of work.

That doesn't bug me too much.

Wanna hear the part that does?

I feel no smarter. 

And that's what's killing me. 

You see, my classes are not that difficult. They are loose and free, and the grades are not harsh. Yet each class is filled with work. Work that is not difficult to complete, just increadbly time consuming. And I do it and get a good grade. But I feel no accomplishment. I feel no pride. I have discussed many times how I thrive on learning new things. I relish the feeling of self-improvement. 

This semester has npt provided me that. This semester has just given me a bunch of time-consuming assignments built around things I already knew. 

And what sucks is that all those assignments suck my time and energy away, so that by the time I am done, I feel no motivation to learn something new on my own. It's put me in a sad, monotonous space, which I only hope will improve after spring break. Untill them, back to the rat race. 

Goodnight,
