A Homework Rant

You know what REALLY bugs? Homework that doesn't actually require the use of your brain. I've been sitting here for a full 30 minutes doing a ridiculous 5th grade assignment for my linguistics class and it doesn't even occupy enough of my brain to stop myself from thinking of the one thing I DON'T want to think about. What the heck is the point of a college education if it doesn't necessitate more than the mental capacity of a 12 year old? I'm closing in on super senior status and I still have professors giving me busy work. Why do I pay for this crap? Seriously?!?! Okay...rant over.
