Youth Ministry and My Professor Trimming Bushes

10 October 2009

My youth ministry class yesterday was extremely disappointing and made me pretty angry. I genuinely enjoy all of my other classes and used to enjoy this class as well until yesterday when we had two new teachers who are going to teach the rest of the semester. They are not from the college and they are quite terrible. At the end of the five hour class they had us all say something that we learned and I couldn’t think of anything. I ended up mentioning something that I had already thought about before so that they would let me go. The class was a complete waste of time and I didn’t even agree with some of the material we went over. On top of that, the class reminded of high school all over again. We were talked to as if we were in high school and our homework was to regurgitate exactly what we had just discussed. The class was so terrible that I left outraged which is a shame because I was really excited about the class before. I figured that I would give them another chance before I drop it but the more I think about it the more I am considering not even going back next week.
On an upside I just walked past one of my professors on my way to the grocery store and he was trimming the bushes. They were really overgrown and made the sidewalk useless so this great guy who, among other things, has a PHD from Harvard was nice enough and humble enough to trim the bushes for us all. What an awesome guy!
