I said that I was going to like my classes much better this term because they were going to be things I was actually interested in. Well... sort of.
My museum class is actually a Museum Management Seminar. Anyone who's been to a management seminar before will know that they're boring as shit. Now picture that boredom and add in homework and you'll know the sort of agony this class is going to cause me over the next two and a half months. I'm surprised that the professor hasn't yet told us to "think outside the box."
My Seminar on Buddhism should be more interesting. It's about Buddha Nature which is... well, hard to pin down. Mostly the qualities of being a Buddha. But the class has already given me some insight into some fiction-related stuff so I'll consider it "good." (Yes, that's primarily what I look for in a class and what leads me to call a class "good." Always has been, even before I started actually, you know, writing.) Funny thing, though: the professor seems to want us to achieve enlightenment before the end of the term. I'd better get to it...

Tell your prof that your goal in life is to be a bodhistava, and thus you will kindly refuse Enligthenment until the rest of the world is done with it. That should shut him up.
But...cna you be graded on Enlightenment? I mean, is this like a Mage thing where you're given a rank depending on how much you understand the universe? Wouldn't that be counter to the nature of the Buddha?
Ah, 2am wisdom, how I love you.
