Class Schedule Blues

So I just received my schedule for Fall semester, and I have to say I'm a little disappointed. I knew I would be taking Integrated Technologies in Libraries and Administration and Management of Libraries, but I wasn't certain of who the professors would be. So when I checked, I hoped to see a new name, no dice. While part of me welcomes the fact that there won't be any new surprises, I know what they want and how to succeed in their class. The problem is... they're kinda lacking. Somewhere along the way, I stopped hoping for easy classes. Of course I still learn the necessary information, but not nearly the amount of information I learn when I'm having to work crazy hard! I mean sure my gpa might suffer from a truly difficult class, and I'd probably dislike every minute of it, but I'd come away with actual skill sets, the kind that can only be learned under that type of instruction. It's a beautiful thing really, actually learning. Until that day, I'll just get through this next semester with half-hearted delight. Who knows, maybe they'll surprise me.
