just for the money?

the class "introduction to architectural photography" that i go to on tuesdays should be renamed "welcome back to first year"!!!!!!!!! oh it made me so angry and frustrated today to be in there when all that was said was a bunch of b-s that you would only find philosophical and deep in the first week of first year.
if there is one thing that upsets me here, down under, is the fact that as long as it looks good and you make the tutor happy and feel good about himself, then all the b-s is more than acceptable, it's welcomed with open arms. "yes give me crap that doesn't mean anything but please, do it on fancy paper and with purty pens".
At least, in France no one felt bad about telling you that you had nothing to do here and that you should go into accounting instead, but here, oh yeah, the international students pay s... loads of money every session so you don't want to offend them do you?
it's a bit upsetting though because you would think that, if you pay a lot for it, then you should get something worth it in return, but unfortunately, the uni depends on that money and seems to lower its level to get as much of it as possible, meaning taking anyone that can afford it basically.
i just wish things weren't all so pre-formatted and that originality was encouraged a bit more. I just wish things didn't have to look so pretty all the time, and actually mean something...
