that's what education entails, though. you NEED the extra courses in education because it makes you an overall more aware individual than someone who obviously hasn't been. just saiyan.I understand what you guys are saying. If I play by the rules and suffer through it then things will be fine. To me it still seems like taking classes that don't relate to my major is a waste of time but okay. What i'm really wanting to know is, if I end up failing a class this semester my student aid will stop and i'll have to drop out of college on academic probation for a year (I believe it is a year and not a semester but I may be wrong on that). So what i'm wondering is what do I do then? I really don't think i'm ever going to get through this math or present an essay that my professor will like. What does someone do if they mess up that bad? Isn't it basically a trip to the welfare office and a live as a low class citizen? I'm serious, I don't know what to expect or do if things get messed up here.
all you need is a basic understanding of english (how to use commas, avoiding splices, use of certain punctuation, like hyphens and semi-colons, etc) to write a decent essay, everything after that is based on how you construct your thesis and evidence. i've never gotten lower than a B or a C on a paper following that logic. -shrug-
as for your disinterest in maths thats also not something you really have a say in. you're right, just put up with it for now. yeah, you'll never use it again, maybe. at least you have the education there in case you decide to go back to school for another degree.
