"Modernity in Culture and Architecture"

Ooooh wow, it's been too long. Sorry. Got caught up with...things. I don't know, in my own little world. I had a wonderful weekend at home, though. I'll update about that later, when I can take the time to do it justice and post some fun pictures.
But right now, I'm frustrated with Modernity. Sitting here, at 1am, struggling to understand a reading I need to write about, I've come to the conclusion that this class bores me. Really, truely bores me. I'm not sure I've ever felt quite this strongly about a class at RPI before. Yes, some classes have been a royal pain in the ass. The work may have taken me forever, but in the end I still found it interesting, to a degree. Well, Modernity is boring me. The lectures are flat, plain, monotonous. The readings can barely grab my attention. Interesting points are brought up in recitation, but often those are the ones that get dismissed by an "Okay guys, we're getting of topic. Let's get back to the readings." And then I'm expected to write about and discuss all of this shit that I can't force myself to care about. It's as close to torturous as a class here has ever gotten for me.
Okay, back to pretending I care, for Peter Parson's sake...
