SYMPOSIUM

So, I’m bored.

This is because the symposium format is flawed. Our four lecturers are too formal, too pleasant, too awkward. They need to hate each other. Disagree on something, anything.

For now, I don’t want to come anymore. I’m still bitter about all this stuff, I still have issues with the format and the delivery, and I don’t want to come anymore. I don’t want to come anymore.

I get bored, and I learn nothing. They teach nothing. We discuss airy-fairy crap about the word ‘network’ and Adrian tells us the way it’s going to be, before yelling at us for assuming things about the future. It’s my mid-subject crisis, and it’s only week four. I can’t sit here and get more and more irritated for an hour each week for the next few months, unless you give me some fantastic argument as to why I should.

I thought I’d give a ‘symposium’ a try, but it’s one guy. The lecture was that one guy, and so was this. Unfortunately, I have issues – petty ones, mind you, but issues nonetheless – with that one guy, and I find him detrimental to my educational experience.

So, if you want me there – and it’s cool if you don’t – convince me to come. Please, try.

  1. All I can suggest is you park the personal stuff and treat it professionally. You don’t get to pick your teachers, you generally don’t get to pick your bosses, and you often won’t get to pick your colleagues. Sometimes you just have to suck it up.
