I have an exam in a few days, I just had one and I should study now.
I don't know why but I just feel that at UCD I can have more instruction, in less time and with less stress. All more organized.
Yeah, here you can actually choose some modules. Not like in Macerata that you must do the only one that fits your schedule, and you'll have the other one in your phd or postgraduate, insomma "specialistica".
You have a library; time; essays to write. The knowledge is there, all you can possibly want. Go and take it. Please. You also have free internet connection.
You don't have to travel the world with teleport and find the seven dragonballs to find your teachers. An e-mail is fine and you'll be replied in a few hours.
The problem of UCD is money.
You have to pay if you don't pass exams. You have to pay to enroll. You have to pay to change modules (sometimes). Of course in Italy we pay university as well, but not in all countries. An example? Again.... Finland.
Furthermore, surfing randomly the web I found a blog. I don't know the guy, I just know he's from USA, but I found this pretty interesting:
"I’m not a viking, and neither is anybody I know. That said, maybe we could learn a little something from these stalwart Norsemen. For one, Vikings didn’t get “depressed,” at least not according to the vast stores of viking lore that I’ve amassed by searching for “runes” on Google. A Viking feels down, he just rides a fucking wolf into a burning Troll village. Today? We get sad and it becomes a lifestyle. Seriously! There’s a whole industry set up around people who “just aren’t feeling it Today.”
Therapists? Yeah, yeah. But that’s the easy one. Think about this: Netflix is just Blockbuster video for dudes too sad to leave the house.
If you’re anything like me you just inhaled sharply, bugged your eyes out, and mouthed “Oh my God,” because, shit, you never thought of it that way before. And neither did I, until just now. But the point is this: depression has totally sold out. It no longer makes you pitiable, it just carves you into another wafer thin slice of the pie - no, pie chart that rich dudes get to eat. And that’s lame. Vikings would get so pissed off about that shit that they’d totally find the rich dudes’ village (Westlake Hills) and raze it to the fucking ground."
Hey man, that's bloody true. Depressed people are not different, just customers.
Think about emo bands, black clothes, sad music and movies; pills; What about shopping, for those who are not depressed but unsatisfied. And chocolate.
What do you do if you feel a bit down? WHy not goin' out and buy something?
Bloody hell, isn't it frightening?
Luckily I'm oversatisfied now. And, voi perkele, I will not be sad anymore.
