Another frustrated univeristy student..

Oh well it's a breezy saturday afternoon and I'm encaged in my lil' apt, buried under books and papers that refuse to seep into my thick skull.. argh! I do not understand the insitution of education, why do I need to be bogged down with outlandish theories that shall never be of any use to me? Seriously will some lame 30 year old's opinion about Lara Croft's implicit androgenous identity ever matter... But then again I understand the need to analyse (perhaps, over analyse) the most mundane, trivial things in life but I dun't go around writing academic essays and advocating them with psychoanalytical theories do I? I'm beggining to wonder if this course is for me.. I love the randomness, the triviality of the subjects, the fervour of the tutours but the assignments just don't do it.. I guess none ever will.. But anyways the middle aged geek made a rather compelling point about how virtual reality has advanced to a technological height and cultural status where the voyeuristic gaze between the virtual game and player is so intense it eradicates the players surrounding and lifts them right out of reality.. and in research for this notion, Ive spent the last 5 hours playing simgirls (http://www.ebaumsworld.com/simgame.shtml) Well still playing and its teaching me a whole lot of things that I shall keep for my next post.. some how I think there's alot more I'm going to learn ;)
