Apathetic

I really dislike school right now.

The two classes I thought would be my favorites are my least favorites.
The "Central bubble" is really annoying.
People aren't real.
Teachers lecture just to hear themselves talk.
[Or they like to repeat everything my textbooks say... and that's it. Why bother going to class, if I do the assigned reading?]
I'm also pretty sure that they all got together while planning their courses and discussed how they could make the students' lives miserable by making everything due on the same days, and give tests throughout the same weeks.
NOT HELPING.

I've always loved school.
I've always loved learning.

So this is kind of a big deal.
Something is not right.

Last year I felt this way around March or so. It had been a good year up to that point, but I was feeling weighed down due to a few factors. I suppose that even though I say I'm a relatively stress-free person, I was stressed out quite often. I'm really not stressing out right now, though. I just feel so FRUSTRATED. And incredibly apathetic. So if it's only October, and I'm not even stressing out or anything... what's it going to be like in March this year? I don't even want to think about it.

I'm so ready to be done.

But even if I were to get my associate's, I would have to be here at least one more semester after this year. And I wouldn't know what to do afterward. Work? Raise support? Would a mission agency hire me without a bachelor's degree?

This is so ridiculous.

I want to graduate with a bachelor's. I want to be educated and well-equipped. I simply wish there was another way to do things. Apprenticeship. A prolonged internship. Something. Anything. Just... not school.
