I have a major test tomorrow in what is essentially Biochemistry.

It’s basically a big memorization class. I really hate memorization. It’s all right if the subject is interesting to me, but if it’s just memorizing boring things I don’t care about, like random structures of proteins, it gets really boring and repetitive. And then I don’t want to do it, so I do badly on the test. D:

Excessive memorization is completely useless. Everyone I talk to, who took that class, told me that they forgot the stuff soon after they were tested on it. So what was the point of “learning” all that?

The current education system is really messed up. I honestly don’t think education, as a whole, is about learning. It’s more a business, a competition, a drive to see who can get the highest scores and memorize all the right answers. And once the competition is over, everyone forgets the information they acquired and they never use it again for the rest of their lives.

So pointless. Sigh.
