angst over polsci

welcome to hell
-polsci reader-

our philo professor was right in saying that inch thick pol sci readings were quite pointless. really, I don’t know why I ended in this kind of torture. last night, I had to read a 60 page essay regarding structure-functionalism. what the? I don’t even have the slightest idea what the heck that means. I guess a little background would have suffice my clueless ness. but no, I ended up reading the introduction and knowing the seven functions that are common to all political systems. though I only read the enumerated part because Almond’s explaining was a nose bleed for me. and anyway, whats the point in making us read those essays if youre only asking 3 questions out of that topic? Im not saying that you should ask 10 questions, why not limit our readings for a change? sigh. pol sci is mind boggling. ive been studying this for almost a year now and I still don’t know the twist and turns of this field. whatever. atleast theres summer that I would look forward to. dusk and summer. hehe :]
