I tend not to do so well with lectures in general. There’s too little going on for the breadth of attention that needs to be occupied. This is one of the major reasons that I only went to college for a couple years. I just really couldn’t take it.
My company put together a five week intensive on statistics a couple months ago. I figured it’s be a really great idea to sit in on it.
So on the Wednesday afternoon at three, I reported dutifully to the conference room, jacked up on caffeine with a notebook ready to go. Besides, that was all 20 years ago. I’m pretty sure I won’t have any trouble mustering the attention, especially for a topic I’m actually interested in.
“I’d like to welcome you all here today. We’re going to start with a brief talk about set theory…”
…and I was out. Snoring in a conference room with 12 other people as we set out upon the longest three hours of my life.
I didn’t go back.
I’m left with the inescapable conclusion that my body fundamentally rejects classrooms.
