i mean some of the movies film professors pick, i had trouble sitting through, uh, 20-30 years ago (that is not an estimate i was one of those students) so is this on the professors? what are the films?
Theres something about homework that can make anything insufferable.
yeah. the university i did my undergrad at, they had their "international cinema" where they aired all the "boring" films their hoity toity professors wanted their students to watch. it was the best free date night all week after i dropped that major. damn good films, but when i had to watch them? please no.
it's precisely why i am a home cook and not a professional chef. once you turn something to work, you can burn the love out of it. i never want to stop loving food.
totally. I recently read a book i was supposed to have read in school, and really liked it. I probably would have liked it at that age, but couldnt really sit through it.
