Seriously?

So with Serena Williams and her obscene words and conduct; Kanye West with his ridiculous behavior; and most infamous of all (in my opinion), Joe Wilson accusing the President of lying in a Congress session, I really wonder what's going on in the world sometimes.

This is especially true in the classrooms and my interactions amongst my fellow students. Most of the time I just sit there and think, "Seriously?!".

For example, today in my Physics II class, this scenario unfolded:

Classmate A (Male): Oh ya man. My statics professor is a great professor. He says s*** all the time!

Um, what? When does having a professor who demonstrates his ability to curse deem him a great professor? How about because he possesses an amazing teaching ability, or that he really takes the time and effort to know the student?

Also, another example. I was talking to a lab partner who is also a male, and we were discussing in our group of three what classes we are taking this semester. He is taking a MATLAB class which is basically a programming class.

Lab Partner: I can't believe [for my class] we have to actually know how to program! I mean, remember last semester when our Physics Prof gave us a sheet with code on it and all we had to do was input it and run it? Well for this class we have to write the stuff ON the sheet! We have to MEMORIZE how to structure everything, and if there's one mistake the program doesn't work! Isn't that ridiculous?

No, not really. Isn't that why it's called a programming class? I don't know, maybe I'm being too harsh on my fellow classmates (I don't think so), but I think they're really ridiculous, and rather immature. And it makes this whole process even more grueling than it already is.
