Borklog: One entry

10 December 2001

Every time I ponder about going back to school full time, I'm reminded why I don't want to do that. Sporkie-boy in #openacs (and some older friends of mine who are returning to college to complete various degrees) frequently complains about the nonsense classes he's having to take to fulfil random requirements. I'm also studying for my third (out of 5) Oracle DBA Certification exams (Backup and Recovery). There's a huge amount of random information and procedures (which feels much worse than the other two tests I've taken so far) "slog" is a good term for what I'm doing. Luckily most of the material is interesting, but the uninteresting parts are very tough to wade through. I can't imagine having to sit through, study for (and pay for!) whole classes that are like that.
