Ughh…Last night's World Religion class was fun! We're just starting Hinduism (or what's classified as Hinduism anyway, considering it's a whole lot of more fractured religions under one banner..but I digress) and, as much as I enjoy my professor, she has a problem in that she knows too much.

You might be thinking that this really isn't a problem at all…but, consider also the fact that she also gets off track easily, so she tends to be all over the place during her lecture, going off the specific topic quite often. It's usually pretty interesting offtopic-ness but it inflates her lectures like you wouldn't believe.

It really starts to get annoying when she keeps talking for two and a half hours. With no breaks. Every 20 minutes last night she said "Just a few more slides then I'll give you guys a break.." And eventually, at near 9pm, she did. She was going to give us 20 minutes but she only had 3 more slides of her powerpoint presentation to go through, so we bargined her down to a 5 minute break because, at this point, what the heck is the difference anyway?

But still. Two and a half hours. That's entirely too long. She normally goes for somewhere along the realm of just under 2 hours, which is still too long for my tastes. I dunno about anyone else, but after listening and absorbing stuff for that long, I'm in need of a little break to space things out. I'd learn more if she, say, gave us two ten minute breaks, spaced about an hour apart each for some breathing room. Arrgh!
