In my dream I suddenly remembered that I had already had 3430, and had gotten an A and had a very good learning experience despite being worried before taking the class (all true), so what the heck was I doing taking 3430 again?
And then in the dream I remembered having been asked earlier in the semester if I would please take the class because it would help UHV somehow. (Ha, by typing that I've just invited all kinds of people to take an exit ramp from Google, looking for information on UHV's infamous 3430 classes.) I had absentmindedly agreed, and look, here it was the end of the semester and I was about to get a B or a C (something we call "not an A") in the class, and all because I wasn't paying attention. (And because the instructor was being unfair, to get back to the earlier part.)
I woke up thinking it was some kind of message about one of my current classes, but I don't know what. I'm not taking anything redundant and all of my professors this semester are good, competent people. I have one class where I'm not sure if I have to take a final (Mass Media Communication) and another class where I have diligently read but I hated one book so much (Ceremony for Ethnic Literature - and it's more to do with my copy having been drowned than the actual text) that I don't know how I'll manage on tomorrow's final, but I don't know if these qualify.
Odds are my brain is still processing 3430 stress, maybe trying to get it all burped up before the new year. I don't think it's a worthless class at all, but (my fabulous professor that I finally had aside), I dare say I could complain for hours about how some professors choose to execute what happens when they teach it. (Mind you, the two of the three offenders are gone, so perhaps this is where the legend that 3430 is a grueling stinkbomb dies.)
