Inhumanities

So, many of you know that I am in school (and will be for the rest of my life!!).I am taking the final for my last Humanities class (hallelujah) and I would like to start a petition to change the name. Humanities is such a misleading name. It alludes to the fact that the class and the demands are going to be humane, but let me tell you my friend, they are not! Lets disregard the fact that billions (may or may not be exaggerated) have gone through BYU and passed Inhumanities 202 with flying colors (while simultaneously taking other classes), and focus on the here and now. I am usually a fairly good student, but man alive, you can't reason your way through Inhumanities. How do you memorize every artist, musician, philosopher, sculpture, architect, and movement from 1700 to present day? Maybe my brain is just too full of useful info. to take anymore in. By useful I mean, I know the names and theme songs for all of Dora's helpful friends. I know when the sea lion, elephant, and monkey shows are at the zoo, and I know how early I have to get there on free day to get a parking spot. I know that Wednesday is double ad day at Sprouts and Sunflower Market, and I know that kids eat free at Cici's until they are 3. I know that it takes exactly 1 minute to get to church and about 15 minutes to get to play group. I can eyeball bread dough and know if it needs more flour. But I can't spell hippopotamus, I mean, I can't tell the difference between Schoenburg and Stravinsky nor why it's important. Numb Brain moms unite! Lets put an end to the inhumanity of inhumanities!
