The Great Depression

Continuing right on with the topic with depression, quite a few students are experiencing The Great Depression.
Nearly every CSL student gets hit with this, at least once a year, likely during the winter months, due to:
the depressing weather
all the things mentioned earlier
all the things still to be mentioned.

When it happens, we're as unproductive as politicians. Ironically, it's very fitting since most of our curriculum is about the creative manipulation of bullshit. (Depending on subject, different origins and types of shit are manipulated to achieve the perfectly tailor-made end product required)

Another obvious problem is motivation.

Contrary to the real Great Depression (see, we did learn something from history class), where the people WANTED to work, we aren't in the mood to do anything when we get hit with this tsunami of this intense and persistent feeling of dread and boredom. Many a times, especially the first lesson of the day, you often ask yourself "What the *expletive deleted* am I doing here? It's a beautiful day outside. Why am I here to learn about 'the creative manipulation of bullshit' while I could be doing so much more? (So many things come to mind... ;))

How are students supposed to work if they feel like crap? How are we supposed to be inspired to learn? How can we creatively manipulate BS when we're constantly in a state where half our emotional, mental and physical capabilities are shutdown? We've ticked off step one on the checklist to How to Become a Zombie in Three Easy Steps.

Clearly, CSL and CSMB haven't got THEIR shit figured out. Maybe they should learn a little from the very curriculum they've prepared for us.
