I'm back. (I don't know why anyone would read this unless they were really really bored.)

First of all... an apology. To everyone who thinks I'm annoying and that I should shut up. I'm sorry. Please tell me next time.

Ok. That said... on with the rant.

Today's rant topic, bad textbooks. Why? (If you have a different idea, e-mail me). Textbooks are so expensive (and if you don't agree, buy mine for me!)... the least they could do is make them educational. I understand that textbooks are meant to supplement the professor's lectures but if the textbook makees no sense by itself then what's the point? ARG. I'm struggling through this godawful textbook right now and I feel like I'm working on some encrypted message or something. Two words: LOGICAL PROGRESSION. I swear, a lot of well written Game clues are much better and easier to understand than this (and they are designed to be cryptic!). I know that I don't write with a logical progression of ideas and that I'm really just rambling... but when you write a textbook, you want other people to understand what you are saying. I swear, it'd be a lot better if you made comprehension a top priority. (Just a note to all you future textbook writers.). Plus, a textbook should be something that you want to keep as a reference and a refresher for all the great stuff that you learned in the class... yes even a class like ChemE 110. If it doesn't make sense, then it's not a good reference, now is it? But there is nothing I can do about it, sadly except accept this fate and maybe gripe about the professor assigning such an awful book.

That said, shutting up now.
