My two favorite college classes

During my college career, not many of my classes were all that interesting. I have decided that since ag ed majors in ohio didn't have to take a content test in agriculture, our department teachers decided to load us up on pedagogy courses. This would help us pass the principles of teaching and learning test for high school teachers, which would make the our teachers look better when they got to brag about how well their students did on the praxis II. However, I think we spent to much time on pedagogy and didn't get the classes I was hoping to in college. This may have had more to do with my major, but oh, well. 

What was probably my favorite class was ag systems management 360. In this course we learned the math behind how machinery works and how to apply that math to ag equipment. Even though I struggled with some of the math, I did enjoy the class. One of my favorite days was when we were talking about combines, the teacher realized that not many of his students had probably ever driven a combine. I was one of the only students who had ever driven a combine, and maybe one of the only ag ed students who had done so in the mixed major class. I took this class spring quarter of my senior year, when most of my classmates were graduating at the end of the quarter. I started wearing my red wing boots around campus everywhere, and really enjoyed that class. I also would like to comment on the quality of the agriculture educators we were supposedly graduating, had little experience with some of the larger parts of farmer operators. They seemingly spend more time worrying about things that are not wholly agriculture related like parlimentary procedure or speech writing, things you wouldn't necessarily think a farmer needs to know. 

My second favorite class was horticulture and crop science 320, principles of plant reproduction. The class was good because the teacher really liked teaching all of us. He liked me because I was not one of the regular hcs students that was grouped off with the other hcs students. I was a bit of an "outside the box" thinker to him. The labs were also all kinds of fun. We got to go in on friday mornings and play around in the greenhouse. My teacher also gave me some hell for being to much of a drunk and going out the night before labs. He told me and my lab partner that the only people that had time to go to bars and drink to much were nurses and education majors. I also had a bit of a crush on my lab partner, from meeting her a year or two earlier in another class. She had a kind of geeky name, carrie fisher. 

On another note, most tv is depressing to me. Watching crime shows just introduces new ways for me to die that I don't want to think about. Someone is either murdered, raped, or some other uncomfortable topic that is not nice to think about or watch with anyone.  Most everything is also awful. The only shows I like to watch are LOST, The Office, The Big Bang Theory, and How I Met Your Mother. All other shows cannot hold my interest.
