Yeah it seems like the only thing I'm doing in grad school is writing papers- I hate having to go to class because the classwork we do isn't relevant in any way, the only thing that matters is just the paper at the end of the semester, so I'd rather not feel like I have to take the time to spend 6 hours in class a week when I could be writing papers anyway. Never mind that I probably wouldn't spend that time writing all the time, but still. It's pointless.
