And for our forecast today we have showers of repeated information

I decided life would be easier if I didn’t take my laptop to campus with me, so I only brought my Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: George Albert Smith manual. It gave me something to read between buses and before class, and it took care of some scripture study, thus saving me time later.

What I didn’t forecast was the uselessness of my economics lecture. I mean, it wasn’t entirely useless, and I’m sure I would have learned something important had I paid more attention, but I feel frustrated overall that our class lectures are so closely tied to the text book’s content. I was this close (look at my fingers) to not going to class today because I can learn in the book what I can learn in class. The professor claims his exams are very difficult—and I believe him, don’t get me wrong. I don't know—I guess this is just one of those classes where I don't need as much clarification. I can definitely see why others would, though, because it's not all intuitive or easy to understand.
