MMI Week 7 - "Course 1"

I'm extremely frustrated at this point and I can't quite put my finger on it as to why. It feels like this class, not the students but the class itself, is just so all over the place. There's no direction to follow with what's going on. We've been handed the book and spent one day going over how to precision measure and let loose on the worksheets. There's only one problem. I understand how to measure something but we have to take an engine apart to measure stuff that we have no idea what the hell we're measuring! If they're gonna teach us to take the engine apart then do that. If they're gonna teach us to measure the stuff then do that. Don't just toss in there to measure the stuff and assume we know what we're doing with regards to reading the service manuals and understanding all the technical terms in it.

I'm also getting real pissed off at some of the other students. I'm there to learn myself. If I'm spending my time teaching you how to do something then I'm missing something else myself that's going on at the same time. I can't tell someone to leave me the hell alone. It's just not in me but that's gonna change real soon.

I'll get it down soon enough. I'm just a little frustrated right now with this instructor.
