"I'm surrounded."

School rant.
So now I have a business writing class. But these classes are apparently taken in a certain pattern, because the assignments are often linked. So those taking COM 210 are assumed to be taking EHT 123, which I think is some sort of humanities class. All well and good, except I'm not taking that, I'm taking an IT class, (finally). But wait, the final project in COM 210 is a powerpoint presentation based on the final project in EHT 123. Um, yeah. And upon asking my instructor what should I do for my final project instead, I'm told to, "prepare your presentation on race in your residential or general city community".
What the flippity fuck? Can you make that topic any broader, I don't think my brain has busted enough, thanks. Race in my community in regards to what, praytell? Race and social class? Race and IQ? Race and they just freakin' exist? What?
But it gets better, because we're supposed to have a particular signature line, and while answering my question, I'm told that I need to configure my signature according to the instructions she posted in the class material. Apparently nobody in this school ever thinks that not everyone uses outlook express when they write these instructions. Besides, I know how to change my signature, just tell me what it should and shouldn't have and I'll freakin' do it..
Unlike seemingly everyone else who I've taken these classes with, I feel a need to point out that I am NOT computer illiterate, thankyouveryfuckingmuch.
If I go on the schedule I have, I would get the AA exactly on December 31, leaving me to start on the BA in 07. But I'm tempted to take a week off and just push it back and hopefully get a different instructor.

Ah yes, the delightful software assumptions!
I haven't touched Outlook Express since, like, seventh grade. Eugh.
