On Post-Secondary

For those of you who have spent some time in post-secondary, you probably understand the vague relationships one has with their instructors.

I find the weird relationships with instructors kind of uncomfortable. I want to appear eager, so as to appear that I like class, but I don't want to appear *too* eager cause I don't want to come across as a suck-up. If I'm asking lots of questions, I don't want to be the annoying keener, I just really want to make sure I learn what I'm supposed to know in the correct manner. Also, if I skip class, I'm old enough to be responsible for my decisions, I don't need reprimanding.

The point of all this: I think several of my instructors this term have ill opinions of me. I may have salvaged one relationship today... but all in all, I don't think I'm doing that well.
