This is a ridiculous state, I am sitting in my DBMS explaining to Matthew what the acronym tag is in HTML rather then paying any attention to the teacher. The reason is that the teacher is rambling on about a test that we will have 2 weeks from now, rather then teaching us anything new. The other problem is that he speaks as though he has only one lung, I wish I could hear what he says rather then the white noise that comes from the direction of the podium.
