I'm Bored. Where's the Challenge...?

I've just come from my first 400-level ethics exam and all I can say is: "that's it?"

The class was allowed a page of notes (which, by the way, I did not need) for a relatively small amount of information. And,the test was very simple. I have to admit there were two or three questions I was unsure of because I've missed two classes already this semester and the material was not in the assigned reading.

But, I made the most educated guess from what I knew of the philosophies I had studied.

I know it may seem dumb to some students, but I feel cheated. Like I'm just not getting my money's worth in college. I took classes last semester which were presumably difficult, however I missed at least a third of Comm. Research and still made an A. All I had to do was memorize silly handouts from the professor. There was a research paper, and I used a very helpful book from the library to write it (along with required sources)--but it was not difficult. And it's the same for many of the classes I've taken here at USA. (Exept for German, I guess it really does take a lot of work to learn foreign languages). I have even dropped a class because it bored me so much (I would never do this if I didn't have financial aid, I admit.)

Where is the challenge that is supposed to come with college? Maybe it's because I've chosen an "easy" major?? I don't know. I LIKE technology--I just wish I'd learn something new (besides TV production, which seems to be mostly about timing, not technology).

It's the strangest thing to know that if I majored in engineering or physics I would not do so well--I'd study and study for a B because mathematics are somewhat difficult for me.

Do I seem ......arrogant? Complaining about how easy an A is for me sometimes? I don't mean it that way--I'm just tired of being bored.
