Was I this clueless? O.o;

Walking out of Stats today, I overheard this snippet of conversation between two very obviously freshmen girls:

"How was class today?"
"Oh, it was boring. All we did was take notes."

Will someone please tell me what they think they've enrolled into? It is clearly not a University. I need to see how long it takes them to realize that the colored pencils, scissors, and glue sticks are just deadweight in their little pink backpacks.
