Current mood:  irritated
Category: School, College, Greek

Today was quite possibly one of the most depressing days I've ever had in college, which, while not saying much since I've loved college, is bad in the fact that it showed me how little everything has changed since highschool.  I mean, damn; I almost feel like I've been kidding myself when I've been thinking that I've actually met some mature people.

So we've been reading Sir Gawain and the Green Knight in Humanities, right?  Well, either 1) no one else has been reading it in our class or 2) I'm the only one who understood it, as I'm the only one who really talked about it in class when the teacher wanted us to discuss it with her.  This, naturally, pissed off our teacher (for good reason, as you can imagine) seeing as how we only had to read twenty-five pages of a poem.  A poem, for Chrissakes.  It's not brain surgery.  The real depressing part was that she eventually gave up today and just walked out of class, and the ironic part of it being (and even I'll admit this was funny, as horrible as it is) was that she walked out when class was already meant to be over.  Hopefully, things'll be better Friday.

Man, that takes me back. If your looking for intellegent, mature peoples, college sure ain't the place to go lookin'. Go to a museum, a symphony hall, a bus stop, anything but college. College kids are not intellegent, but they think they are, once again proving how stupid they really are. I believe you philosophers refer to that as, what's the word, oh yes, irony. Those who expect the students in college to be different from those that they went to high school with get what they deserve and deserve what they get, and vice versa. Never underestimate the ability of a teenager to crush the soul of someone more than twice their age. Apathy is our greatest weapon, and we use it to exploit those weaknesses by those who actually care.

And I don't care how good that 25 page poem was, it will never hold a candle to the wonderfully graceful words and poems of Octavio Quintanilla :D (my english "teacher") And a 25 page poem is like a 6 foot tall midget, poems (and midgets) are supposed to be short, let's keep them that way, shall we?
