Oh Yeah!

Hi, again! So, funny story...
I was writing that last blog, and then my friend came up to me and asked what I was doing. "Writing a blog!" I said. He laughed. And then I thought about how blogging is actually quite nerdy...but I think my blogging skills are exceptional! So then I read all of my previous blogs (instead of studying...whoops). While reading them, I actually laughed outloud. HAHAHA! I'm greeeeat. Anyway, the point of this "funny story" is that I forgot how much I actually enjoy blogging. Therefore, I am going to blog again...(intead of studying...)

Know what I can't understand? How people concentrate for long periods of time. I just can't do it! My attention span is very very limited. The girl who is sitting across from me in the library has been working on the same lab for about two hours. I'm impressed!

Also, I'm going to revisit my impression of my mind. So, yeah, it's a long hallway with doors, and inside the doors is filing cabinets with all the info for each specific topic. I have come up with a theory of what happens inside these rooms during an exam: while I'm trying to think of the information I need, I picture myself rummaging through all the filing cabinets desperately. "Ok, Foraminifera...F...F....it's not in here!!!" Files are being thrown around in panic. Then, I hear a noise and look over my shoulder...there, I see a creepy man, smiling at me, while he feeds a file labelled "Foraminifera" into a shredding machine: "Whiiiiiiiirrrrr". Me: "NNNOOOOOOOO!!!"

Ahahah!

My closing thought for the day: Tights are not pants. That is all.

Pent up ANGER?

The last few days, I have been in class, and I have been angry. My general anger is directed towards people. People are weird, and interesting...but a lot of them are selfish and annoying. I guess I'm not a people-person? I can pretend to be, but deep down, I'm not. :(

So, in class, I come in at a reasonable time, the class isn't full at this point, yet I can't find a good seat. Why? BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE DUMB AND SAVE 700 SEATS FOR ALL OF THEIR FRIENDS!!! For example, I have my Nutrition class in War Memorial, which is a large church-like building, with a stage and projector at the front, and the seats are a lot like movie theatre seats, except squishier. I come in today and scan the first 3 rows...all full. Next 7 rows...half full; the other seats all have people's belongings draped over them, waiting for their friends. Why? Are you in grade 5? I just don't understand!

Ok, let's break this down, people...why would you need your whole group of friends to sit with you?
1) To catch up? To talk before class? Ok, really, by the time your friend comes in, you have 1 to 2 minutes to talk to them. You want to catch up? TALK AFTER CLASS! Or....CALL THEM AND HANG OUT OUTSIDE OF CLASS.

2) To make sure your friend has a seat? We are all 19+ years olds...I think we are adult enough to look for our own seats

I cannot think of a 3rd reason. I shall ask people who are saving seats, maybe they can enlighten me on the reasons.

I don't mind as much when the class isn't really full, but in the case of my Nutrition class, every seat is taken, and it's impossible to find seats even 7 minutes before class begins. And then when you do find a seat, it's impossible to actually get to it without stepping on people and belongings, and molesting the back of peoples' heads...it's weird and awkward.

Sometimes, I really just want to go sit where ever I want, and when someone says "Oh, this is saved" I will say "No..." or "They can sit somewhere else"...some day...sigh.
