i heart fighting with strangers

so i remember now why i hate mondays...everyone is extra sensitive on mondays. yesterday i got in a screaming match with htus girl in my soc class in the middle of class. it made for a great frickin day. so it all began very innocently as we sat in our group and chatted about our project. Then she decided to start talking....she said that she had ethical problems with how the grup had chosen the topic and that our ethics were questionable. in my rather short time on the planet i have never had my ethics questioned and over such a stupid thing i was rather suprised....i would think that in someones third year of university a difference of opinion could be handled maturely...apperantly i was wrong. she went on to say that she felt that as a group as well as me specifically were attacking her for her feelings...she was concerned that us talking about sexuality in class would offend her group of friends that were of no specific issue to our project all. i understand that you are concerned with what your friends might think of you... there are times that we all are. but would they ever even hear about the project if you didn't tell them...so i don't really understand the problem. if you cannot handle critisism and discussion where everyone will not agree then you should not take classes where there wll be group discussion or projects and maybe you should consider not attending a post secondary institution.
ahhh i heart fighting with strangers.

school

So...its been a while since i have updated this thing and the entire summer is practically gone by...well actually it has gone by and school has started again. We have been back in school for 5 days or so and already there is so much work to be done and a very small amount of time to do it in. Its strange to be back at the university because there are so many friends that have moved on to bigger things...most even to better things.
The fact that so many of them have finished really makes me excited that i am close to being done too. But not quite yet so let the work continue so that i can do some big things this summer. (GERMANY here i come!!!) So to all of you i wish you luck in your school year and for those of you that are not in school i secretly hate you with every fiber of my being...no i hope you are having fun and its strange not to see you on campus.
